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."

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.

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 Milwaukeeâs charter out of town. At the time, Durham called it a classy move. Itâs hard enough for a player to wrap their head around being uprooted from their surroundings. Itâs even harder when youâre asked to face your former buddies that same day.

Mike E @ August 1st, 2009 at 5:15 pm Have to say I think Daniels is actually a loser here, not even taking into account Halladay. 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.

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:

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.

Farrah S Story

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)

Trapped

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.

Global Grind

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

Geocaching

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...

Kari Callin

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.

Urban Cowboy

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.

Ephod

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).

Liam Hoekstra

Anthony Stalter is absolutely sure that:
âYes siiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Word up, man?ââUh yeahâ¦hey listen Mark, I was wondering what kind of package youâd be looking for in a deal for Victor Martinez.â

Carrie Prejean Playboy

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.

Azita Ghanizada

Ben Nicholson-Smith thinks about it:

Parp Inhibitor

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).

Andrew Luster

Despite the previous arguments, Last Call on ETIN has many reasons to think otherwise:
Before the season started, the Angels looked like they had a great pitching staff. John Lackey at the helm, followed by Ervin Santana, Joe Saunders, and Jered Weaver. 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:

Paul Tibbets

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.

Rachel Alexandra

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.

Leviticus 8 1 13

Before going any further, Cleveland Frowns wants to get this straight:
July 29, 2009 1:01 PM coachie said... picking up the uniwatch-themed conversation from yesterday I will chip in that i m down with a brown in white jerseys and brown pants. i m not agains the all-white look either, i think plenty of teams look good in all-white, U.Texas comes to mind. 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.

Poptropica Cheats For Astro Knights

Anthony Stalter is rather skeptical:
For the Indians, theyâre 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 Giantsâ stacked pitching system, itâs 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.)

Tj Markiewicz

For this purpose, Ben Nicholson-Smith suggests:
Remember Sosa is injured. Don t know if he s even tradeable. Posted by: SFG55 | July 27, 2009 at 04:18 PM No way the Padres trade him within the division just not gonna happen unless we blew them away with Bumgarner Villalona and Alderson and that way to much for him Padres aren t really shopping him they re listening but they arent actively looking to trade the guy for all the reasons you just stated. hes the one guy that is putting butts in the seats down in San Diego. Sorry darkknight its just not gonna happen. The Red Sox might make a push but thats the only team that has a real shot at getting him from the Padres

Similarly, Brett Perryman/Contributor adds:
Maybe you should reasses that "window is closing" thought. report as objectionable Posted by johnny LA @ 3:33 PM Mon, Jul 27, 2009 I'd prefer they do nothing and see what happens. If one or two of our hitters break out of their below average year, then nothing we can get off the block will be better. I'd rather gamble that someone breaks out then give up players for a rental. As you said, it's not like we are peaking right now. report as objectionable

Student City

Last Call on ETIN can't forget that:
St. Louis Cardinals The Cardinals have plenty of pitching. And they also have plenty of Pujols. But before the Trade Deadline, they didn t have much else. Grabbing Julio Lugo (Red Sox) and Mark DeRosa (Indians) helped aleviate the pain, but there was still something missing.

Kevin Jonas Engaged To Danielle Deleasa

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.

Trevor Cole does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:

Ben Nicholson-Smith sees it this way:

Ben Nicholson-Smith sees it this way:
Posted by: The_Thrill_22 | July 27, 2009 at 10:39 PM The Thrill-I think you missed the entire point of that post. It was just using Gonzalez as an example. I could have substituted his name with Martinez, Holliday, Wright, Ramirez, Crawford, etc.

Monica Hansen

Still being unsure, Tim Kawakami asks:
But 10 guards/wings is too many. Unnecessary.What the WarriorsÂ could useÂ is a 6-10 guy who canÂ give them emergency minutes atÂ center or power forward. Right now, their bigs areÂ in short supply:

T 38 Talon

For example, Drew Silva considers:
I like V-mart at first base but I think his price tag may be too high. I think we should target Aubrey Huff who would require much less, prospects wise, and would still give us the power we desperately need. As for 2B the same mentality applies with Dan Uggla being the better option, but I think Freddy Sanchez would suffice.

