Five Questions
by Grant Brisbee on Feb 17, 2012 7:06 PM PST

PrintFrom Henry Schulman, we have the annual five questions. He put these up weeks ahead of schedule trying to get the jump on the other beat writers who haven't even started to think about their five questions! Wily, wily Henry Schulman.
The five questions are as follows:
1. Will Buster Posey be an offensive force again?
2. Can the team score 700 runs?
3. Is this the year (Brandon Belt) emerges?
4. Will 2012 be the final year in San Francisco for Matt Cain and Barry Zito?
5. Will Brian Wilson's elbow hold up?
Gimme yes, no, yes, no, no on those. I'd truly like to believe that there's some sort of difference in the length of the leash the Giants will give Aubrey Huff this year compared to last year, and I'm almost coming around. I have trust issues with this team, though.
I still have no idea why they got Jose Vizcaino and Rey Sanchez to block Rich Aurilia, for example. I guess Aurilia was the original Belt, and that must mean Belt will be around in 2022, annoying us by starting over the prospect of the hour.

You'll get stabbed for even thinking negative thoughts about Rich Aurilia in my house
Its funny because f*** the dodgers
700 runs?
Yeah. Right. Why is that even a question?
The correct question is more along the lines of “Will the offense be as awful as last year.” And the answer is probably: “Almost.”

And also
I have doubts about Wilson’s health. Hopefully last year was not a foreshadowing of more serious issues to come.

They didn't even score 700 runs in 2010, when they had their best offensive season in what, 6 years?
Yeah, they ain’t even coming to close to 700.

I'm as tall as Mel. Why can't I hit 500 home runs?
Yeah, league average was 771 then. Last year it was 668. If that holds, to score 700 runs, they would have to be significantly above average offensively.

At least they’ll be better than the 1902 Giants! 405 runs in 141 games. 2.9 runs per game. Christy Mathewson went 14-17 and a 2.12 ERA.

It’s a pretty ugly line and it has been occurring rather often. I’d imagine having Carmelo Anthony return will help out in that category so Lin doesn’t have to do as much with the ball. Russell Westbrook is highly regarded and he leads the league with 4.4 turnovers a game.

The more difficult question to answer is which one will be higher at the end of the season: credit score or amount of runs scored by the Giants.

1. Buster Posey will be an offensive force again. The question is, in which year?
2. The team can score 700 runs, but only counting every trip to the bathroom on road trips as a ‘run’.
3. This is not the year Belt emerges, since he broke through already in the minors.
4. 2012 will be the final year in San Francisco for Matt Cain.
5. Brian Wilson’s elbow will not hold up.

Also:
1. Will Buster Posey be an offensive force again? Yes – hope like hell.
2. Can the team score 700 runs? LOL NO. I think it would be a miracle to get to 650.
3. Is this the year (Brandon Belt) emerges? Depending on what you mean by emerge. I think a .260/.350/.440 or so would be an emergence, but that would probably get him sent to Fresno cause LOL BATTING AVERAGE
4. Will 2012 be the final year in San Francisco for Matt Cain and Barry Zito? No
5. Will Brian Wilson’s elbow hold up? Yes. This is the only one I had to really think about, but Wilson himself has said he had to take better care to rest his elbow. So if he is aware of it, I think it can hold up. I am more worried about him striking out less people while walking more.

"I don’t know, just chuck it as hard as you can".-Buster Posey, on how to gun down stolen base attempts
I’d have almost all the same answers as Grant, so instead I’m going to make wild predictions. They will not come true, and some are contradictory. And yet, something almost as weird will happen, I’m sure of it.
1. Sandoval spends final two months catching twice a week after Giants pick Scott Rolen off waivers.
2. Johnny Damon is acquired in trade, and at least twice appears in CF with Pagan and Cabrera in the corners.
3. Tommy Joseph is traded for Paul Konerko after Aubrey Huff has a season ending injury in June. Konerko has a game winning hit in game 158, but his ground ball into a double play ends the Giants’ chance at a postseason berth in game 159.
4. Freddy Sanchez finishes the year with the most games played.
5. Jeremy Affledt has a surprising career change, as he turns in 130 innings passable starting pitching (98 ERA+) after being forced into the rotation as an emergency starter. That turnaround lands him a 3-year contract with the Giants in the offseason.
I'm as tall as Mel. Why can't I hit 500 home runs?
4. Freddy Sanchez finishes the year with the most games played.
Ugh. Now that I think about it, Melky is probably the second most likely candidate to finish with the most games played.

