Pablo Sandoval, Giants Agree to Three-Year Deal

PrintFrom the official Twitter feed:
SF Giants agree to terms on 3-year Major League contract with Pablo Sandoval
And I had just finished a 750-word post titled "Why Pablo Sandoval Should Get a Minor-League Deal." Damn. Down the tubes. From Baggs, the details:
The Sandoval breakdown: $3.2 million this year, $5.7 million in 2013, $8.25 million in 2014. Takes him through all three arbitration years.
Before you get excited, remember that Sandoval was almost certainly going to be with the Giants all three years anyway. This doesn't buy out any free-agent years. But it gives the Giants some cost certainty -- if his year from 2011 is the norm for the next three years, that last year would have been awfully expensive in arbitration.
If Pablo heads down a Grady Sizemore alley, though, he'll have guaranteed money. He's set for life. Everyone wins! Except for Matt Cain, who finished with a no-decision.
I'd like that "hitting as well as 2011 every year" scenario a lot more, though. The important thing is that Pablo Sandoval is awesome and on the Giants.

Good contract
Sandoval was worth $7.3M in 2010. Hard to see him underperforming this contract bar injury, and if he keeps going (or gets better) there’s massive savings.

TSFGWTWS DESPITE Botchy, not BECAUSE of him.
yeah but still could be massive savings
not hard to magine his last arb year being like 16m or more.
If it was FA salary
He would have been worth like $18-20M last year.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
I guess my point was, if you didn’t get a bargain for an arbitration eligible player, you’re doing it wrong.
Brandon Crawford: Yeah, but check out that Defense!
Lars Bet: 1st HoF: Bonds > Clemens
but this is a larger bargain than I think you'd expect
again, value should be something like 40/60/80, I believe and if Pablo performs something close to his career averages, the Giants will have done better than that.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
Yeah actually it's a bigger bargain than I originally thought.
If we assume just a repeat of 09/10/11 (which I think would be conservative), and 40/60/80, we’d save about 17 mil.
Brandon Crawford: Yeah, but check out that Defense!
Lars Bet: 1st HoF: Bonds > Clemens
So, 50% savings over pre-existing arb savings.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Yeah. But the Giants are probably getting savings over what he should be making as a player in his arb years.
Also, it’s more value locked up at sub-arbitration level rates, which is of course a good thing.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
If he's able to sustain his play from 09/11, then he's going to be a humongous bargain
isn’t last year of arb pricing supposed to be about 80% of FA worth?

My boy has mad hops
I rant on Twitter
I’m semi on the bandwagon that making him earn 1 year deals until he’s a FA gives him more incentive to stay in shape. I’m very sure it would cost the Giants more money to go this route because:
1. Higher chance he plays well because he’s more inclined to be in shape
2. Since he’s playing well he’ll be more expensive.
BUT, I think this Pablo has a higher chance of being a superstar and thus helping the Giants win more in the next 3 years.
Brandon Crawford: Yeah, but check out that Defense!
Lars Bet: 1st HoF: Bonds > Clemens
I doubt that Pablo lacks incentive to stay in shape. He might have thought he could get away with just being awesomely talented and working hard during the season, and after 2010, realized that wasn’t going to work. I think he’ll continue to work hard in the off-season, especially since playing baseball seems to give him so much joy
Cause if Pablo continues to hit and play like he did in 2009 and 2011, his other arb years could get really expensive.

Because if he's 60% of what he was last year

Is there any possibility that it was Panda’s side that didn’t want a deal for any FA years?

I would like to think this is the obvious case.
Brandon Crawford: Yeah, but check out that Defense!
Lars Bet: 1st HoF: Bonds > Clemens
Absolutely.
Then again, the cynical side of me thinks that the Giants’ slavish devotion to NO LONG-TERM DEALS could’ve played a part, too. No, I don’t seriously believe that.
LOL. Seriously, though, I think either option is possible. Maybe Baggs will have some info on it.

We’ll probably only find out well after the fact, like the extra year for Cain that got nixed.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
OK by me
I don’t think Panda’s future is such a lock that bringing free agency pricing into the mix was going to be a good risk for the Giants. Let’s see some consecutive good ones and flat weight first.

