Gary Brown’s worst case scenario is .250 hitter with a poor OBP, flashes of power but no consistent production, 15-20 steals if you give him regular playing time, a solid glove, a long career as a fourth outfielder but doesn’t hold regular status for more than a year or two.

Realistically, I think he really does have a shot. I want to see how he does in the higher levels of the minors before I assume he’ll be a star, but I do really, really like what I’ve seen from him so far.

Third base!

Not that Joseph would necessarily be suited, but quite a few have shifted there. The good hands and reaction time needed for a catcher seem like a fit there.

No

Tommy Boy is only slightly faster than Bengie Molina was near the end of his career. He would make you think that Pat The Bat was a gazelle in LF by comparison. Joseph’s only other possible position in the NL (besides catcher) is 1B – and he projects to be a well below-average defender there.

Disagree.

Susac, despite not having played pro ball yet, is actually older than Joseph.

by GiantPain on Jan 30, 2012 6:05 AM PST up reply actions  

What?

He makes the least sense to me. He’s 20 years old and we’ve seen only brief flashes of his potential. He hasn’t accomplished much so his trade value is low, but he’s young and talented enough that any trade could make us look dumb.

by GiantPain on Jan 30, 2012 6:05 AM PST up reply actions  

Or he’s young and talented enough that his potential may have more value than his ultimate performance.

by BestHyperboleEver on Jan 30, 2012 8:00 AM PST up reply actions  

Sure

That’s always the tradeoff. But Joseph’s upside is much higher than his trade value.

by GuyWhiteyCorngood on Jan 30, 2012 9:05 AM PST up reply actions  

I’m not sure you, or anybody else, knows that until his names actually starts coming up in trade talks. Sufficed to say other teams know his upside as well. It’s not his upside that will determine whether he’s under or overvalued. It’s teams differing opinions on whether that upside will eventually be realized.

On a sidenote, I kinda feel like any hitting prospect the Giants want to trade should be sent immediately to San Jose so they can pile up numbers.

Meet the new weapon in Cancer Treatment : Re-188-Liposome.

Using Nanotechnology, the drug, when injected into the bloodstream, seeks out blood vessels leading to cancerous cells. Using permeability principle, it accumulates to block nutrient going to cancer cells and releases minute amount of beta radiation to kill it.

It is now in first phase human testing in Taiwan (FDA, obviously, drags its feet in approval for testing in the US). Laboratory testing on mice shows curing of cancer cells in as soon as 3 months with 80% rate of survival.

We were supposed to go to Mazatlan, but with all of the cartel/bandit problems there, Disney canceled that portion of the cruise and gave us an extra day in Cabo San Lucas instead. I was fine with that. I ♥ Cabo.

And don’t worry, you weren’t missing anything in Mazatlan. My least favorite of the three stops. It didn’t help that I went on the kayaking excursion and the waters there had millions of jellyfish at the time.

It’s way better than Oblivion, in many different ways. I haven’t been playing it because I’ve been playing Battlefield 3 with a buddy. But it’s really, really good.

Cool, cause this is exactly what we want from him.
Surkamp doesn’t project as an ace starter for me. . .he isn’t the type of guy you build your rotation around, but he deserves more chances and I think he has a shot at being a solid number four starter.

Also, the “Xanthan is a computer” meme is one of my favorites on this site.

I love the Skills Competition. I mean, mostly for the goalie races and the hardest shot (Chara hit 108.8 MPH this year), but also because they actually show personality for once (Carey Price was a goalie for the breakaway challenge, and instead of trying to make saves he Tebowed or turned around and tried to make the save backwards).

And that there are generally all sorts of ridiculous passing and dangles in the ASG itself is pretty fun to watch. I feel bad for the goalies, though.

McCutchen is 3 years younger and has 8 points on Ellsbury in wRC+. But yeah, I guess you would have to go with Ellsbury just because he was so ridiculously good last year. And UZR has McCutchen as a pretty bad defender, which I find weird.