Drew Silva is not really sure about that:
As bad as the Nationals need pitching, I wonder if they would listen to an offer for Zimmerman and then move Sandoval to first. i dont think the nationals should consider that. zimmerman is still very young and they should build the team aro und him. Posted by: t111592 | July 26, 2009 at 08:36 PM

Rett Syndrome

Drew Silva is absolutely sure that:
On the other hand...when you think of the best organizations in the game...you start to think about the St. Louis Cardinals. They re a barely above average team but they always go for the postseason berth and, thus, a world championship. They traded their No. 1 prospect -- Brett Wallace -- to get Matt Holliday. The Cardinals, legitimately, always play for this year and understand that Wallace, Buster Posey, etc. are prospects...and that the game s history is filled with prospects who went bust.

Brett Perryman/Contributor thinks that the problem is:

Drew Silva thinks about it:
Between Sandoval ahead and Gillaspie behind, it looks like Ryan Rohlinger is blocked. Would SF be willing to trade him and Kevin Pucetas to the O s for Huff? Posted by: mstrchef13 | July 26, 2009 at 08:23 PM

Capital Of Canada

TD does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
The weekend is vintage Eric Wedge action. Nobody is watching or paying attention since the games are on the west coast over a summer weekend, yet his team put together an offense explosion, got three quality starts from the rotation and managed to sneak out of the AL Central cellar. They carry a four game winning streak - only their second this season - into Anaheim to play three with the West leading Angels. Said Garko - Everything went right for us this weekend. Everything went wrong for us at home. The balls hit hard were caught. This weekend, the balls we hit hard were in the gaps or were out of the park.

While it may be true, Mike Axisa thinks:
Ryan Ludwick: traded in 2002, irrelevant player until late 2007. Traded FOR Carlos Pena, who was then traded for Ted Lilly. The Indians, Rangers and Tigers all had him and let him go for nothing.

Nokia E71x

Meanwhile, Drew Silva came up with this idea:
By Drew Silva [July 26, 2009 at 7:53pm CST]As we cruise closer to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, the Giants still boast one of baseball s most intriguing situations. The club is 52-46 -- 10 games behind the Dodgers in the National League West, but just two games back in the Wild Card. Most experts agree they need a bat to continue contending, and they ve been linked recently to sluggers like Victor Martinez , Ryan Garko and Nick Johnson .

Jacob And Esau

Similarly, Anthony Stalter adds:
- The Yankees are looking for arms and according to ESPN.comâs Jayson Stark, the Bombers are interested in the Bucsâ Ian Snell, John Grabow and Matt Capps, the Natsâ Joe Beimel, the Royals Ron Mahay, and the Redsâ Bronson Arroyo.

Adventures In Babysitting

Drew Silva comes with a new idea:
Now with Victor would most likely cost you Alderson, Sosa IMO just knowing what has already been turned down by Cleveland for Victor.

Heel Stick

Drew Silva brings more details:
I m not opposed to trading away good young guys for talent (alderson, noonan, villalona) however I really think we should hang on to posey and bumgarner. With that said, I don t believe that just getting a Nick Johnson or Dan Uggla will do the trick for us...I think if we are really serious about winning we need to aim for two of the three options: 1B, 2B, corner OF.

I don't believe in giving up good prospects for a rent-a-player scenario. The team is playing great. We're 12 games over .500. When's the last time that's happened going into August? Once the hitters come out of their slumps (and it's going to happen), look out. Tommy Hunter is getting comfortable in the rotation. Dustin Nippert is getting better every time out. Doug Mathis could fit in as a spot-starter as well as Jason Jennings. We're fine. No need to panic and give up a good prospect.

Before going any further, Brett Perryman/Contributor wants to get this straight:
The analogy that I think best fits the current state of the Texas major league roster is the Return of the Jedi version of the Death Star . Let the construction near a conclusion, then start worrying about short term finishing touches. This franchise could pull an Indians and not be able to get its act together, sure, but it has so many quality talents who haven't even approached their prime, so few quality players who will leave, and such quality still in AAA that it's just not an appropriate move.

Rasheed Wallace

Still being unsure, Ben Nicholson-Smith asks:
As an O s fan, the Giants interest me. What would Huff bring in a return (esp. considering he s a likely Type A FA after the season and could bring back two draft picks if the Giants decided not to extend him and just offered arb.). The SF fans have also mentioned adding two bats and, while the idea doesn t appeal to me, it s at least interesting to think about: Huff and Luke Scott. That would add quite a bit of thunder to the lineup, I would think. Not saying it would happen, but it s intriguing nonetheless. Ty Wigginton is another possibility, though he s more of a super-utility type (and I don t really want the O s to trade him either- LOL).