-- Scott Burton to Red Sox fans, 6/12/02
http://espn.go.com/magazine/burton_20020612.html
I'm in this boat
When dealing with a player that’s still under multiple years of team control, there are two possible incentives to offer a multi year deal.
1. Exchange security for additional years of team control.
2. Exchange security to save money.
You choose #1 if you believe in a player and think he will be worth more at the end of his arb years so you gamble to lock into additional years. You are preparing for him to flourish.
You choose #2 if you have doubts about a player and wants to save money in case he doesn’t flourish. You are preparing for failure.
In the end, the Front office chose the path of the Rainy Day Fund. When in doubt, choose the path that saves money.

If we rewind the tape, Panda’s first go at 3B was, umm…, and adventure. Last year he was spectacular. I really had to deal with the dissonance between my expectations and what I was seeing last year.

Fair point on the Renteria thing, but in the three years that Pablo’s been a full time player, he’s been more valuable than 8 million dollars in two of them, and pretty damn close to 8 million in his down year. This is a bargain.

It was in response to an ESPN headline DFARowand posted saying that Jeter was the embodiment of MLK’s dream.
I later conceded that the above quote was insufficiently specific, and clarified that I was referring to racial bias consequent from skin tone, a subject which has been extensively covered in reputable psychology and sociology journals. This was relevant in that many people don’t know that Jeter is multiracial, whereas players like Orlando Hudson and Torii Hunter have had less than kind things to say about the state of race relations in the sport.

In 2011, Albert Pujols and Adrian Gonzalez led their respective leagues in double plays, with 29 and 28 respectively (both higher numbers than Sandoval in 2010). Like Sandoval, Pujols did it while his team was winning the World Series without him.
Citing grounded into double play numbers is as meaningless now as it was when we were all huffing about it that season. In fact, “huffing” is probably a good term to use in a comment about GIDP.

Generally, people are paid based on the quality of work they are expected to produce, an estimation derived from past performance.
Given that the Giants actually won the World Series in 2010 (little known fact), they arguably needed him more in 2009 and 2011 when the fell 3-4 games short of the playoffs. And he kicked ass those years.

I agree, but Pablo’s a bit different, he went to Jenny Craig and became a new man.

He was more valuable in terms of production, yes. But as a Giants fan, I consider postseason play and World Series wins more important.

You're right!
The facts that Panda was good in two (including the most recent and thus most heavily-weighted (LOLfat) in terms of projecting future performance) years of a three-year span and that his team won the World Series in his one off year are not sufficient to balance out that one time he hit .176 in a 19-PA span.
Conclusions to be drawn:
Pablo Sandoval is a poopy mcpooperpants and should be banished from the team forthwith.

Here’s what my friend said about how they got jobs at the USGS:
We both worked as interns for 2 years before we got our jobs. And we learned GIS really well. And we got our master’s degree, which it was through the people that we met through that program that we got the jobs that we did.
Hope it helps. Good luck!
2012 is going to be awesome!
boom, that’s it. GIS, and a masters, perfect, thank you so much! And really it is always a connection that gets you an opportunity somewhere. But this is a huge help and something i plan on doing with going to grad school and taking a few more classes in GIS

It is a good one. Humboldt had a fantastic program but that may be going downhill real fast real soon.

I know Miami has a program, how many courses does it take?
or does that depend on the school you go to
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
It’s likely different depending on the program. I know a bunch of people who went to Humboldt but don’t know it well myself. Also know a few who did their bachelor’s at UCSB and went to New Zealand for their Master’s work.
All of my experience is professional. I came into the environmental field with a different background but learn a bunch of GIS as well as other stuff on the job.
Well, that’s something i definitely want to get into, and my geography degree is so broad, i’ve focused on the environmental aspect of Geography. So i’ve looked at jobs such as Environmental Technicians, internships, stuff like that. Just want to know the position titles to apply to basically
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010

Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
It sounds like it was awesome. I do wish I did some form of overseas study when I was in school. That’s what my boss and his friend did.
All of my GIS stuff came on the job. I work for an environmental consultant in the Sacramento area doing CAD, GIS, web mapping, 2D and 3D rendering and all kinds of data analysis. I enjoy it but it wasn’t my goal while going to school. Didn’t really know this field existed until they were the first to take a chance on my while I was still in school.
So my background isn’t the norm. Actually, I’m not sure there is a norm for this kind of company. I do work with people with degrees in geography who went on to do GIS professionally. What do you feel like you want to do? Even if you don’t want to do data stuff as a career, it’s still great to have some GIS experience for what sounds like you’re interested in. It’s a good bullet point on your resume and becoming kind of standard.
That said, we have a ton of people with just enough GIS experience to get in trouble and annoy us. ;)
That does sound pretty damn interesting though, and i wish i would’ve taken that opportunity while at Miami, they had the study abroad over in Luxembourg.
See, that’s exactly what i’ve been applying to, Environmental Consulting companies. But to be honest, i’ve never dealt with CAD, just GIS, but i would assume those are just opportunities i just apply to and let them decide whether i’m qualified or not.
What I would like to do really is become a geotechnician work with data , and possibly a data analyst. I’m definitely going to consider going back for a few classees to get that GIS certificate. Also I’m considering marketing and the business field, runs along the same lines as a geography degree.
And that is great to know, haha
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
The CAD stuff isn’t as much of a plus as it once was if at all for what you’re looking at. Sure, it would be nice but nowhere near a deal breaker. The GIS stuff is the much more relevant knowledge and is only going to become more important.
Working with the USGS would sound great for you but most of the people I know who have worked with them started out as interns. So it’s up to you if you’re willing to intern for a while first. A geography degree and GIS certificate can be enough to sneak into an entry level position in a mapping department at a lot of places. Schools are starting to pump out more and more GIS kids so I say give that certificate a good look if you’re interested in that stuff.
That’s good to know, yea, i’m not looking necessarily for CAD. Definitely can see now that GIS is VERY important, and lots of people are looking for a skill in GIS, since that could come in handy, saying you’re technically literate.
So i should probably look into USAJOBS.gov and start applying to an abundance of jobs that. I’d love to do an intern first, or an associate/assistant first to get acclimated to the job. I almost think that a Masters degree is definitely important now, especially from what you said, where more and more people are starting to get GIS certificates
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker
One of the best moments in Giants history, 11/1/2010
I say think about that cert, dude. It will only help and then from there you can decide if you want to go deeper. With your geography degree it could be enough to get you into a pretty interesting job with the government and lead to a nice career. Obviously a master’s wouldn’t hurt either.
Either way you decide to go, good luck.
Probably will look into what it will take to get a GIS certificate right here in the area, going after a masters this fall. Thanks for the insight man! Appreciate it.
Thanks for that, i’m looking at season jobs in Chicago to get my foot in the door with companies. So we will see. Either way, taking the environmental path has been a passion since i was a kid, so we’ll see

Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker

For sure. Almost every resume coming in from younger folks has GIS knowledge on there somewhere. Even the biologists who end up never touching the stuff at least used it for some simple mapping in school.
Now if you’re looking more into jumping right into project management (for firms like ours at least) it become less important.

I’m sure someone more eloquent than me can explain it, but basically this law will let courts force ISP to shut down access to certain websites, such as those that link to torrents or illegal activities. It’s a big problem to a lot of people because it represents a violation of free speech, and many websites such as Wikipedia, Twitter, etc actually give the ability for one to post links to say, a torrent for LOTR or something, and thus could be shut down for that.

Best case scenario
Clunky anti-piracy legislation.

DNS provisions have since been dropped from the bill, and the White House has said they will not support the bill, but it is still a big-copyright piece of crap meant to pad profit margins (when in fact he does the opposite). It needs to be killed dead.

Apparently, the Yankees recently contacted the Giants and offered four players for Matt Cain. The package was a combination of at least one position player and several minor league pitchers. Some of the names that were bandied about were Jesus Montero, Nick Swisher, and different minor league talent that included names such as Dellin Betances, Adam Warren, David Phelps and Hector Noesi.

Did anyone talk about a Pablo extension this offseason?
I didn’t hear much regarding this topic, maybe if we stopped thinking about extending Cain and Timmy, they will get extended as well!!! ::: wishful thinking.
There's a First for Everything:
Edgar Renteria, The First World Series MVP in Giants History.
Not extensively, though MLBTR rightfully identified him as an extension candidate (ditto Bumgarner), and there was some mention of it on here when the matter of extensions came up.
Buying out free agent years for premium pitchers, on the other hand, is a much more delicate process.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Depending on how things go with Lincecum (AKA close to best-case-scenario stuff), I could see them reaching out to Bumgarner mid-season about an extension. Or next offseason before he goes to arb, as they did with Pablo.

