The Giants have spent plenty of high draft picks on position players like Linden, Torcato, Niekro, and Ishikawa. The problem is, these guys can’t play. Let’s say that in the last ten years the Giants only drafted as many position players as most organizations draft in seven years, or six. That’s no excuse. Developing no position players in ten years worth of drafts is a terrible record. So is developing no position players in six years.

There is not one piece of evidence – NOT ONE – that Sabean can develop or acquire talented position players, either via drafting or trading. On the trade front, the only notable under-30 position player he traded for was AJ, and you know how that turned out. So, will someone please explain to me how, when your organization’s biggest need is young position players, you look over all the available candidates and choose the GM who has the clearest record of failing in this regard?

everytime the repugs eff up…they blame clinton

everytime this org effs up….they blame bonds

watch….in 10 years, when the team is still without bonds, they will be blaming bonds for eating up all that payroll in the 90s and early 21st century

wanna explain to me how bonds has hamstrung this org, but zito’s contract will not??
