…. No no-no
Lincecum missed a no-hitter by the hair on his heady-head-head. If he gets Gwynn on that 3-2 pitch –slider?– (Chron says it was a change-up) stays in that groove, he’s only 8 outs away. He certainly wanted it, was thinking about it, and was going for it. Oh well. 10-2 at the break, almost certainly gonna be the All Star Game starter…. Can’t ask for much more, can we?

Well. Actually no. I’m of the mindset to just go with the personnel that got everybody to where they are now. Maybe dfa Aurillia and do some minor juggling at the bottom of the roster. Its still a seller’s market, and from what I’ve seen, the Giants would have to give up more than what they would get back in terms of significant improvement. Their best hope now for the short term is to hope that Bowker’s PCL numbers can translate here.
Having said that, they still can’t hit. But the best opportunity to remedy that, in the offseason, has come and gone. Like I said, its a seller’s market, and there is more demand than supply of what the Giants need and what they would be required to pay would be prohibitive.
But that would be a baseball decision and there are lots more empty seats now than in seasons past. The Giants are marketing-driven, where filling up the seats is the number one priority and there is no doubt, the Giants would make a bad baseball decision if it meant more filled seats..which is what they have always done in the past.
Time will tell
