Andrew Baggarly also takes into account the following fact:
Either way, I suspect the Giants almost have to add another middle infielder, especially now that Edgar Renteria will have offseason surgery and will be touch-and-go the rest of the season. More exclusive details on that can be found in the notebook .
Eric Simon scans the other's answers and reply:
Prior to the season, John Sickels of Minor League Ball rated Barnes a C+ and pegged him as the Giants' 14th best prospect, saying he had "Good stuff, decent command."
Mike Hindman is not really sure about that:

Despite the previous arguments, Cleveland Frowns has many reasons to think otherwise:

Mike Hindman imagines that:

Cleveland Frowns imagines that:
And you want to see something else that's pretty neat about this story? Check this out.
Eric Simon comes with the facts:
I completely agree I have been really high on Barnes, but I can t argue with trading from a position of strength. At least Garko is under team control for a few years. Also, I hope we get sanchez, but i don t want to empty the system for just willingham and sanchez. Brand new adoptive daddy for the Big Unit. Congrats go out to my son for his 300th win.

Having that in mind, Mike Hindman wonders:
- Holland or Feliz (offer Feliz but accept Holland if they insist) - Teagarden (replacement for Barajas) - Any OF in the system other than Borbon Moreland? - Their choice of Arias/Vallejo/Lemon. They want a replacement for Scutaro for next year. - Another highly regarded P prospect in the lower levels of the Font/Pinmental/Murphy/Castillo ilk. No Perez. No Wieland. No Ross. Pretty much anyone else below AA.
Sports tells the real story:

Still being unsure, Eric Simon asks:
On the bright side, I really do like the posturing. Basically they ve said Ok, here s what we re willing to talk about and we ve got 6 or 8 other options. Don t wait too long. It wouldn t at all surprise me if they did in fact offer Barnes in a package for Willingham or Sanchez and the Nats and Pirates said no initially. If you ve got someone the Giants want and they re one of only a couple realistic landing spots (Phils for Willingham, Twins for Sanchez), it s a nasty and effective negotiating tactic. Play hardball too long and the piece that you really want may be gone.

Andrew Baggarly is rather skeptical:
Anyway, point is, the Giants had the deal done while the Brewers were in San Francisco. But they waited until after the series to announce it and let Ray-Ray jump on Milwaukee’s charter out of town. At the time, Durham called it a classy move. It’s hard enough for a player to wrap their head around being uprooted from their surroundings. It’s even harder when you’re asked to face your former buddies that same day.

For this reason, Eric Simon says:
At least Bowker has options left. So he can go back to raking against AAA pitching and hope that someday, somehow (maybe somewhere) he ll get more than a 30 at bat try out.

To me it seems his inability to add any pieces, despite having an overabundance of talent to deal, while numerous other trades were made for lesser prospects somewhat exposes his negotiation skills when he doesn t have the other team over a barrel.
Pete is not really sure about that:
The possible Cliff Lee/Tim Lincecum match-up on Saturday. Would be only the 3rd time in baseball history the 2 reigning Cy Young award winners would face off against one another. No pressure, Cliff.