I just happen to know that the model they used to determine eq probabilities in the Bay Area was a local model and not a statewide one.

SMC is hitting ESPN hard! Main page “watercooler” write-up

Let’s take a brief westward turn: How about those Saint Mary’s Gaels? Still unbeaten in league play, still rolling on offense, still leaps ahead of their West Coast Conference rivals — particularly BYU, which appears unlikely to factor into the title chase now and needs serious help if it wants to get back to the NCAA tournament. Two things here: (1) Saint Mary’s is one of the most enjoyable teams in the country to watch, and I encourage everyone to do so, and (2) Remember when moving to the WCC was supposed to be elementary for BYU? Not so much, it turns out.

Giants executive Tony Siegle: "So much for ‘Moneyball.’ "

Siegle, the Giants executive, said he did not read it but heard more than enough about what he perceived as its worship of numbers.

“Statistics are very important. They’re not the be-all and end-all,” said Siegle, who has worked for 23 general managers in his five decades as a major league executive.

“Nothing is going to supplant good scouting, good player development and a good general manager.”

The statistical analysts were not kind to the Giants’ front office last season, for assembling a roster made up of what Manager Bruce Bochy called “castoffs and misfits.” The championship apparently did not immunize the front office from allegations of ignorance, supported by statistics.

“We still get that every now and then,” Siegle said. “I have to go back and make sure we still won the World Series.”

Not everyone in baseball bought into ‘Moneyball’

I drank so much of it one night without eating that I blacked out and ended up at a south african au pair’s house with 8 of her friends and no one else. As soon as I amde sure I had both my kidneys I found out that I was actually in Las Vegas ( i started in LA). On the plus side I was apparently the life of the party.

Also my roommate Senior year… came back one night with my girlfriend, and i hear sounds, thought it was from the people upstairs, so i started punching the ceiling because it was 5 AM and they’re going at it.

good call

and taller chicks can be awesome. They usually get a lot of shit for being tall so they stay humble even though they can be super cute. They aren’t used to guys either being taller than them OR being confident enough to deal with their height.

I scolded 2 girls for wearing dresses that were shorting out the brains of 95% of the guys at this bar. Somehow I ended up with both their numbers. I told them they could be attractive without showing me literally everything they had to offer.

Jon Heyman, late of Sports Illustrated and Newsday, now of CBS, is a fine baseball reporter. He keeps up with rumors at an impressive clip, and, when he’s not the first with a scoop, he’ll credit whoever had it first on Twitter. Judging by his TV and Twitter personas, he seems reasonable. But he also seems rich. Really rich. We’ve noticed this pattern for some time, but Heyman’s tweet on Saturday afternoon ensured that we would speak our minds:

“Out of element at standard hotel downtown. Just saw model asked concierge where to find best gay clubs. No trade rumors here!”

Chris Mara’s team hammered its way into the Super Bowl. On Tuesday, his daughter was nominated for an Academy Award.

His daughter Rooney Mara had joined the family in San Francisco and watched as the Giants beat the 49ers in overtime to win the NFC championship at Candlestick Park. Then, Tuesday morning he watched the Oscar nominations on TV as if he was going through another tense overtime.

Both Rooney and his other daughter, Kate, who also is an actress, will be in Indianapolis, as they were in the rain at The Stick.

"Kate is more of the football fan, without a doubt, but Rooney was in the stands in San Francisco watching the game, and that took a lot of bravery," he said. "It’s a rough crowd out there. It’s not like it used to be. But then again, I think she’s learned how to handle herself after the last film," he said, referring to all the violence in "Tattoo."

I’m conflicted. She deserves an Oscar in opinion…..but damn her.

So I exhorted my parents to search under the deck again for our missing cat, and they did. She’s been recovered safely and is back in the house.

I think she exited the house and then realized, “oh shit.” And then rather going back in the house (perhaps my dad had closed the door by then?) she hid underneath the deck for shelter. A bowl of food near the deck apparently lured her out, and then my dad spotted her and was able to coax her out from under the deck.
