Quick Lineup Thread

PrintHere's what MLB Depth Charts thinks the Giants' lineup will be:
1 CF Angel Pagan
2 LF Melky Cabrera
3 3B Pablo Sandoval
4 C Buster Posey
5 1B Aubrey Huff
6 RF Nate Schierholtz
7 2B Freddy Sanchez
8 SS Brandon Crawford
Your task: to come up with a lineup of your own using all available parts. My attempt ...
1. Angel Pagan - CF
2. Brandon Belt - 1B
3. Pablo Sandoval - 3B
4. Buster Posey - C
5. Melky Cabrera - LF
6. Nate Schierholtz - RF
7. Freddy Sanchez - 2B
8. Brandon Crawford/Mike Fontenot - SS
Well, that was fun. The best part about Melky Cabrera hitting fifth is that Melky Cabrera is hitting fifth. Whatever. The first at-bat of the 2010 season was taken by leadoff hitter Aaron Rowand, so I suppose we shouldn't pay too much attention to this sort of stuff.

I mean, I went to grade school in Tiburon; the peninsula is its own kind of out there, but more in a “who the fuck pays you assholes $200,000+ a year, you couldn’t find your ass with two hands and a map” kind of way.

there’s a fire road trail I’ve been exploring over the past month or so and hypothetically, one could take it all the way out to the Marin Headlands, though that would probably take awhile.

Hiking the fire roads on Tam is bloody miserable, in my experience.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
the one I’ve been doing isn’t actually on Tam, it’s off the road to Muir Beach. Connects with Green Gulch Trail and you can get to the Tennessee Valley trail from there as well. I don’t know if it has a name.

The main issue on Tam is uphill and downhill, so if it’s relatively flat I can buy that it’d be feasible.
Ever hike Ring Mountain?

If you hike all the way to the top (or cheat and take Taylor Rd off Paradise), you get a 270º panorama of the bay. Not the most scenic hike, but it’s lightly traveled and has a good payoff. Can be a bit muddy sometimes, though, so it’s best to travel after it’s been dry for a spell.

We like Cataract Falls in Fairfax. The hike is a little steep, but has several waterfalls and is just so beautiful.

I feel like this will be the optimum lineup, but we will only see it about 30 times; you know how this team is.
I’m also not convinced this is how it will be, because after Buster Posey it’s all HERE THERE BE LEFTIES. So, I guess it’s conceivable that they let Melky bat second, move the order up, and drop Freddy to 7th just to keep things broken up, but who knows.

You know, people keep comparing Lin and Tebow, but they’re pretty much exactly the opposite of each other. You could make a pretty solid case that Tebow has gotten every single chance to start, regardless of failures, at every level at a position that he has clearly inadequate skills for because, well, he represents the feature demographic of this country. Which is about as opposite of Lin’s situation as you can get.

Yeah, I don’t get the comparisons. Tebow was a first round pick, Lin un drafted. Tebow played in his first year, Lin was in the D Leagues. Tebow doesn’t have the skill to play the position he plays in a traditional manner, Lin does (I think). Tebow was hyped before and after he performed horribly. Lin was only hyped after he had a monster 4 game stretch.

Why does this attractive*, Christian white male keep getting so many opportunities to succeed?

But, I mean, all the stuff you said is clearly more immediate to the comparison. I only repeat myself because I’m only just understanding one of the things that has bothered me about Tebow’s situation that I had not previously been able to put to words. His situation (not he himself, mind you, which is the line i try not to cross in the Tebow talk) represents in a lot of ways the NFL’s continued white QB bias. That bothers me on a deeper level, I think, than most of the more in-your-face aspects of the hype.
Once more, coming to you by proxy.
by howtheyscored on Feb 13, 2012 9:53 AM PST up reply actions
At some point we’re going to need to acknowledge that the mostly white media is going to have a conscious or unconscious bias towards white celebrities and athletes, especially given the perception that whites are the majority in the United States. This is not to say that it isn’t problematic in certain situations, but I think it’s equally problematic to assume or assign intent or maliciousness when it simply may not be the case.
I don’t think I’m assuming intent or malice here. A lot of this racial stuff is totally passive, and I would argue, for instance, with Lin’s situation, that the apparent racism that’s held him back in his basketball life—assuming he’s not actually a terrible player masquerading as one who merits playing time—has been almost entirely passive. Good, well-intentioned people do this stuff all the time without necessarily making them any less good or well-intentioned.
But I do feel that it’s important to recognize and contextualize the thing as a problem (and, I’d argue, as rather a big one), which I don’t see as mutually exclusive with acknowledging or even accepting the fact of it. Progress—even slow, perpetually incomplete social progress—doesn’t get done by saying, “That’s just the way it is.”