So do grown ups
By the late 2000s, I was still enjoying baseball, but had lost some of the joy. Maybe it was the whole Bonds/PEDs thing where it seemed like what happened off the field was bigger than the game. The two things that made me appreciate the joy the game can bring, and probably saved me from eventually losing interest in the game, were Vizquel and Panda. Both of them were obviously having so much fun out there that it was infectious.
Bold Prediction: Pablo Sandoval finishes 1st or 2nd in 2012 NL MVP voting. I'm Twittering now (well maybe not literally now): @GoofusMcP
Vizquel is somebody I really wanted the Giants to hire after he’s done playing (which should be any decade now) for scouting/special assistant work but I think he has closer ties to other organizations, plus he such a bon vivant maybe he’d rather become a even more famous painter(?)/dancer/singer.
Pablo is obviously different but his joy in playing and in life is undeniable.
Though it is clearly well-informed, we find his argument unconvincing; however, the possibility that we are too stupid to comprehend it deserves serious consideration. Germane Literature: The Cutting Edge 13:2, 4/2006
This deal definitely keeps Pablo honest.
He can’t just goof around for three years. You’ll love him even more if he produced for 3 years and earn a big contract (from us hopefully).
There's a First for Everything:
Edgar Renteria, The First World Series MVP in Giants History.
More honest than he would be without a long term extension in place, but not buying out his arbitration seasons would have done a better job of motivating him on a seasonal basis. This just seems like a financial move by the Giants.

He’s one year removed from me threatened with demotion and he worked his ass off to become an even better player than he was in 2009, and now he has job/income security with the incentive to do even more in this game.
If I’m right, then the deal gives the Giants cost certainty, keeps him honest and makes him feel good about what’s he accomplished. Win-win-win!
As an aside, you keep trashing Panda, which really astounds me. I thought he was the one guy who most universally appreciated around these parts.

I agree with everything except the “incentive” part. I’m just not seeing how “job/income security” would motivate him just as much or more than year to year arbitration. Maybe it shows the Giants appreciate his efforts and he’ll want to reciprocate. If anything, this takes the some pressure off him to perform for the next couple of seasons. That could be a good or bad thing depending on whether he stays committed to working hard.

he gets security with this, but also kind of hugely limits how much he could potentially make year to year. I think it’s the right balance between security, while also allowing Pablo to get a potential big pay day down the line when he’s 28 if he stays healthy/productive.

…he does seem to be comfortable in the role of “team spokesman/most tenured Giant” and he’s been in the organization since he was a teenager. As a young married father, he fits the profile of a guy who likes stability and not always looking for greener pastures.
Also, the stuff Baggs told me about him would seem to back that up.

I don’t really know what kind of precedence there is with elite set-up men. Guys like Gregorson, Bard, and Venters are either just hitting arb or haven’t reached it yet.
Still I think Romo (if we’re assuming this is his 40% year) could have asked for $2 or $2.5M. But he’d probably be walking in uncharted waters, which wouldn’t help his case.

Don't think he can cut it in the bigs? Brock Bond will be the bigger man and walk walk walk away.
I remember seeing that in the America’s Game documentary.
The 1985 Bears were not the first pro football team with a group song. The 1984 San Francisco 49ers put out a record during that season, one in which they also went on to become Super Bowl champs. The song, “We Are the 49ers,” was in the vein of post-disco/80’s dance-pop music. Later in the 1980s, the 49ers would put out another team song titled “49ers Rap.” Neither of these songs, however, became a hit on the scale of the “Super Bowl Shuffle”.

Work hard at your bar review class and you’ll do fine. Remember the essay tips. Practice the multiple choice and the prof resp until your eyeballs bleed.

My motivation was to avoid paying for it again (I came out of law school without a penny to my name).

Giants 2012 payroll now stands at $106.9M
Counting Rowand’s money, and with only Timmy and Romo left to sign.
Worst case: Timmy ($21.5M) + Romo ($2M) + $106.9M = $130.4M
Best case: Timmy ($17M) + Romo ($1.5M) + $106.9M = $125.4M

Romo filed at $1.75M, so:

I’m not sure how Baggs is coming up with his worst case of $131.783M. He’s got an extra $1.6M from somewhere? Wait a minute, I see that Baggs has also been fooled by the phantom $1.6M sgining bonus supposedly still owed to Rowand. Once and for all, Rowand’s $8M signing bonus was paid out as:
$4M in 2008
$4M in 2009

I like the certainty it adds. The problem is the uncertainty with Sandoval’s play and fitness. He is going to have to end the yoyo pattern with his weight. If it continues, he will undoubtedly give up. We’ve seen it with so many heavy-bodied athletes over the years. But hey, at least we know we won’t have to dish out too much money if he has a huge year only to have him follow it with a terrible year (while getting paid way too much).