I promise not to argue incessantly about Brandon Crawford. Maybe.
1. I’m hoping like hell that he will
2. Only if Posey, Sandoval, and that Belt guy each have an MVP-worthy season
3. Bochy says yes, then a few days later creates a Huff/Pill platoon
4. I say that Cain gets an extension near the end of spring training. I think Zito stays after this year too, but I’m not ruling out the possibility of cutting him.
5. Once again, hoping like hell.
no
no

Although, “offensive force” is a subjective term. I think Posey will have a fine year, probably top 5 catchers in NL year, but that’s usually not what I would think of as an “offensive force”. “Offensive force” = .900 OPS? /shrug
"offensive force"
is the kind of thing writers put in when they don’t want to commit to something specific. It doesn’t mean anything.

I still like Stephen Hill as a dark horse candidate. Played in a run heavy offense but managed to average 29 yards a catch

I honestly don’t think he makes it to the third round, he’s kind of an unknown cause he was in the run heavy O but he has physical gifts and I think the coaching staff could help him with skills he may be lacking. I just have a good feeling about him.

Yeah, that’s about what I imagined. I like that he can block because a lot of our receivers will be doing some of that. I think his hands would improve given he is passed to a bit more, but really like what they say about his leaping ability. He won’t need a ton of speed if he can just outreach his defender.
That’s what the niners thought about Ziegler…didn’t work out too well….considering both players are kidna lanky

Zeigler was even smaller than Hill though, I think Hill has 20 pounds on him. Also Hill can probably still put some muscle on his frame, I don’t think he’s even 21 yet.
Oh crap, you’re right. I thought Zeigler was at least 195

Nah, tall but pretty thin. Might’ve gotten more of a chance if he hadn’t torn his ACL, but I think he was a 3rd option at best. I think Hill has a chance at being a good number 2 receiver or maybe even a number 1, but I might be over-estimating him.
AT BEST!

Plenty of money before resigning everyone. The number is somewhere around 30MM right now. They still need to resign Alex, Goldson (no one better on the roster/FA), Rogers, Snyder, Brooks (optional), Ginn (LOL NFCCG), and that’s all I can think of off the top of my head

30 Million is a shit ton in the NFL
the only guy they have to worry about re-signing is Rogers. Goldson will be franchised, Alex isn’t going anywhere, Ginn will be cheap. If somebody wants to bid up Snyder, they have Kilgore and/or Person to take that spot. Not ideal, but given their acumen at finding starters late in the draft I’m willing to trust those guys can handle it.
That leaves plenty of money to make a splash at the position of most glaring need.

I said this before somewhere, but the player would be a luxury that would possibly make our D one of the greatest of all time. Mario Williams anyone? Yeah yeah, not gonna happen, and it’s not logical when we have bigger holes (WR, FS, OG, CB)
But, how about trying to sign Carl Nicks (OG, NO)? Would solidify the right side of the OL

not true
leonard davis got 7/49 million a few years ago. The market has gone up since then. Niners won’t pay that kind of money to a position where they have 2 young players already. It’s not about having THE BEST at any one position, it’s about value. I’m not sure Nicks’ upgrade is worth the money it would cost overall.

Nicks is going to be insanely expensive. Leonard Davis, who sucks, got 7/49 mil a few years ago from the Cowboys. The Guard market has only gone up, and I can’t see them spending that much on a position where they just drafted 2 dudes and kept them around all year.