OBP is the most important thing, and Belt's got that in spades
He’s an intelligent baserunner, which is also useful, and it’s not like he’s Bengie Molina; I’m willing to take whatever reduction in speed there might be to get Belt more at-bats.

In a world where Belt plays everyday
Then a 2-3-4 of Belt, Buster, Pablo would be pretty good. As it is, I really doubt it matters much whether Buster hits in front of Panda or after him.

I'd have him bat second
Why should he bat third? He’s clearly one of the three best hitters on the team, so he should bat 1st, 2nd, or 4th. I’d put Cabrera third.
I'd rather the have faster guy (Panda) in front of the slower guy (Posey)
Assuming their bats are pretty equal
Bold Prediction: Pablo Sandoval finishes 1st or 2nd in 2012 NL MVP voting. I'm Twittering now (well maybe not literally now): @GoofusMcP
Freddy has to bat second, doesn't he?

If they could have held on to Webber they wouldn’t have needed to trade for Jamison. Then you might have been adding Arenas to a core of Webber and Carter in their prime. ‘01-’05 would have been a lot of fun.

You know, I kind of get this. I mean, I think it’s wrong… But now that TLR, Bobby Cox, Joe Torre, and Terry Francona are out of the game, there’s sort of a shortage of “name” guys. And Bochy did absolutely embarrass Washington in the WS. I guess what I’m saying is that if you pulled an average, casual fan off the street, there’s a good chance Bochy might be his pick. And if he weren’t able to do any research, it wouldn’t be entirely dumb.

This quote from 2008 showed Bill Neukom had class:
The Seattle Times May 22, 2008:
But just wait until the Giants make their first bad trade or rotten free-agent signing. Neukom knows he’ll bear the brunt of the criticism. Indeed, the era of accountability has already begun since he was introduced last week.
“I’ve already seen some of the blogs,” Neukom said. "People are jumping to unjustified conclusions based on the wrong information. I’m sure there will be criticism, some deserved, some not.
“It comes with the job, and I’m prepared to take criticism and deflect credit. The Giants become successful, it will not be because of me, as much as a strong baseball group.”
I wonder what blogs he was referring to. I guess we’ll never know.
The Tejada pickup was bad, but not really his fault. Neukom had the balls to dump him and Rowand last season at the risk of backlash from the other owners. He paid the price. He was a true fan of the team.

If Belt is “the future” 1st baseman and “middle of the order” bat for the Giants, he shouldn’t be platooned. If Huff is hitting, he should play left field full time. Pill should only be a bench player. Nate should work on playing center field and should be the full time 4th outfielder unless he outperforms Cabrera or Pagan during the season.
That’s my view on things. I’ll go with Grant’s lineup for now because Huff sucked really bad last season.

by Grant_ME_MERCY on Feb 12, 2012 11:50 PM PST up reply actions
i joke. But i agree, if they see Belt as the long term answer at 1st, you don’t have him riding shotgun there you have to start him and let him do the rest. Every player is going to go through slumps, point is, have him play the position or don’t, don’t yo-yo him. If Huff is hitting, then yea, have him play in left, even though i’m not a fan of it, but it’d be good to get his bat in the lineup.
Pill should definitely only be a bench player, and if Nate could adjust to center, that’d be sweet, more options plus another bat to add to the lineup.

if you are looking to burn
the legs are the best place to do it. they require a lot of calories to heal because of the size. just make sure to mix up the workouts so your body does’t get adjusted. You will see results pretty fast as long as you keep your caloric intake nice and decently high with mediocre fat intake. The worst thing you can do is trick your body into thinking it’s starving while still working out.

Most likely. With Panik, the Giants like having those top picks close at hand, and it also makes sense to some degree because Culberson will probably be in AA again this year. I suppose where Adrianza is playing could have some impact, but A+ seems most likely for Panik.

Disagree
Like all form of government/society, it believes that certain parts of human nature can dominate over other parts.
Communism believes that people can set aside their selfish needs for the betterment of the collective. Capitalism on the other hand believes that human selfishness is the driving force behind a better society.

Tough Call
I think Belt at 1B and Huff in LF. Belt seems to have a really good handle on 1B defense, like tough throws and grounders. Huff has always seemed OK at it, but not as good as a lot of 1B out there. There are tough plays at any position, obviously, but LF strikes me as less demanding overall.
I’m just hoping Huff really does come into the season with a better approach, so he’s not disastrous at the plate, regardless where he’s put in the field.

