I saw this question posed as a FanPost on another site and thought it was a pretty good idea for a slow, pre-Thanskgiving weekend. So who's your favorite baseball player that's not an Oriole? Least favorite non-O? Why? Some of my favorites: Matt Garza - He seems a little bit insane, and I feel like he's going to be crazy good. Roy Halladay - I just love everything about him. I saw a rumor the Dodgers...
Supposedly, the easiest position at which to find a hitter is first base. Alas, we are Giants fans. It's a little disingenuous to say there's a post-Will curse on the organization -- J.T. Snow did provide a couple of fantastic years to bookend the meh -- but there hasn't been a lot of offense from first base since Will Clark left. The Sabean-led Giants are the kind of organization that can look at...
If you missed the State of the Sabean, here you go . Some of the key points: Brad Penny wants too much money. Juan Uribe wants too much money. Bengie Molina wants a multi-year deal, which the Giants aren’t willing to do. Trades stink because other teams want good players. The Giants are going to buy a new offense through free agency. They aren’t going to spend for Matt Holliday, so get...
Let's try to filter through all the rumor reports from the GM meetings... Milton Bradley We know Hendry has talked to the Rays, Rangers, Blue Jays, Mets and Angels and really only the Rays and Rangers seem to be showing any real interest and both want the Cubs to pay a hefty portion of Bradley's remaining contract. The two most discussed names coming back were Pat Burrell or Kevin Millwood. For those...
As has been documented on numerous occasions at TMS, other Cubs blogs, sports talk radio, and basically any every modern media platform, we are tired of Milton Bradley, and wish the saga would end. With any luck, Jim Hendry can work some magic (and take on an equally bad contract) this week at the GM meetings. To have to go into January, or God forbid Spring Training knowing that Bradley is still on...
I had thought of something to write about these meetings and then realized I didn’t really care. Nothing will happen that wouldn’t have happened without the meetings. We’ll hear a few rumors over the next few days and read about how the GM Meetings lay the groundwork for trades that take place weeks later or don’t even take place at all. I’m pretty sure the GMs can lay...
So does the fact that what the Phillies have accomplished in the past three years – three Eastern Division championships, two National League championships, one World Championship – is more than the San Francisco Giants, the team of my youth, have accomplished in their 51 years in the Baghdad by the Bay, make up for my disappointment on Wednesday? No. Not really. Already the mind starts...
Link-O-Rama Last spring, when NBCSports.com began planning to launch a new baseball blog , Matthew Pouliot and I were asked to think of a third writer to possibly bring into the mix. We both immediately suggested Craig Calcaterra , who has predictably been a perfect fit at Circling the Bases . In fact, he's such a great fit that Craig has decided to quit being a lawyer to become a full-time blogger....
Promoted from FanPosts, some laughs on an otherwise gloomy day... WC This week, the Inqy's Frank Fitzpatrick wrote an article claiming that there was simply " not enough Philly " in Cole Hamels , and that this would eventually get to him. I realized that this impenetrable logic also spells doom for many other Phillies , who just may not be Philly enough to make it in this town. 1. Jimmy Rollins...
MLBTradeRumors .com posted and interesting piece today regarding the different players around baseball that are being vastly overpaid. After looking at the list, it makes me feel a little bit better about the Rowand , Renteria and Zito contract disasters, and it also got me thinking of how to possibly get one of these guys, most likely Rowand , off the Giants hands. Now, this is mostly just speculation...
Got a bad contract on your hands? Maybe you can swap it for another team's problem. I'll list the bad contracts, you connect the dots. Vernon Wells, Blue Jays - five years, $98.5MM Alfonso Soriano, Cubs - five years, $90MM Barry Zito, Giants - four years, $83MM Alex Rios, White Sox - five years, $59.7MM Travis Hafner, Indians - three years, $40.25MM Aaron Rowand, Giants - three years, $36MM Carlos...
With so many people expressing mixed emotions about the Bochy / Sabean extensions over the past couple of weeks, I wanted to take a little bit more of an in-depth look at what these two have done here during their time in San Francisco. It's no secret that Sabean has made big time mistakes over the past couple of years through free-agency. He signed Aaron Rowand and Barry Zito to multi-year deals that...
SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants are close to finalizing new deals for general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details were still being worked out and the club hadn't made a formal announcement. That could come as soon as this weekend but more likely on Monday during
