I say DO IT. Granted Cabrera might be a slight risk due to his fondness for food, but at the same time you don’t get chances to HOF level talent before they even reach their prime. Especially the type of player who fits your ballpark, since RH power > LH at Pac Bell (unless you’re named Bonds). This kind of opportunity doesn’t come around often, Giants need to pounce.

The funny thing is I doubt people would be complaining if we had just won in 02. Thanks Dusty.

Or thank you Gene Glynn for sending the slowest player in baseball in JT Snow home with 2 outs in the 9th and the bases loaded on a ball hit to shallow LF. And Bonds was in the hole….

Yeah man, preaching to the choir. We here have been assailing the Giants’ moves for what (?) four years now. I really don’t believe that there is a short-term solution, only propaganda and players with names that “average fans” will recognize as being good once.

Hey at least we sacrificed our future to make a run at the NL West… LOL — you know a team is in bad shape when our years of going for it include 3 years of sub .500 baseball. Pathetic… it’s tough to be a sports fan in the bay area these days.

Well with how bad the team has been the last 3 years you really think we would have anything to do but wait? Seeing as how management totally neglected the future of the team while trying to sell the farm with Bonds it was painfully obvious that this team would be much worse as soon as they let Bonds go. And now we have reached that point.

Sadly, Omar Vizquel probably IS the best SS the Giants could get for 2008 (god forbid he plays enough to get paid in 2009 as well). But the Giants are not going to be contenders in 2008. I’m not convinced that Omar at $5 million is a better idea than Joe CrapAAA for the ML minimum. Spend that $5 million somewhere that will be helpful down the road when the team is ready to contend again. The money they are paying Vizquel is now lost … it won’t get them any closer to the World Series, so it’s wasted money.

Of course, I’m also not convinced that Sabean would do the right thing with any extra $5 million that he is given. I mean, he just gave $5 million to Omar Vizquel.

Jesus…my worst fears are coming true. What have Bochy back, Sabean back, and a AAA team with two young phenoms on the mound. The team sucks and to fix it we either wait 3-5 years (with luck) or trade away one of our two young phenoms and nobody want to do that. So, in the meantime, we just…w-a-i-t.

wait john,

sickels report is from a year ago, and both lewis and nate proved their worth as did kfran

eme has gotta be way down in the rankings due to his injury probs

i still think sabean has done a crapass job, but sickels gave some low grades to definite major league talent