Could they be thinking that
that the $8.25 mill. is just a placeholder? If he has two good years and is obviously worth way more than the $8.25 million, they could be discussing another three year deal or something like that starting in the third year. In other words, the $.8.25 mill. becomes $15 or so and Pablo signs something reasonable for the first couple of years of FA.

Getting drunk before a flight is good in theory but bad in practice. You have to go the bathroom a lot, there’s really nothing you can do to help keep the party going, and the airplane air makes you thirstier.

Intent to Blow
As there is a human factor involved in blowing the whistle to stop play, the Referee may deem the play to be stopped slightly prior to the whistle actually being blown. The fact that the puck may come loose or cross the goal line prior to the sound of the whistle has no bearing if the Referee has ruled that the play had been stopped prior to this happening.

The only things that are reviewable on a goal call are whether or not the puck crossed the line (obviously), whether the puck was in before the time expired, if the stick was over the crossbar, if the puck went in off the official, if the goal was off its moorings before or after the puck crossed the line, or if the puck was thrown/kicked in.
Judgment calls like interference or “intent to blow” (when the ref blows or intends to blow the whistle because he has lost sight of the puck and rules it dead) are non-reviewable.

Canadian accent is really easy to pick up
I picked a bit of one up from my summer job (most of my coworkers were from Canada). And in such a Canadian-dominated sport – especially in the minors where he’s been playing – a lot of guys tend to pick up the accent. Like Pavelski.

They have blogs for EPL teams like West Ham now. I couldn’t find a single comment on any of the posts last time I was there. I felt bad for the guy.

A lot of SBN blogs with good content have very few to no comments. I don’t know why some attract hordes of crazy people like us and some don’t.

Well, I certainly don’t know any American West Ham supporters.

I randomly know a lot of Hotspurs supporters. Chelsea or Arsenal or Man U you might expect but the Hotspurs?

I know one, and I’ve seen people wearing Hotspur kits. Hey, they’re currently tied for second. Out of nowhere.

I think if I supported a soccer team it would be Bayern Munchen
The few times I have seen them, they seemed to have a high proportion of hot players.

To be fair, when it is a sport that I care about (Baseball, Hockey, Football) looks are very much secondary.
But soccer isn’t my sport so I just want to have something pretty to look at.

Aubrey Huff: "My body is ripped."
A gamble, but of all the moves made this offseason so far, the best calculated risk IMHO.
Locking in additional FA years would have been nice and all, but we’re locking in a young player with considerable talent, helping to create a clear picture of what’s available for Matt/Tim/other hitting or fielding needs.
By year three of this contract, he’s still making less than Aaron Rowand or Barry Zito were in any given year, and only moderately more than other clunker deals in recent years (slightly more than Tejada or Huff money, for example.) Given his career stats so far, the only wild card is health.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
Yay!

Lincecum fangraphs analysis
Where Will It Come Out?
Two years ago, in their first foray into the arbitration process, the Giants offered $8 million and Lincecum — coming off two consecutive Cy Young awards — countered with $13 million. As they waited for the arbitrators to enter the hearing room, the two sides struck a deal for two years and $23 million — $8 million plus a $1 million bonus in 2010 and $13 million plus a $1 million bonus for 2011.
The Giants’ $17 million offer would be a 30 percent increase for Lincecum over his 2011 salary. A jump to $21.5 million would be a 65 percent increase.
The arbitrators must choose a number. There’s no compromise. If it gets that far, my bet is on the Giants’ $17 million offer. It’s more in line with Lincecum’s service-time peers who have outperformed him over the last two seasons. Yes, he won the Cy Young in 2008 and 2009, but he has not kept pace with Halladay, Lee and Sabathia, and shouldn’t be compensated at their level.
At least not in 2012.

Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
Giants signed RHP Yusmeiro Petit to a minor league contract.
We’re assuming the deal includes a spring training invite. Petit, 28, had a 4.17 ERA and 28/5 K/BB ratio over 36 2/3 innings in the Mexican League last season. The former Mets farmhand hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2009 with the Diamondbacks.
Giants signed INF Gil Velazquez to a minor league contract.
Velazquez appeared in four games with the Angels last season, but spent the majority of the year at the Triple-A level, batting .328/.399/.466 with eight home runs, 58 RBI and an .865 OPS. He’ll be a longshot to make the Giants’ Opening Day roster.

Does the anagram thumb sports? The weekday slice rails. Sports pats the meal below the style. A kiss tools a recipe opposite the irrational slash. The honey plays with the foreseeable sample.