Dude, those guys were LEFTIES. It’s like comparing apples and ostriches.
At least we haven’t extended Wilson so far.
They have closer experience.
Which can’t be taught. Of course, the only way to gain closer experience is to be a closer, but you can’t do that in the middle of a pennant race. And, given that it will only take 400 runs scored to win the NL West, the Giants will be in a lot of close games. Therefore, it would be irresponsible and insulting to the fanbase to hand over closer duties to a kid with no experience.
I predict Casilla will get hurt
And we’ll want them to bring up Hembree, but they’ll bring up Edelfsen, who will suck, and then eventually they will bring up Hembree

That could happen. Or they could call up Hembree before he’s ready, throw him into some high-leverage situations, he flails and struggles and can’t throw strikes, they send him down but his confidence is shattered and his mechanics are a mess and he still can’t throw strikes, he suffers a couple of nagging injuries, loses velocity, bounces up and down between Fresno and SF for a couple of years, and then they use him as a throw-in on a stretch-drive trade for Derek Lowe.
I'm gonna kind of hope
that he comes up and is dominant and makes the Giants fanbase get over Brian Wilson a little so that the front office doesn’t feel like they have to give him $15 mil a year.

San Francisco’s pitching staff was so good that the Giants won 86 games despite scoring an NL-low 570 runs — one of only two teams with a winning record while scoring fewer than 600 runs in the past two decades — and the replacement catchers provided little offense.

probably not a very good comp. Be it steroids, juiced baseball, or whatever else you want to call it. It is sort of a selective endpoint comparison. I would say the two decades moving forward will be a better indicator of just how abnormal last season was.

Pill and Brown played a couple of innings in the CSF Alumni game.
But eighteen current and former pros, mainly minor leaguers, played in the game. Turner scored the games first-run when Danny Dorn singled him in. San Francisco Giants’ top prospect Gary Brown patrolled the outfield for a few innings.
"Its always a good time. It’s my second time doing it and being able to hang out with the old friends again and meeting the other Titans, there’s a lot of guys this year," said Brown on his time out with the former players.

It is pretty racist
but censorship is never the answer.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – A Belgian court has rejected an application to ban a colonial-era book about the Congolese adventures of cartoon character Tintin for breaching racism laws, court documents showed.
Brussels’ court of first instance said it did not believe the 1946 edition of “Tintin in the Congo” was intended to incite racial hatred, a criteria when deciding if something breaks Belgium’s racism laws. The decision was issued late on Friday.

Also it shows that Han is smart enough not to let the ass who wants his head have a chance to take it.

It's Passan but interesting
Already the Mets are 4½ months late paying back a $25 million loan MLB extended to them in November 2010. They took another $40 million from Bank of America due next month. The best-case scenario for Selig is that Wilpon’s mound of debt collapses his ownership and forces him to sell – almost a certainty if Picard wins his suit.
Should Wilpon avoid payment in the Madoff case, the $200 million in minority ownership could stabilize the Mets in the short term – and considering the lengths to which Wilpon has gone to retain his position, he may find a way to weasel out of the cash-flow shortage coming from the expected drying up of revenue.

A Long Time Ago… a story was told that sparked a fire in many hearts. To fan that flame, we have created the Golden Gate Knights, a San Francisco Bay Area group that offers experienced instruction in saber choreography. With our classes, you will become an expert at saber choreography, spins, flourishes and a whole lot more.
Run by a real-life fight choreographer and a dude who just really likes Star Wars (so clearly at some point he needed to learn to fight), GGK is an honest-to-Anakin lightsaber academy that holds weekly classes in a SOMA back-alley studio, where you’ll learn how to correctly wield Jedi weaponry and recreate actual Episodic fight scenes, so bring an extra hand.

CHANCELLOR: “On that little card? That’s hard to believe. Amazing.”
BRINKLEY: “The youth vote is proving crucial in this election. Older voters and baseball writers are solidly aligned with the RBI Party. But younger voters are coming out in droves for the Saber ticket. And that could prove to be the turning point for the ‘Nah’ vote, especially with Aubrey Huff and Melky Cabrera considered stalwarts of the lineup. Back up to John Chancellor and Chet Huntley in the booth.”
HUNTLEY: “What an election day this is turning out to be. Don’t go anywhere. Polls are yet to close in California, Nevada, Washington and Oregon, so things could change. But as of now, as you just heard, it appears the Giants will not score runs in the upcoming season.”