Ivanka Trump

Anthony Stalter imagines that:
- The Dodgers are denying that a deal between them and the Indians involving Cliff Lee, Victor Martinez is in serious discussion. FOXSports.com reported over the weekend that L.A. and Cleveland were discussing a blockbuster trade that would send Lee and Martinez to the Dodgers for James Loney and either Chad Billingsley or Clayton Kershaw.

Carrie Prejean Playboy

In other words, TD puts it this way:
So the Red, White, and Blue headed into Sunday looking for only their only second sweep of the season. Facing their eighth straight left-handed starter, the Indians attack stayed white-hot, pounding Seattle 12-3 from the opening pitch. Grady Sizemore started the game with his 20th career leadoff home run. That was the first of a 12 run, 16 hit attack which featured a six run fifth that put the game away. After a Sizemore walk and a Jason Vargas wild pitch, Cabrera laid down a bunt towards the pitchers mound. Vargas, with no chance to get Sizemore at third, strangely made a throw to third which Grady beat out. The rally was on from there.

Baron Greenwich

For this reason, Tim Kawakami says:

In other words, Brett Perryman/Contributor puts it this way:
At any rate, his bat would be a major help this season, and you don't have to keep him past this year, particularly given the way he's hitting, so the question is once again price. There have been observer suggestions of a couple of third tier prospects such as Omar Poveda, Mitch Moreland, Guillermo Moscoso and WIlfredo Boscan, but I don't think that would be enough unless the Nationals were willing to be killed with quantity. Assuming that they would value arms like Blake Beavan, Kasey Kiker and Robbie Ross more highly than those above, you might at least have to go there for at least one player, and I would be pretty surprised if they wouldn't try to insist on Wilmer Font (which I would not do).

The analogy that I think best fits the current state of the Texas major league roster is the Return of the Jedi version of the Death Star . Let the construction near a conclusion, then start worrying about short term finishing touches. This franchise could pull an Indians and not be able to get its act together, sure, but it has so many quality talents who haven't even approached their prime, so few quality players who will leave, and such quality still in AAA that it's just not an appropriate move.

Ben Nicholson-Smith also takes into account the following fact:
Ya trade Posey for Martinez, but what happens when he jets after this season when his contract expires? You traded your young up and comer and lost the player you traded for him. Much like the trade between the Giants and Twins when we let go of Liriano, Bonser and Nathan for Pierzynski and Mohr. The giants lost both those guys. And the next coup le of seasons we had holes in the rotation, and the outfield and had to sign Matheny to repleace A.J. and sign Morris and Benitez to an obscene contracts. While Nathan and Liriano went on to become All-Stars.

Seattle

As a result of that, Tim Kawakami belives:
I think this will take the usual path for Selig a trial balloon to test public opinion, like what happened seven years ago, and a wait-and-see approach on Rose s behavior, which backfired on Rose seven years ago when he continued to act, like, well, Rose.

Madoff Sentencing

Drew Silva is not really sure about that:
Don t get the love affair many Giants fans have with Ish. He s a AAAA player and nothing more. I ve said for 2 months now that a Garko-Carroll combo to the Giants works for them. Carroll is no slugger but has a solid OBP and is a great vet player. Combined the two players would cost less then $1.5M. Would cost Alderson....so not sure the Giants will go that route though. Garko has better numbers than even Victor Martinez over their last 350-400 at-bats. They won t deal him lightly. VERY underrated as a hitter. Posted by: Hermie13 | July 26, 2009 at 08:15 PM

Why would you trade a young prospect like Alderson for a 34 year old Rolan? I think we should trade Alderson to get a premier or at least decent player, but maybe shoot a little younger then that. As bad as the Nationals need pitching, I wonder if they would listen to an offer for Zimmerman and then move Sandoval to first. I like Jermaine Dye, think he is a great hitter, but he is 35. Lets shoot a little younger. Victor Martinez would be a great deal but Sabean won t make that deal. Posted by: rileygiants | July 26, 2009 at 08:30 PM

Having that in mind, Drew Silva wonders:
"but Garko is a legit RBI guy." Not really, for a first basemen he s pretty much subpar. If you look at the numbers on fangraphs.com he s pos ted the third worst OPS of all MLB first basemen over the last 3 years as for RBIs during that time he s barely middle of the pack... on the lower half side. As an outfielder same numbers put him in the middle of the pack for right fielders, don t even mention left fielders. Posted by: start_wearing_purple | July 26, 2009 at 09:46 PM

Acquiring Sanchez and possibly Dukes would benefit the Giants current situation at second and 5th starter.

