    Bryson Dechambeau would beg to differ.

    Acknowledged; however, Shapiro likely still signed off on it. I just don't like the "well last time we jumped the market, we got Morales" talk without acknowledging we've had success doing that also. We also don't talk about failures we've had when signing people later in the FA season. It's just an empty opinion IMO.

    I'm curious to see what guys like Kluber, Archer, Quintana, Odorizzi, Paxton, etc. get. I mean we all know the 'stuff' is electric, but there's nothing more frustrating than watching pitchers walk guys.

    Don't forget how they re-signed Happ and Estrada very early in free agency period after the 2015 season....they successfully jumped the market that year, got those 2 at reasonable contracts and they anchored the rotation to a 2016 playoff birth.

    Chris Davis has been back on Adderall for the past 2 season I believe. He was granted permission and he's still horrendous.

    I guess having a lot of money to spend is the first step, their building blocks seem non-existent (yes they've had some waiver wire success, but you're not building around Yas, Dickerson and Dubon) and they don't have this incredible farm system that's about to dumps lots of talent onto the ML roster. I guess they can try to buy a winning team through Free Agency, but history suggest that's often unsuccessful. Seems odd - usually it's teams that have that solid base there, with a stocked farm system who see a window to contend and use free agency to put them over the top. I just don't see the Giants being anywhere near that. I just see a horrible roster that should probably be selling high on Yas, Dickerson and Dubon to try and rebuild. Maybe add some short term FA's that you could sell at the trade deadline to add talent. Maybe it's just me though.

    That's because literally everyone on their team overperformed last year. Fair point about spending and then trading it for long term assets, but post COVID it seems unlikely many owners will be looking to do that.
  8. Brownie19
    Can someone explain why the Giants would spend significantly this offseason? That team is horrendous on paper.

    You really have no problem getting Tellez at bats as Grichuk doesn't have to play RF fulltime. Grichuk and Tellez would essentially platoon.

    I'm not sure waiving a carrot in front of Vlad is going to motivate him...
  11. Brownie19
    I just read the quotes (never heard that originally). He says he isn't closing the door on Vlad playing 3rd and threw out a token note that "he would have felt comfortable playing him at third base toward the end of the season". That sounds like media BS talk to me personally. How does he say he wants to improve the defense (which was 29th in runs saved last year) while also seriously considering Vlad at 3rd? The facts are clear - our defense isn't very good and Vlad is awful at 3rd defensively. I'm going to stick with that and ignore the media talk. I'm really happy he's losing weight though. I hope failure has changed his attitude and that the trust fund kid is finally dedicated to being a great baseball player - and putting the necessary work in to get there.

    I guess I am. I'll go back into my cave.

    Dude, someone asked who trade targets would be at CF/2nd/3rd who are young and have control left. I spent 3 minutes scanning fangraphs and threw out a few names. You're really upset with one of those suggestions - I get it. Can we let it go? Why did the A's trade Josh Donaldson coming off an 88-74 season? Don't know, but they did.
  14. Brownie19
    Because we offer them something they value more? Why did the Brewers give up Trent Grisham? I'm just tossing out ideas bruh.
  15. Brownie19
    Let's stop pretending that Vladdy playing 3rd base is an option.
  16. Brownie19
    Because nobody cares about GG winners...
  17. Brownie19
    How about Ramon Laureano? Maybe Whit Merrifield? I also wonder what the Reds are up to...do they think they are still in a compete window? Eugenio Suárez and Nick Senzel could be available. It's not impossible....Trent Grisham was traded last offseason. He's the type of guy we'd love to add (recognizing he didn't come cheap).
  18. Brownie19
    I think you might be on to something! Maybe the fictitious symbol you prey to will show you the way.
  19. Brownie19
    Jesus christ.

    Are you f***ing insane?

    Fair point that from Seattle's perspective Seager's only there for 2021 anyway. $6M isn't normally much to worry about - but it might be in the 2020 offseason. Just read the Twins were probably going to non-tender Eddie Roserio because he was projected to make $10-$12M in arbitration. He's been a pretty solid player for the Twins, who are in the middle of a contending window. Roark for Seager - done!
  22. Brownie19
    I have zero confidence in his ability to play 1st base long term, let alone 3rd base. I also have zero confidence in his ability to get to a reasonable weight (240 lbs?) and to keep it off for more than a few months. I'm happy to see he's acknowledged he has a problem - it would be great to hear him acknowledge his hitting has also been s*** and that he needs to start taking his career seriously, put in his work, learn the art of hitting and get better.
  23. Brownie19
    with Groshans and Martin on the way, I wonder if we'd be able to trade for Kyle Seager AND get a solid prospect in exchange for taking on his remaining salary (which would be 2 years, $36M I believe as his 2022 club option is automatically exercised if traded. He would shore up 3rd base for the next couple of seasons while Groshans and/or Martin develop. Obviously this depends on what type of prospect we could get for eating Seager's contract, but I think we have that type of financial flexibility. Or - maybe we give them Roark in exchange for Seager...

    Springer will be entering his Age 32 season. Anyone expecting him to play CF for the foreseeable future at an average to above average level is fooling themselves. Springer is a phenomenal player, but his best fit is on a team that can transition him to RF within the next year or two - where he should remain above average for a bit.

    Happy to see Alex Gordon win the GG in his final season. The fact that Alex Gordon is retiring makes me feel super old.
