Should Daniel Murphy Make The Team?
Terry Collins listed Daniel Murphy as one of the four "legitimate guys" who might man second base next season. Brad Emaus, Justin Turner and Luis Castillo were also named, while Ruben Tejada was notably omitted. Murphy is mentioned by most as a strong bet to make the team in some capacity. Many...
The 25-Man Roster
Rosterbation, fancy table-style: Points: Andrew Baggarly wrote that Sergio Santos was acquired to play short for Fresno because Burriss is staying with the big club, so I’m comfortable with Burriss in the "almost certainly"-column. His .407/.458/.463 line is probably helping his...
Andy Marte
If you had any interest in Andy Marte, you've probably already visited this FanShot, which means that there really isn't a need for a front-page post on him. But you know what? I think in all fairness, I should tell you exactly what it is that I do. For instance, in the morning, I'll get up and...
Dan Uggla
Dan Uggla is a second baseman. Dan Uggla is about to get expensive. Dan Uggla plays for a team that likes to exchange "about to get expensive" for "not expensive." Dan Uggla is a middle-of-the-order hitter who is under team control for the next three years. I can't stop thinking ab...you get the...
Manny Ramirez and the San Francisco Giants: Let's chat about it for the first time!
There's a threat to the solidarity of the anti-Manny faction. Manny at four years? Bah. Flimshaw. Don't make me pull out my list of Hall-of-Famers who disintegrated in their late-30s. That kind of commitment is a gamble the Giants shouldn't take. Manny at three years? More of the same arguments,...
The Not-So-Great 25th-Man Debate of Aught-Nine
From Extra Baggs: I’m hearing that the Giants still consider Aurilia their top option for a right-handed bench player, above other names on the board like Kevin Millar or Ty Wigginton. Unless a trade happens that changes the structure of the roster, I’d expect Aurilia will return on a...
What the San Francisco Giants Won't Do
There are, oh, about 40 days until spring training starts. By this time of year, the free agent market is usually set, but there are still a ton of teamless folks out there. What will the Giants do? My attempt at breaking down the possibilities: The Giants will do nothing; this is the roster,...
It's Official! Manny Ramirez Might Sign With the San Francisco Giants! Maybe!
The anti-Manny faction has been a little misconstrued, methinks. Here's a better representation: I’m firmly in the middle, which is a faction that doesn't get a lot of time on KNBR. I can’t imagine Manny Ramirez clomping around the outfield for four years, helping the Giants win...
The Giants and Orlando Hudson, Take Two
Pablo Sandoval at third? Okay. I’ll pretend that I’m not worried about his defense and hope for the best. The Giants need to get his bat in the lineup, and if they aren’t trading Bengie Molina, third base is where the opening is. Travis Ishikawa at first? Okay. I’ll pretend...