I don’t care where they hit. I just want the Giants to be real about Huff. If he can hit like 2010, then he plays. If he is not above the halfway of 2010 and 2011, then he needs to be sat or shipped off.
My desired depth chart
1. Belt- No matter what
2. Huff- Only if he hits
3. Nate- He can still get 400-500 AB on this team. Best PH we have had in a long time too.

I think the Giants are willing to settle when it comes to veterans. They probably don’t need a performance equal to his 2010, just better than his 2011.
I’m confused. So cepedas will be a free agent after 4 years, but what about service time rules?
Kickham where it hurts
CAUTION: I have no idea what I’m talking about. With that said, I think what happened is that service time rules and arbitration and all that are rights of the team, and the team has the right to concede that if they so choose. I think that it’s a part of his contract that states that the normal service time rules don’t apply, and he’s a free agent at the end of the contract.

Yeah, I always try to catch a game there. It’s actually my first choice of places I want to see the Giants play each Spring. But I’m limited to Friday – Monday games because I take my kids and don’t want them to miss more than one day of school. This year there are two Giants games there, but one is too early in the Spring (March 4) and the other is too late (April 1).
I did go to a game there a few years ago—wait, I remember now… It was 2004. I remember because I got into what I can only describe as kind of a weird stare-down thing with A.J. Pierzynski. My sons and I were sitting right behind the Giants dugout. Pierzynski was out in the on-deck circle getting ready to lead off, and sort of looking around at the people sitting behind the dugout. I was looking at him, probably with a not very pleasant expression on my face (maybe because this conversation was still on my mind).
Well, Pierzynski locks eyes with me, and it’s like he can feel the waves of disapproval coming off me. And he just starts staring me down, leading to the following exchange, which happened COMPLETELY WITH OUR EYES:
PIERZYNSKI’S EYES: “What are you looking at? You want some of this??”
MY EYES: “You bet I do, Pierzynski! I don’t sweat you!!”
PIERZYNKI’S EYES: “Oh yeah? Well, eye-talk is cheap big boy! Let’s just see if you’ve got the stones to jump over that railing and come after me!”
MY EYES: “Well, you know what? I just might have to! And trust me, YOU DON’T WANT THAT, PIERZYNSKI!!”
PIERZYNSKI’S EYES: “Well then what are you waiting for?? Make your move, Sally!”
MY EYES (looking away): “…yeah, well… I probably would… if I weren’t here with my kids… and if you weren’t holding a baseball bat…”
I’m actually glad I didn’t respond to Pierzynski’s visual goading. We ended up getting three foul balls given to us by the Brewers’ third base coach that game. That probably doesn’t happen had I entered the field of play because “Pierzynski’s eyes told me to”.
Thank you Edgar Renteria, for hitting the ball three feet higher.

This made me laugh.
It got to the point where I didn’t really go to games at Scottsdale Stadium anymore. Between price and the scarcity of tickets I decided to just watch them play elsewhere.

Yeah, this has become my approach too. But if I go for a long weekend, I usually end up catching one game at Scottsdale. Not sure if I’ll be doing that anymore…

I can definitely understand that for someone just visiting really quickly. Since I no longer live in Phoenix I’ll probably be forced to do the same as you.

I do have to say that the intimacy of watching major leaguers play in minor league size stadiums and in the relaxed environment of ST is pretty spectacular. Last year was my first ST and I loved it. I also thought that there was real and relative value in comparison to what I pay here in San Francisco. I would take a mid-week ST game in Scottsdale every day over a 56 degree tuesday nighter against the Bucs in July at ATT.
ST is one of the very few things I miss about Phoenix.
Proud parent of SD-born Shane Loux.
If Cain is with us, who can be against us? - atxgiantsfan
Agree completely
But I’m cursed a little bit with being old enough to remember when Spring Training was way more intimate and way more cheap. I remember in 1983 going to a Giants game against the Angels in Palm Springs where I felt like the only people watching the game were scouts and the players’ family members. I was sitting behind Darrel Evans’ mom. Even in the ’90’s living in Orlando, going to Astros games every year in Kissimmee was a lot cheaper and much less of a mob scene.
It’s still special, though, and definitely worth the trip out to Phoenix my kids and I take every year.
Thank you Edgar Renteria, for hitting the ball three feet higher.
That’s how the rookie league is. Even the AFL has more people than it used to but it’s still pretty empty. My first rookie league game I felt like I had to whisper because the only sounds are those of the game.

I went to a SJ Giants/Ports game like that last year. There were 3 people in my whole section, including me. I could hear the players talking in the dugout, which means they could hear me.