Ryan Garko From: Anthony Stalter Craig Calcaterra Evan Grant Chad Lawton Pete Cale Brett Perryman/Contributor Cleveland Frowns Mike Hindman Ben Nicholson-Smith Ben Nicholson-Smith Melissa Martinez /26674296
Anthony Stalter is not really sure about that:
This report might not be true (after all, Schulman didn t site his sources), but if it is, Cleveland GM Mark Shapiro had to have been hammered when he took the call from San Francisco GM Brian Sabean about V-Mart:
Craig Calcaterra comes with the facts:
Shyster's Daily Circuit Rob Neyer AaronGleeman.com Joe Posnanski Blog Baseball Analysts Baseball Musings Cot's Baseball Contracts It IS About the Money Keith Law Cardboard Gods Baseball Think Factory MLB Trade Rumors Retrosheet Vegas Watch Way Back and Gone Bats -- NYT Baseball Blog The Biz of Baseball The Daily Fungo U.S.S. Mariner Braves Journal Scott Simkus The Common Man Jorge Says No! Baseball Over Here Fack Youk Wezen-Ball Chop-n-Change
Evan Grant says it all comes down to this:
1) This is a blog, not a newspaper article or syndicated column. Readability is nice in a blog and 99.8% of the time Inside Corner is light years ahead of most other blogs you might stumble upon.
Chad Lawton does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
26. Anderson Hernandez, Nationals27. Delwyn Young, Pirates: Handy jack-of-all-trades player, needed in Pittsburgh.
Pete comes with the facts:
Timmy Lincecum is always a plot line for me, most exciting pitcher in baseball. Probable Pitching Match-Ups Thursday: Lopez vs. LHP Jonathan Sanchez (3-9, 4.92 ERA) Friday: Blanton vs. RHP Ryan Sadowski (2-3, 4.81 ERA) Saturday: Lee vs. RHP Tim Lincecum (11-3, 2.30 ERA) Â *Lee not announced yet Sunday: Hamels vs. LHP Barry Zito (6-10, 4.54)
Cale considers that:
After talks with the Blue Jays went dead, the Phillies turned their attentions to Cliff Lee. The Indians demands were not quite as high as the Blue Jays, which allowed the Phils to keep top prospect P Kyle Drabek and rookie of the year candidate P J.A. Happ. The Phillies gave up top pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco, who had been inconsistent in Triple-A for parts of the past two years. Shortstop Jason Donald and catcher Lou Marson were members of the Olympic squad last year, and rose quickly through the minor league system. Donald was thought to possibly take 3B Pedro Feliz s spot next year, and Marson could have shared catching duties with Carlos Ruiz. Pitcher Jason Knapp had been struggling at Single-A all year. The Phillies got another top pitcher that they needed in Cliff Lee, and a more effective backup outfielder in Ben Francisco.
Furthermore, Brett Perryman/Contributor claims:
Posted by Scruffy @ 10:47 AM Mon, Jul 27, 2009 I still support the Rangers selling. Don't buy unless you're unloading future dead weight--Jones or Blalock. Blalock's value has never been higher, flip him. Davis would be more or less equal to Blalock when he is called back up. See if you can give him and a mid-level guy or two to SF for one of their pitchers. And hope Pittsburgh lowers their asking price for Zach Duke. We don't need another short-term disappointing hitter in the Carlos Lee/Matt Stairs category. Sheffield? Yikes. Stay far, far away from that. If we want a Gary that badly we'd be better off with Pettis becoming a player/coach. report as objectionable
In other words, Cleveland Frowns puts it this way:
Tuesday Frowndup: Trevor Spills the Beans, What it... Call Off the Wedgehunt El Flaco Explosivo Wednesday Frowndup: Taunting the Natives, Knucking...
Brett Perryman/Contributor remembers that:
Anyway, I don't deal for Sheffield or Willingham. Garko -- maybe if the price isn't too high. I have to agree with some of the above, stick with our own players and make some call-ups as needed. No need to go bust on a season where we're in contention but not really primed to make any SERIOUS noise. I'd love to be wrong, and I'm enjoying the ride, but I just don't see the Rangers going all the way. I think they have a really good chance of getting into the playoffs and maybe winning a game or even two games.
As Cleveland Frowns says:
Maybe only because he represented Cleveland well as a frequent in-studio guest of Jim Rome, or because he'd call WKNR just to vent (one of our pals recalled an amusing Garko KNR-rant occasioned by the Celtics' signing of Garnett in '07 (Garko's a Laker fan)). But our favorite Garko memory has little to do with anything that Garko did.
Despite the previous arguments, Mike Hindman has many reasons to think otherwise:
The only other center fielder expected to be a free agent this winter is Rick Ankiel and Texas can t afford him. Without Borbon, the Rangers are looking at a platoon of Murphy and Greg Golson in center field next year with Brandon Boggs as the extra outfielder (assuming Cruz in right and Hamilton in left). Golson s numbers against lefties are actually palatable (.294 / .354 / .353 vs. LHP).
Anthony Stalter is absolutely sure that:
“Yes siiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Word up, man?â€â€œUh yeah…hey listen Mark, I was wondering what kind of package you’d be looking for in a deal for Victor Martinez.â€
Ben Nicholson-Smith tells the real story:
The available starters aren t enticing, considering their cost. The bats that interest the Giants aren t available now. Schulman wonders if Josh Willingham might be one of the interesting, unavailable bats Sabean hints at. The Giants don t plan on trading Kevin Frandsen . They d rather keep him in the system as a utility man.
Ben Nicholson-Smith thinks about it:
Top Stories Red Sox Sign Paul Byrd Cubs Release B.J. Ryan Astros To Sign Roy Corcoran Pirates & Mariners Exchange Minor Leaguers Jake Peavy Dealt To White Sox Again Roy Halladay Not Traded Marlins Acquire Nick Johnson Reds Acquire Scott Rolen Rockies Acquire Joe Beimel Yankees Acquire Jerry Hairston Jr. Braves Acquire Adam LaRoche For Casey Kotchman Red Sox Acquire Victor Martinez Twins Acquire Orlando Cabrera Tigers Acquire Jarrod Washburn
In response, Cleveland Frowns claims:
Bottom line, shapiro is pretty good at these sorta deals, afterall we wouldn t of even had Cliff if he didn t pull off a deal like this in 2002 which if we didn t get rid of b.phillips might ve been the best trade ever (colon for lee, sizemore, and phillips).
However, Mike Hindman thinks differently:

