Quick pre-game note on Belt
by Grant Brisbee on Mar 29, 2011 4:46 PM PDT
Email
PrintFrom Scott Ostler:
We're breaking the story here first, and possibly inaccurately (what courage!): Brandon Belt will be the Giants ' Opening Day first baseman. The Giants haven't made it official, because it's their M.O. to play it coy...
Hmm. Still not buying it. Nor can I read the rest of the story because it's exclusive to the print edition of the paper today, so I can't tell if this was a tongue-in-cheek opening to the article, but it would really, really surprise me if the Giants opened the season with Belt on the roster. I don't think the Giants are overly concerned with service-time issues, but when there's a decent baseball argument behind keeping Belt in AAA, I think service time is a good tiebreaker.
If the Giants start Opening Day with Belt at first, we'd sure be a long ways from re-signing Molina to block Posey, or from starting Randy Winn (who was leading all MLB right fielders in being not good) in order to bury John Bowker (who at the same time was leading all AAA right fielders in being good.)

Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
I just wanted to point something out from the last thread
From the time that Brian Sabean took over in 1997, Barry Bonds was worth 86.7 WAR for the Giants.
Now, your typical MVP will usually have somewhere in the 8 WAR range.
So from 1997-2007, Barry Bonds had 6.7 WAMVP. And that was with him missing a full year in 05.
That’ll do a lot to make you a better GM.

I can’t either. jp has a bad thang about Scott, and that’s ok. But there is decent reporting behind his levity.
I received the Chron this morning, and Ostler was on the back page. The prediction quoted by Grant doesn’t appear in my edition. Maybe in later editions, but not in mine.
Do we have reason to suspect that the name writers of the Chron are being pressured by management to “break” news based on “sources?” I have that feeling.
Last decade/century guys like Jenk and Ost prefer commentary and snipe. I do too. New York columnists of the ’50’s were far far looser with the facts and the quotes. It wasn’t a better age for journalism.
But really: I wonder if Boch even knows who will start at first on opening day. I started at first base the other night, but then she got a look at me.

Oh Heyman..are you trying to jinx the Giants?
Buster Posey will win the National League MVP. Sure, Albert Pujols could easily take it as he heads toward free agency. And so could his teammate Matt Holliday, who seems fully comfortable a year after signing his own big deal to stay in St. Louis.
But Posey is primed for a monster year with the pressure off after leading the Giants to a World Series championship despite beginning last year in the minors. As one scout said, once Posey learns how to pull the ball, he could be unstoppable.
Giants first baseman Brandon Belt will win the NL Rookie of the Year award. Scouts loved what they saw from him in spring. Even if he doesn’t make the Opening Day Roster, he is expected to make a difference at some point this season and he’s a major threat for this honor. The Braves’ Freddie Freeman, another first baseman, is an understandably popular choice. He’ll get plenty of chances, since there’s no backup plan there.
The world champion Giants will prove that they are no fluke, winning the NL West. The Rockies, who have the best tandem of every-day stars in Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez, will take the wild card. The Dodgers have very solid pitching and Matt Kemp may finally realize his full potential after a huge spring, but they have too many holes in their lineup in a very difficult division. The Padres still have that great bullpen, but their offense has a chance to regress with A-Gon gone, and their rotation is going to find it hard to duplicate its performance of a year ago. The young Diamondbacks will test their impatient manager, Kirk Gibson.

It sounds like Andre Ethier doesn’t actually know when he’s going to be eligible for FA?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Andre Ethier drove in the Dodgers’ first run with a first-inning double off Ervin Santana. Ethier is in the final season of a two-year, $15.25 million contract that will pay him $9.25 million this season. And the way he’s talking, the Dodgers might have a difficult time re-signing him next winter because of the uncertainty of the team’s payroll and subsequent ownership in the wake of owner Frank McCourt’s divorce from wife Jamie.
“This is my sixth one, and who knows? It might be my last one here with the Dodgers. You never know. A lot of signs are pointing that way, so we’ll have to see,” Ethier said. “Six years for a Dodger is a long time, in the era that we’re living in. So I’m going to cherish every moment I can, enjoy the season and try to make it my best one.”

I thought it was a little strange when people talked about Ross’ injury as something that significantly changed the situation. I don’t think a couple of weeks without Cody Ross would force their hand with their top prospect. There still might be a chance he starts the year with the team, but it wouldn’t be because the team acted out of Rossless desperation.
I didn’t either at the time, but Huff in RF makes me think they don’t even see Nate as a temporary fill-in in RF.

You gotta remember that a few days ago, Ostler figured the best way to compensate for the loss of Ross was Huff RF, Pablo 1B, Tejada 3B, and DeRosa SS. Why the last two? Why wouldn’t DeRosa just go right into third? If he was a better choice at SS, he’d have that job.

Belt’s hitting .279/.329/.485 this Spring. That’s not really “MAKE ROOM FOR HIM11” material for a 1B. I keep hearing that Belt’s part of the Giants’ “best team on the field”, but, considering his merely decent Spring, his small sample size minor league career, and the defensive downgrade from Schierholtz to Huff, that’s pretty debatable.

I saw highlights on MLB Network where he hit one to left-center that wouldn’t have been gone at ATT. I also saw him hit one against Cleveland on Saturday to right that would have been out at ATT. He absolutely crushed it!

Yeah, I think at least early in his career he'll have mostly doubles
He’ll probably still have 15-20 HR’s but probably not 25-30 for a few years

But so long as he get’s the Jason Heyward treatment (i.e. real playing time, long rope, etc.) I’ll make my peace with it.

Hot tip!
If you don’t have any equity and don’t particularly care about your house, it makes financial sense to just stop paying the old mortgage! Ship out in a year and buy another house that’s just as big for half the price. Use the money you save by not paying the mortgage to help with your down payment.
Unless you have a second mortgage. Then this is perhaps not a good idea.

I know this one lady that did a short sale, and her real estate agent somehow allowed her to still be liable for the deficiency on her first mortgage. Which she would not have been had she allowed it to go to foreclosure. I’m not sure about the tax implications, but even assuming she got off scot free on that angle, she was still completely screwed.

There was a good article the other day on Reuters (lol almost wrote Rueters) about this, but not much about CA. The general gist was that banks are generally not pursuing deficiency judgments against debtors, but I’m sure there are exceptions.

Awful movie. It’s sort of like Inception with a dash of steampunk and a whole lot of objectification of women. The trailers promised a fun action movie with hot chicks wielding machine guns fighting giant samurai robots and zombie German soldiers. Those are the only enjoyable sequences. They are sandwiched between a really depressing framing device within an even more depressing framing device that I guess Zack Snyder thought would “make ya think.” But really, it just leaves me mad and disgusted.