Free iPhone/iPad app too this year
as someone mentioned in another thread. I just go my renewal notice and am glad for the $15 bucks savings or whatever it was.
There are many things I gripe about concerning MLB but MLB.TV and the apps certainly aren’t one of them. Now, if I can just convince MLB that I don’t simultaneously live in Phoenix and Denver and that I still wouldn’t buy a ticket to either game whether it was blacked out or not because they are both about 500 miles away from me… It’s like blacking out Atlanta games in NYC because they could just drive to the game every night.
The blackout rules are so fucked up
for awhile I would get blacked out of SF/MIL games and I live in NORTH DAFUCKING KOTA. 8 hours away from Milwaukee.

I feel your pain. It’s like they didn’t even try to think about blackout rules between California and Missouri. If they would let everyone in Utah watch both Rockies and Dbacks, you would think there would be more MLB fans in general here. But no. Lets not let them see the games nor be close enough to go to a game. Stupid.
I’m just glad they haven’t realized that the two biggest fan groups in this state are probably Giants and Dodgers. I only get mad with the Giants play Rockies/Dbacks.
no
we get FSN north, the Twins’ channel. I get why Twins games are blacked out. The MIL games aren’t anymore, it was just one weird year where they were and it was like WTF

It is more about the extra features that come with it. IPhone, iPad..etc.. I always buy Gameday Audio anyways for $20, so it’s like I am only spending a little over $100 for everything.
The ONLY part that will suck is day games. I always DVR’d day games and watched them after work. Now I won’t be able to do that.

Despite being my favorite character, the two seasons where McNulty is de-emphasized are probably the two best. Even in season three he isn’t as prominent as in 1 and 5.
are you arguing season 3 over season 2?
Andre Ethier: Gross-o-Matic 5000
-Adopted Giant: Dan Runzler
LIES
Season 2 presents such a tight story. the characters evolve and come to resolution all within the given arc. Who doesn’t remember Ziggy, and yet he received a quarter of the screen time compared to a great deal of characters. The stevedores were brilliantly synthesized, and from an angle that I’d never seen before. It was quite inspired. Season 3, great as was, ‘only’ continued the street crime Barxdale story. That story, while fantastic, is one that has been told before. Season 2 stands out because it has the intensity of a crime drama but with the rumble of something new.

Not only did it continue the street crime stuff it resolved 2+ seasons worth of story and setup the rest of the series. Plus, Hamsterdam is just damn interesting. I won’t criticize someone who prefers 2 to 3, but I personally mark 2 down for being such a big detour, even if it did have a long-term impact. It was pretty great, of course, as is most of The Wire (I think we can all agree that season 5 had some letdowns).
I loved season 5 as well
I understand that some people hated it. I also understand their reasons. But I thought it worked. It can be my least favorite season and still be awesome.

I feel bad for him, but I’m also sorely disappointed in him. He was one of my favorite players. I think someone needs to sit him down and show him all the clips of what he did before compared to what he’s currently doing and discuss it. Take him to the court and have him practice what he used to do….and for the love of God fix his shooting mechanics.

If that were the case, we should’ve amnesty him. What’s that? We already used the Amnesty Clause on someone? Who the hell did we use it on? CHARLIE BELL!?! We wasted the amnesty on a 4 million dollar expiring contract. Not just that, if we REALLY wanted to screw over the Clippers with Deandre Jordan…we should have amnestied Biedrins…and you know ALSO HAD THAT CONTRACT OFF THE BOOKS! Geez…you would think they had Common Sense

I’m not sure about this, but they must not have been able to make a bid on Jordan unless they had the cap space already free. Amnestying Biedrins would have left us without a center (though Kwame was a bit of a surprise before he tore his chest muscle). If this isn’t the case though, then yes it was really stupid.
NO SHIT
that’s why so many people are pissed, we didn’t amnesty him, amnestied Bell to get Jordan, it was bullshit. Their front office was clueless, and quite frankly Lacob has way too much power, and i like that he has “fan” in him, but seriously, leave the decision making to “BOB MYERS” and get larry riley the hell out of there

Here’s the thing, if we amnestied Biedrins and wound up striking out on DJ, we would have done two things, screwed over the Clippers cap even more. And more importantly, still have enough cap to make good offers to Marc Gasol or Nene.
"It is not enough that we win; all others must lose" -Larry Ellison
"I come up with something when I’ve got nothing, and it’s always brilliant. Always. So I reject your logic." -Grant
But also Jordan is not even close to your answer at center. And you basically have the perfect scenario in having enough cap space to go after Gasol or Nene… but you have to throw extra money at em… Point is, is CURRY your PG for the future??? O_O

video Ray Rotto's first report from spring training (CSN Bay Area)
Ratto predicts Buster Posey will be the biggest story of the season. He says the Giants will try and gauge how much strain Posey will be able to take behind the dish during spring training. Most importantly, the Giants will want to see if Posey’s knee will effect his hitting at all because “you hit with your legs first”.