Melissa Martinez has another idea:

Having that in mind, Mike Hindman wonders:

But things can change during the course of a season, and they absolutely have in the Angels case. Lackey hasn t been Lackey, and the rest of the rotation quite frankly hasn t really existed. Names such as Jarrod Washburn, Cliff Lee, Felix Hernandez, an even Roy Halladay swirled above the Angels front office. But the 2009 deadline came and went, and the Angels were left with nothing. With Vlad and Torii Hunter on the Disabled List, that Angels look depleted, and did very little to help themselves out. What s worst is that it doesn t even seem like they tried. Not only did they not walk away with any new players for their roster, their name didn t even appear heavily in the pursuit of anyone.
Still not being convinced, Andrew Baggarly replies:
James says: July 29th, 2009 at 12:52 pm Wonder if we can get the pirates to eat Zito s COntract in this trade too .a la Matt Morris
Chris and Shane is not really sure about that:
Recent Trades: Ryan Garko ( CLE ) for Scott Barnes (SF): I don't know much about Scott Barnes but Garko seems a to filling a gaping hole for the Giants and is a very good fit as he was losing at bats to Victor Martinez who was playing more 1st base this year.
Sports thinks about it:
Velez took advantage of another start with a three-hit night that included a tying double in the first inning and a two-run single in the fourth.
But Brett Perryman/Contributor says that's not all:
Posted by csmith0320 @ 7:12 PM Mon, Jul 27, 2009 Weren't you the brilliant one who suggested the Rangers should consider releasing Nippert so that Feliz could be moved up? report as objectionable

White Sox 3, Yankees 2: If you lived in outer space and just came to Earth to visit on Thursdays, you might come away with the impression that DeWayne Wise was actually good, what with the big catch in Buehrle's perfecto last week and hit the walkoff RBI single last night. Hmm, maybe I won't go back to outer space. Mars ain't the kind of place to raise my kids. In fact it's cold as hell.
TD does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
Will more moves happen? I think any veteran with a movable contract (i.e. Jamey Carroll, Jhonny Peralta, maybe Cliff Lee or Victor Martinez) will be shipped out before Friday s trade deadline.