In response, Drew Silva claims:
Tyler Knight, I m certain the Drew for Sandoval proposal was sarcastic. If Sabean made that deal he d be dragged through the streets of SF on his way to a public hanging "(Zito/Renteria/Rowand....how is he not canned?)" Because Sabean is also the same man who drafted Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Alderson, Bumgarner, Posey, etc... Of course it helps to get a top ten pick... but still, his drafts are paying off.

TD remembers that:
Chris G-Man Gimenez crushed a two-run shot in the fourth and Asdrubal Cabrera added a two-runner of his own in the fifth - one in which he stood and admired. That did not sit well with many of the Mariners. Chris Jakubauskas then drilled Ben Francisco on the next pitch. The great Winston Abreu then returned the favor in the ninth, plunking Jack Hannahan to open the inning. Abreu was tossed, along with Eric Wedge and the benches cleared, though it was more of war of words than anything. Sowers ended up throwing seven scoreless, just as Laffey did the night before.

Guillermo Moscoso, I think could be a big contributor in the last two months as well as AJ Murray and Warner Madrigal.

Mike Axisa remembers that:
The arti cle about the Holliday trade was actually pretty funny. "The return was three prospects, none of which have shown any promise of having an impact on St. Louis" LOL Brett Wallace is one of best hitting prospects in baseball, and was hitting decent in AAA ONE YEAR removed from college. It makes me laugh that one guy, who clearly doesn t follow prospects can write something like that and get it published....why has EVERY baseball analyst and reporter called this a win for the A s or at the very least a even deal, but this guy gets away with being that ignorant?

For this purpose, Mike Axisa suggests:
"Suzysman... have you seen anything about the trade...every single news source is saying this was a win for the A s. If you think the A s got fleeced here I m wasting my time." It is a win for the A s because they get more then they could of with the DPs. It is a win for the Cards since they gave up only a player with absolutely no future with their club. Wallace is said to be a poor-fielding 1B/DH in 2/3 of his scouting reports with the other 1/3 saying he "might" be able to stay at 3B. Well, a poor-fielding 1B or DH has NO use in St. Louis, no matter how much you want to think otherwise. Posted by: SuzysMan | July 26, 2009 at 03:45 PM

Brett Perryman/Contributor tells the real story:
Gary Sheffield is a cancer, always has been, always will be. If someway somehow, Juan Pierre would be available that would be great. But in the outfield, Hamilton, Murphy and Cruz are probably not going to be traded and there is absolutely no way the Dodgers are going to take Andruw Jones back. You are stuck with him, or you could cut him and see what happens. I don't think much would. Blaylock is hitting the ball much better and playing pretty good defense since being put into the lineup everyday. If you think Davis is ready to comeback up, then putting Blaylock at DH everyda y and getting rid of Jones would probably be a step in the right direction. GO RANGERS!!!

Potentially in the same package where they ll get schnooked even worse-they will get one prime player and a bunch of second tier nothings by doing that when in fact both Vic and Lee on their own are worth far more. Shapetti is desperate .jobs are in question ..they are not sitting back knowing eyes on them. Don t kid yourself, Shapetti is SHOPPING Vic and Lee ..the doubletalk is pathetic.

Kenny Rankin

Ben Nicholson-Smith objects:
If you can get a Franchise cornerstone for a package that includes those guys then do it without hesitation. But if youre trading the guys Sabean has deemed "Untouchable" you better be getting a great return on your investment and trading for a guy that you can resign to a long contract and Not just a rent-a-player

He's a 4th outfielder for the Dodgers." -------------------------------------------------- Good idea really, Juan "the flea" Pierre is a classic leadoff guy. Probably one of 5 fastest guys in the game even at 30+...lifetime .300 hitter too. Only 2 problems: 1. Rangers already have 5 OFers, 4 if you cut Jones. 2. Pierre is in the 3rd year of a 5/45mm contract. As per above, if you cannot make payroll now, how can you add another $9mm? Think CONTRACTS before tossing names out there. report as objectionable

