I can't say I'm a fan of DeRosa manning RF every day. He provides decent production for a 2B/utility guy, but as a RF, I'd want someone better. Soriano-Pie-Fuku would be a swell OF. -
Doesn't Bedard have an injury history?
-
A dominating pitching staff is key, but as the Padres proved last year, you still need some help from your offense. Proved how? The Rockies needed a 163rd game to beat them and get into the playoffs.

They need offense in a bad way, but they have to get it either through upping their payroll and smartly acquiring free agents or through rebuilding from within. Considering their history of developing position players is just as illustrious as the Cubs, that seems problematic. Rios is a nice OF and everything, but he's nowhere near the level that would allow the Giants to offset any loss in production caused by trading one of Cain or Lincecum away. He would not make the Giants' offense much better, if at all better, than it was last season; especially considering Bonds won't be back. He'd be under their control for three years and would start to get expensive in a hurry thanks to arbitration. Moreover, the Giants would have Cain and Lincecum under control for a longer period of time. I could understand trading one of those two guys away for a good package of players with Rios at the center. But...straight up for Rios? That'd be lunacy.

It depends on whether they sign Barrett. If they do, it's good for us.
-
Could have been another HS hitter we failed to develop into a useful player. Quite possible. However, that won't stop me from being bitter.

If the deal is Lowry and spare parts for Matsui, it wouldn't be a bad deal for the Giants. The Giants have some guys who have some interesting potential at the corners, but none of the OFs in their system would be likely to produce the way Matsui can. Lowry's stats from last season are deceptive. He's not as good as people think. Cain or Lincecum for Matsui, on the other hand, would be stupid.

I sense a new word filter is upon us! I'm not sure referring to people as "flippy dippys" is really much better. Agreed. I shall have a conversation with the filter dude. It's not a filter. A mod edited those posts to put in the lesser of two evils. *Shrug*

Welcome aboard! It's not a bad idea, in all honesty. I'm more partial towards Kemp, but that's just me. -

Cards release So Taguchi
Outshined_One replied to Post Count Padder's topic in General Baseball Talk
But...but...what will we do without all of our bad So Taguchi puns in the game threads?! -

I take a break to get dinner and watch a movie (The Third Man!)...only to come back and see nothing's changed. I enjoyed reading the comment someone made about having to wade through 10 pages of crap to find my post-padder comment, though. The implications of that were rather flattering. :lol:

Someone lock this thread, it's gone so far above and beyond its original point.

What the hell, are all the GMs going out to the bars or something? Will Fukudome's agent be fielding drunk dials?

For my 16,000th post, I have decided to post something that is thought-provoking and deep compared to the current discussions going on. You will find it is quite relevant to this thread. http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2964/walrusbucketum7.jpg

Hmmmmmmmmm...didn't realize I have 16,000 posts. Of course, all of them have been deep, insightful, meaningful, and in no way useless to this forum whatsoever! :D I have to come up with something big for my 16,000th post...

Cripes, not another painfully long and agonizing thread... What would you do as a moderator to shorten them? Institute a mandatory castration policy for people who are clearly padding their post count.

He's def. still worthwhile espec. in a park like Petco. That's part of the reason why I love Taveras so much in Coors, his range is the best in the game. And yet, at the plate...that's another story altogether.
