Sanchez...C.C.

Hypothectically speaking, what do you think of the Giants trading Sanchez, Velez, and Schierholtz (only because Winn's contract would be too big), to the Marlins for Uggla, and Gregg?  They seem to both be available and both fill spots that are needed on the Giants roster while solving the outfield crunch. 

RF  Winn                                                               1.  Lincecum

LF  Lewis                                                              2.  Cain

3B  Sandoval                                                        3.  Zito                                          

2B  Uggla                                                              4.  Lowry

C   Molina                                                          Yabu/Correia?                                                 

CF  Rowand                                                   Hinshaw/Valdez                                         

1B  Ishikawa/?                                               Taschner/Romo                                   

SS  Burriss                                                        Gregg/Wilson

Aurilia?/Frandsen/Bowker/Roberts/Holm

That payroll is low, around $72-$75 million depending on bench/bullpen (rough estimate, may even be lower than that), which would allow them to make a run at Sabathia, even for $15-20 million/yr.  I know this is very unlikely, but would be a damn good team with a rotation like that.  One more bat at 1B/3B would be nice though too.

Amy G

Amy G is the worst.  How long until someone in the orginization has to point out to the dizzy bird that Pablo only knows about 4 phrases in barely audible english.  She sits there and repeatedly asks him the same questions over and over, gets the same response, then asks him something that he just doesn't have the ability to answer.  It's not just with Pablo, I mean, she flat out sucks period, but when interviewing a guy who doesn't speak the same language, maybe change the approach a bit.  She makes me sick. 

Sorry, hijack away...

Cain & Lincecum

Through roughly 100 innings each, their stats are almost identicle, except ER's and W-L.  I don't know this for sure, but I'd bet the farm Lincecum has a much better run support stat than Cain does, and the luck factor is just insanely against Matty.  But everything else is pretty damn close, and that's including those couple of ugly outings from Cain factored in there.  I think Cain's right now, and going to have an epic second half.

Cain's also rocking a .414 slugging pct.  That's better than Durham's.

CSN-BA?

I just noticed that the Giants schedule shows the games on CSN-BA, does anyone know if this is just the new FSN?  I hope I don't have to get a new cable package.

Velez

How high of an OBP would Velez need in order to break the single season SB record?  The guy's good when he gets on, I really think he could do it if he had around a .340+ OBP.

Taschner

SA Jack is putting up good numbers this spring.  Does he get a spot in the pen?  Is this the year he finally gets it together?  I'd rather see him and Threets than ol' man Kline, especially since he lost the 40 lbs.

Clemens on ESPN

Man, it's painful to watch him lie so boldly.  He's fumbling all over himself.

The only one?

I guess I'm still alone in hoping for a Petey Feliz return to 3B.  I was very excited to see the Rolen/Glaus thingy, because neither of them and their contracts were going to be the solution.  Pete on a 2 year/12 Million deal is A OK with me.  Unless Sabean's going to throw some pitching somewhere for a better, long term solution.

If one of em' has to go.....

I've already made up my mind I'd rather it be Lincecum, granted I'm extremely biased towards Cain but I truly believe that Matty will have the better career.
That being said, I wouldn't even consider trading Tim for less than 3 MLB ready position players.  I see Lincecum's value as damn near even with Johan's; though I'm aware that there are probably no GM's that would agree.
