The Mercury News reports that the Giants will monitor Joe Crede this spring, and if healthy, there's a "good chance" they could acquire him for a pitcher.

The Giants have reportedly been shopping Matt Cain, who would be a solid fit in the back of a Chicago rotation that is starved for experience. Giants special assistant Ron Schueler, the former White Sox GM, has been pushing the team to acquire Crede

 

Yes, its official, Sabean is the worst GM in the history of baseball.

[javy knows my name]

If they get Cain for Crede, in any fashion, I'm going to crap myself.

Cain for Crede occurs....that's pathetic.

 

How about Murton and Marshall for Cain?

That won't satiisfy Sabean's veteran fetish...Marquis and Dempster for Cain?

[biittner77]

Is Crede really that old that the Giants would be interested?

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Age wise..not really..but he is broken down like an old man..which probably explains the GIants interest.

[Post Count Padder]

Everytime I think we have a bad GM, I jsut think about how bad the San Fran fans must feel. Trading a top young pitcher straight up for a broken down third baseman is not intelligent decision making.

Wow...the worst part would be that everyone would call KW a genius again...

It's easy to look like a genius when you're dealing with an idiot.

I haven't looked at any stats but wouldn't Cain pretty much be the number 2 if not 1 in Chicago (depending on which Buerhle shows up)? I don't see back of the rotation with the pitchers they have. I could be wrong though..

Cue Hendry/Littlefield joke

 

This is absurd. It's like Sabean doesn't like a player unless he's crappy and/or overrated.

[pitchcs]

I'm pretty sure a trade would involve Noah Lowry rather than Cain.

 

Numerous articles have been written about this and all have mentioned Lowry, not Cain. IIRC, Lowry and Crede's salaries basically offset.

[sneakypower]

The reporter is the biggest idiot in this affair.

 

"Cain was mentioned in talks for Miguel Cabrera, they'll probably just trade him for Crede instead."

That would make infinitely more sense especially considering the back of rotation comment.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

I'd still do Lowry for Crede in a heartbeat..I'm not that high on Lowry, but Joe Crede really does suck.

Yeah, wouldn't Cain be the Sox like #1/2??

 

But yes, I would do Lowry for Crede too if I were the Sox.

 

Lowry just has a huge control problem and his stats outside of Pac Bell/whatever it's called are terrible. Almost 1.5 runs higher over the course of his career. That could be cause for concern especially since Comiskey is a hitters haven.

At this rate, we could get Cain and Lincecum for Aramis. Would anyone do that if Aramis waived his no trade clause?

Probably as long as we can get Roberts and move DeRosa to 3B until the trading deadline.

Cain

Roberts

In a heartbeat. It doesn't even really matter who we get to replace Aramis, either.

It's sort of funny how the same metropolitan area has both the worst and best GM's in baseball.

Really interesting question...

 

I'd have to get the opinion of a bunch of people smarter than me about when Lincecum's and Cain's arms might be subject to falling off.

I have a theory that has a lot to do with operating budget.

Some scouts think Lincecum is a walking time bomb. Some think he can throw like that forever.

 

Cain worries me a bit more, simply because he looks like a workhorse, so he's been treated like one. Still, he's not in any imminent danger for this season.

 

Either way, with a rotation that sick, we'd be in pretty good shape. I don't care if we have to sign Pedro Feliz to play third...

Cain reminds me of Jason Schmindt