This is the line I am in. Lived in Mesa/Tempe/Chandler from 1978 to 1983. Before you start with the LOLD comments, I could get an actual seat at Spring Training games for $5 bucks. Not the grass, an actual seat. The Cubs outdrew the Giants every year.
I have yet to make it back for Spring Training, but it is on the list. At the current pricing, I guess I need to save a little more.

As tributes to the late star continued at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, fans on Twitter noticed a sly price-increase on Whitney Houston albums on iTunes. ‘Whitney – The Greatest Hits’ is currently sitting at No. 2 on the iTunes US Chart, while ‘Whitney Houston – The Ultimate Collection’ is No. 2 on the UK iTunes chart. The latter album was initially offered at a price of 4.99, but increased by three-pound to 7.99 once news of her death began circulating.

On Monday, The Orchard announced a deal with Digonex Technologies Inc., a company that gathers sales data, analyzes purchasing behavior and sets new prices that, according to its Web site, hit the “sweet spot” where consumer demand and market potential meet.
“We use our science to systematically decrease the price,” says Jan Eglen, the CEO of Digonex. “We find the exact moment and the exact price that the people are willing to pay. That’s the sweet spot.”
Digonex has an algorithm that factors in how many songs are being sold and how often they sell to calculate how much to charge.

as the old story goes, two brothers fighting over one girl, built Dwinelle and never talked to each other.
I went to a commencement ceremony a few years back, the Linguistics professor who gave the talk, which was really funny, described how to give directions to his office in Dwinelle. It was funny, ridiculous and true.

No no you’re right, it’s like a halfway floor. But the fifth floor on one side of the building is the fifth floor, on the other side it’s E. So you’re in the 5000s in Dwinelle, but it’s floor E. Then to get to the classrooms you go up a short flight of stairs and you’re on the fourth floor, classrooms in the 200s i believe.
I love Dwinelle. It’s my favorite building on campus.
In one part of the building, on the top floor, there is a nice lecture hall with a cafe (!) outside it. I never had any clue it existed until I attended a talk there once.

I find this quote hilarious
With an ever-increasing payroll, it would seem difficult for the Phillies to find room to sign Cole Hamels to a lucrative new deal. However, team president David Montgomery told Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer that he is confident that a deal can be reached.
“I don’t think it’s difficult,” said Montgomery. “We’ve let [Hamels] know we’re anxious to have him stay here. Cole enjoys it here…It’ll probably come down to what we think is an appropriate length and what they think. You try to minimize risk by not going longer than necessary. And a player is looking for as much security as he can get. It’s an equation that takes time to hopefully get worked out.”
After all the guys RAJ signed to ridiculous contracts, Hamels is the one the Phillies should be cautious about.

If you’re going to correct me, you should at least try to get your fundamental premise right.
You can deactivate search histories, use 3rd party GPS accounts, stay logged out of your accounts or potentially even use puppet accounts.
And they still don’t sell your information; they will just cross-reference it across accounts. If you didn’t want Google to know that you’re looking at porn on the subway, why did you get an Android phone in the first place?

GPS

It constantly sends out signals and locates where you are. Same goes for Wifi and Bluetooth.

I did notice that iPhone was the only 3G on the list.
But on a side note, do any of those specs, faster processor, bigger display, more Ram, do any of them give you added utility you’d be willing to pay for?
Apple chose to direct their battery power to Siri rather than marginally upgrade processing specs. In an effort tp add a new dimmension of utility.
GIANTS BASEBALL: HOPE LIKE HELL!
Siri is ok I guess. I thought it was dumb that they released an entire “new” phone over it though. I’m sure the iPhone 5 will have cooler better specs until the next Android phone has cooler better specs, etc…

It’s really difficult to gauge how he’ll be. A part of me says he’s a headcase because of this past season, but he would be playing at home. I would love Bowe, but I have a feeling the Chiefs are going to franchise him. Stevie Johnson is interesting mostly because he completely owned Revis this past year, AND he’s from SF

I would also consider Meachem, Lloyd and perhaps even Wallace, though he’s an RFA.

It’s a substitute Speech Language Pathology Assistant job up in Roseville about 3-5 miles of where we were wanting to buy a house. They are holding the position for me until Friday, if I can’t get clearance by then I lose the job (on top of everything else, at least working would keep me distracted and purposeful).
It’s really dumb too cuz if I had been working at the time I’m pretty sure no doctor would have given me a note to miss work unless it was for surgery, but I can’t get anyone to give me note to start work. Even though I’m sitting home twiddling my fingers or at the gym working out.