Last Call on ETIN does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
As if those three reasons weren t big enough, the Sox also didn t have to part with Bucholz, Bard, or any of the other top young talent that has been floating around the airwaves. They lose a decent arm in the bullpen in Justin Masterson, but what they gain from the switch-hitting Martinez is a very strong bat, flexibility at four major positions, and a consistency at catcher that was uncertain after 2009. All in all, a great move by Boston not only for 2009 but beyond.
Before going any further, Cleveland Frowns wants to get this straight:

The bottom line is that the browns have one of the most unique color combos in sports, and because brown, orange, and white go together so well, almost any combo will look good. and as an aside, the browns should serve as an inspiration to the padres, who left behind what little identity they had when they ditched their brown and yellow for today s l.a. dodger ripoff blue scheme.

Nathaniel Stoltz is not really sure about that:
Ishikawa is hitting .269/.321/.411; Garko is hitting .285/.362/.464.On that superficial level, Garko is a nice upgrade.
Eric Simon gives a bit of an idea about it:

However, Drew Silva states that:
Hermie, understand your point about the Garko/Ishikawa comparison, but the offensive upgrade by getting Garko doesn t outweigh the lost defense from jettisoning Ishikawa, and the loss of a solid AA pitcher or two (presumably Alderson would be in the mix). Posted by: Steve Soto | July 26, 2009 at 08:20 PM
Ben Nicholson-Smith objects:
And even then, in the playoffs it is NOT offense that wins you series more often than not. It is pitching and defense.
Despite the previous arguments, Cleveland Frowns has many reasons to think otherwise:
Paulie's sound analysis of the trade at DiaTribe (and TCF ("Gonnie Garko." Nice!)); but we're at least a little sad to see a guy like Garko go.
Chad Lawton explains:
80. Pat Burrell, Rays81. *Jose Guillen, Royals82. Jeremy Hermida, Marlins83. David DeJesus, Royals

Paul Raymond comes with a new idea:

In contrast, Craig Calcaterra replies:
The judges would have preferred the Costanza-esque "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?" but they will accept the O.J.-esque "I'm going to search for the real killers" response as well. Either way, he wasn't so blindsided that it took him off his game, as his three run homer in the seventh put the Sox up for good.
Cleveland Frowns thinks that the problem is:
July 29, 2009 1:38 PM Fred Coupon said... I think many experts agreed the Indians had the talent to win, but slow starts have killed the team every season. Shouldn t the manager get blame for that?
Anthony Stalter is rather skeptical:
For the Indians, they’re essentially giving up on a player that never fully reached his potential in Garko, while adding another arm to their depleted farm system. And any time a club can acquire an arm from the Giants’ stacked pitching system, it’s usually a good thing seeing as how guys like Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Jonathan Sanchez, Francisco Liriano and Jeremy Accardo have all developed into quality ML pitchers. (Or Cy Young-quality/caliber pitchers in the cases of Lincecum and Cain.)
Brett Perryman/Contributor explains:

Still not being convinced, Mike Hindman replies:
The fact that the Rangers admitted that they thought they had Ryan Garko in hand before he was suddenly flipped to San Francisco for an excellent Cal League pitcher tells you something about what the Rangers are willing to give up for a right-handed bat. Evan advises that he was told the Texas offer was two players. My best guess is that Texas offered somebody like Carlos Pimetel and a low-level bat. Evan s guessing Tim Murphy and a low-level bat. Had they gotten Garko, they certainly would have been out of the market for a bat. And now that he s off the market, I don t see an alternative that could be had for a package like that unless the Mets just decide to take whatever they can get for Sheff. And with all the turmoil at Citi these days, anything is possible.

I think if you trow in Burris and a another prospect you might get Sanchez but Pittsburgh is bound to want Sosa or Pucetas. Pucetas is interesting he is ready for the majors and is dealin in triple A this year. if the dont send Sadowski back to triple A and call up Pucetas you ll see him in a deal Posted by: The_Thrill_22 | July 27, 2009 at 04:18 PM

Here you go MIB-This is just for you. This is straight from your boy Brian Sabean:"Sabean said the offense was crippled on the trip by injuries to Aaron Rowand (forearm contusion) and Edgar Renteria (inflamed elbow), and without a veteran backbone, the Giants younger hitters were exposed.
