Brian Wilson, who has been partying with Charlie Sheen and dressing up as a sailor for late night TV, finally went too far and pulled his oblique.

All part of the plan to keep a 6th starter on the roster
and rotate through DL spots. The Sabean is guile.

Everything goes with Guile's theme
especially the Giants winning the World Series

Urban has a lame "column" about how this will doom the Giants
Since Wilson is the team’s most important player.
It’s one of his worst efforts in a while.
I USED TO NOT BELIEVE YOU
I tweet (more often than I blarg).
Really?
I think it would be great of the Giants if Wilson missed a month or so and we got to see that Romo or Casilla could close effectively. I think Wilson’s next contract is one of the team’s biggest potential landmines, we don’t need another Nen contract.

Wilson is a marketer's dream
He will get a fat contract from the Giants. Besides, id rather overpay for him than Benitez 2.0.

Marketers making baseball decisions, where have I heard that one before?
No one wants Benitez 2.0, but signing Wilson to an endless deal isn’t the way you get around that. In fact, that’s precisely the way you get into that. You get out of it by developing your own closers, and letting them walk or trading them before they hit free agency.

Oh don't get me wrong
I’m with you on that one, closers are a volatile business. I just think the marketing dept is going to step in and tell Bowtie “Yeah it’s 5 years and 60 million, but beard day! witty twitter day! Mohawk Mondays! He will pay for himself!”
Ugh.

Keeping Wilson long term is not just good marketing, it’s good baseball. Wilson has been consistently good since he put on a Giant uniform. In fact he’s been so good you’ve been spoiled and forgotten what it’s like to have a bad closer. You dominate the game for eight innings with good pitching and timely hitting, and poof, it’s all gone in the ninth. Blown saves by closers are always the most heartbreaking kinds of losses, and the ones that keep you up at night. No thanks.

I remember what it’s like to have a bad bullpen. It’s not like the Giants consistanly had great pitching for eight innings and then the closer blew it, it was more often that the Giants had eight innings of mediocre to poor pitching and the closer was more of the same. Herges and Benitez were on the most visible tip of the iceberg of suck. The difference is that the Giants have a quality relief staff, several of whom could be a serviceable or better 9th inning man, there’s no point in paying market closer prices for a marginal upgrade.

Guys, you're missing the real panic.
Speaking of DeRosa, he will miss his third straight day tomorrow with slight tendinitis in his left wrist

My son, so I'm told. And this stalwart young lad (Hi, free f.p. #14!).
Meh.
Didn’t need him last year, probably won’t need him this year. Just one less body in Belt’s way.
VAE PVTO DEVS FIO
disagree
He’d be a fantastic bench piece if he were healthy. We may not have needed him last year but I think his wrist hurting will impact the team more than Wilson missing the first week of the season.

I read he doesn’t have tendinitis. They’re sitting him so he doesn’t get tendinitis. That would be a normal injury after sitting out so long and coming back and playing almost every day.

Has anyone else thought that Charlie Sheen and Brian Wilson should star in a reality show together?
It would be about WINNING, obviously.