Bruce Bochy on 95.7 The Game
Bochy says Belt, Crawford, Pill, Nate, and Freddy are the position players who have shown up early to spring training early. Pitchers and catchers are mandatory, and Pablo has been in the area training. Bochy says Posey will take it easy on catching games at the start of spring training season, possibly taking a few days off at a time, then his work load will start to increase around the midpoint. He’ll DH on days he’s not behind the dish so he can continue to get at bats. Bochy isn’t concerned about Posey’s timing at the plate because he has a unique “ability to adjust on the fly” to any pitch as well as having a “great eye at the plate”. He believes it will only take a “few at bats” for Posey to get his hitting back. Posey has been “driving the ball” in batting practice. Bochy doesn’t foresee any issues with Posey’s hitting “because of the talent he is”.
According to Bochy, Brian Wilson is where they want him to be in the rehab process. Bochy watched him throw 40 pitches, including breaking balls, in a bullpen session the day before. Although he doesn’t see Wilson pitching a game until March 10th or 11th. The Giants plan on being careful with Wilson. Bochy says he needs “a lot of work” in spring training. Bochy also says he needs to “put a leash” on Wilson to regulate his pitching work.
Pill, Belt, and Huff will be getting work at 1st base and left field. Bochy already has a “pretty good idea” of the outfield alignment. Freddy Sanchez is throwing at 140 feet and isn’t expected to play in a game till the “second week” of spring training games. Bochy has special concern for Freddy.
Bochy would like to say right field is Nate’s job but he’s leaving open the possibility that Belt or Pill could “get locked in” and “do a lot of things with the bat” and force themselves into the starting lineup.
Two of Belt, Pill, and Huff could “catch fire” and into the starting lineup and one could become “more of a role player”.
Nate “came a long way with the bat last season, showing power” as well as speed and defense. In response to a question about the value of spring training performance at the plate in determining the roster decisions, Bochy says “you can get fooled” by good hitting when pitchers aren’t prepared. He says “for the most part, you’re set” on a ball club roster and the starters before going into spring training. As for Belt, Pill, and Huff, Bochy says he’ll wait until later in spring training to determine what will be done with them. He’ll be watching for “approach, quality of AB’s, how they play defensively”.
One thing Bochy really wants the team to improve on for next season is the quality of the defense. How Brett Pill can handle left field will also be important.

It’s also BS. Unless he thinks Melky, Pagan, and Nate are also in the competition. I don’t see Huff, Belt and Pill in a competition for LF starter.
It’s looking less and less likely that Belt even makes the team. Gotta have that RH option in Pill to platoon with Huff! Maybe an injury or drug test failure will help fix the team like it did in 2010.
Not surprised.
The organization knows more than we do, after all. Just hope like hell. It’s the only viable option at thi spoint.

Today's Weather - Saturday edition
A low near the Gulf Coast may cause severe weather from central Louisiana to southern Alabama and the Florida panhandle. To the north, a huge mass of rain is moving northward across the Deep South. Another area of convection is firing up in central Texas at this hour.
Lake effect snow will make for a cold, blustery day around the Great Lakes. Northern New England will see some light snow, though temps along the Atlantic coast will stay in the 40s.
The upper Plains and southern Rockies will see a nice, clear day. Sunny skies stretching from Montana and North Dakota south and west into Arizona.
Heavy snow is possible today in the interior of the Pacific Northwest. Lighter snow showers will develop this afternoon as far south as the Sierras.
Our pick city today is Phoenix, Arizona, Jeremy Affeldt’s hometown. Sunny with a high of 70.
