Community Projections: Aaron Rowand
(Constructing a preseason scenario in which the 2009 Giants make the playoffs) still requires some imagination, but you don't need to break laws of nature to get there. Let's see, Matt Cain takes a huge step forward (25% chance of happening), Aaron Rowand rebounds substantially (25%), Pablo...
Rowand for Bradley: The idea that just won't die
I've worked with some real freaks. I've trained a woman who, when the mouse reached the bottom of the mousepad, could not continue working until someone helped her figure out what to do. I worked with a person who ate peanuts constantly, chewed with her mouth open, and did it while asking you a...
Community Projection: Aaron Rowand
One of the most irritating things about being a Giants fan right now is that we’re guilty by association. Guilty of thinking stupid things, that is. For example, typing something like this: Man, that Rowand contract seems silly, but hopefully he can give us a couple of good...
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,...
Front and Center
This offseason has been a pleasant surprise. The Giants had a gaping hole at shortstop, and the ostensible solution was just a year removed from A-ball. The bullpen needed a couple of arms. The rotation was 80% set, but an additional starter with upside wouldn’t have hurt. There was a huge...
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...
C.C. Sabathia, Part XVII
From the L.A. Times: The official said the Giants are interested in CC Sabathia, the ace pitcher who grew up in the Bay Area. The official would not confirm whether the Giants had offered a contract to Sabathia but said they would need to make other moves before they could sign him. While I'm not...
San Francisco Giants Rumors, both Real and Invented
Sometime in January, when all of the free agents have been signed, I’ll sit down to write a post and start crying. I won’t want to write about Atlee Hammaker memories. I won’t want to write about how cool Donruss Diamond Kings were. I won’t want to write a 14,000-word Lord...
San Francisco Giants: Offseason Outlook, Part XVIILCMCSMCC$X of CCVCLMMMLVCCX
Between Andrew Baggarly here and John Shea here, there's a lot of petrol for the rumor Fiat. Some thoughts in nugget format, trying to keep pace with the nuggety goodness of both articles: The names this offseason -- Orlando Hudson, Rafael Furcal, Adam Dunn, Mark Teixeira -- beat the hell out...
