rosterbation Stories - McCovey Chronicles
Free Agent Dreams
With the recent news that the Sharks will not be resigning Scott Nichol or Jamal Mayers, and some hints from Doug Wilson that Ian White may not be back either, the time has come to start thinking about what additions the San Jose Sharks can make during the off-season to help take the team to the...
It's Rosterbation Time Again! What Do You Want The Canucks' 2011-12 Roster To Look Like?
For those of you who are not familiar with the term "rosterbation" it basically means creating your idea of what you would like to see the Canucks' roster look like for the upcoming season. Is there a player you dream of having on the squad? Rosterbate away! Unfortunately this type of "sin" has a...
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...
Maggette traded to Bucks; more Warriors players on the move?
I know what the Warriors are doing, but what are the Bucks thinking? Why don't they understand that Corey Maggette is a final piece, not a building block? Why don't they understand that an isolation scorer-only type won't mesh with Scott Skiles's style unless something major changes? The most...
The Ghost of Bobcats Future Trades
At this early stage of the season, there are only a couple teams that are completely and totally out of the playoff picture: the New Jersey Nets and Sacramento Kings. Every other team's fans can entertain wild-eyed dreams of playoff basketball. Can we benefit from their situations? First, the Nets....
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...