Recursion

However, Brett Perryman/Contributor thinks differently:
Garko might fit the player cost budget a little better. He's having a solid but not outrageous year (.286/.362/.470) that is well within his normal range. He offers virtually no defensive value (which is basically fine for Texas' situation), but he can play first base, and his on-base, which fits right in with Michael Young's and David Murphy's, would be a pleasant addition. He'll have three more years of control left after this one, but the Indians have basically run out of room for him, with Matt LaPorta being ready for the majors and defensive options being limited for some of their veterans. Though he could be tough to fit into the lineup next season and beyond, the club always seems to be looking for a solid right-handed, role-playing bat. That Poveda/Moscoso & Vallejo/Madrigal kind of deal could be a little more doable for Garko.

Parakeets

Brett Perryman/Contributor might have an idea about it:
Rosenthal (FoxSports.com) says :Count the Rangers among the clubs that balked at the Blue Jays' asking price for ace right-hander Roy Halladay. The Jays told the Rangers they would want left-hander Derek Holland, first baseman Justin Smoak and "two other top guys." The Rangers remain in the market for a bat, with the Indians' Ryan Garko and Mets' Gary Sheffield among their targets, even though Sheffield currently is on the disabled list. Josh Willingham would fit the mold, too, but teams continue to report the Nationals' asking price is high.

Drew Silva tells the real story:
The question is whether or not the Giants want to sink that much long-term money into their outfield.

Budapest Gambit

As a result of that, Brett Perryman/Contributor belives:
We have a good nucleus, and as much as it pains me to think we may not finish well this year, I have not given up hope. Furthermore, I definately don't want to see any actions that will jeapordize our future, just to make a run at the playoffs in the short term.

Global Grind

Tim Kawakami remembers that:
But Gooden isn t the answer, and any money thrown after him by the Warriors would ve been wasted money. He would ve taken time from Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright (if Wright is still on the team this year), and that brings the Warriors nothing, especially since Gooden is such an erratic player.

Acrodunk

TD is not really sure about that:
Where has this been all year? Brendan touched on it Saturday, but it would be real bothersome if the Indians went on another meaningless second-half run and gave the Dolan s and Mark Shapiro another mirage of a reason to keep Wedge in 2010. Reality is the Indians are a very flawed team with a ton of holes that has failed to live up to expectations for the second year in a row. But for one weekend, they at least had their fun. Too bad nobody was watching.

Ocls

Brett Perryman/Contributor explains:
Anyway, off of that pedestal and on to the more realistic part of the blurb: the bats.Sheffield is actually having a nice season (.286/.388/.481), but it's been very similar to Andruw Jones' peaking early and sliding to an unimpressive J uly (.270/.341/.324). He's also been on the DL for a week with a tweaked hamstring. One would have to assume that any Rangers deal for Sheffield would involve the Mets picking up most of the remainder of his enormous contract ($14 million this year) and picking up something pretty small from Texas for their effort. Texas was rumored to have interest in Sheffield back in the offseason, and I'm as disinterested now as I was then.

Shelby Marx

In addition to this, Brett Perryman/Contributor states:
First, I've been saying this sort of thing since like May, but I have absolutely zero interest in giving Toronto Smoak and Holland, much less those two and two more "top guys." Halladay is a great pitcher, no doubt about that, but it's not a matter of how good Halladay is. 13 starts this year and about 29 (his full season average) next year is not wor th six full seasons of four quality players, not when the Rangers are just ramping up their team, not hitting their peak or seeing their window closing.

Realtytrac

Ben Nicholson-Smith explains:
If there has been a blockbuster trade between two teams in the divion give me an example because I can t think of there ever being one.

Walter Cronkite

Zack Meisel is absolutely sure that:
Other teams have shown interest in Lee- Boston, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Tampa, to name a few- and Boston and Tampa also displayed interest in Martinez. The Indians would be wise to make two separate deals to maximize their returns. If both are included in the same trade, itâs likely that Cleveland would get back ninety c ents on the dollar.

GM Brian Sabean says the team is considering "six to eight scenarios or names," some of which involve players on teams in the fringes of the playoff race.

Furthermore, there HAVE been big trades amongst division teams, and realistically, it wouldn t shock me in the least bit to see Halladay end up with the Red Sox.

Loney is a solid hitter in the heart of the Dodgersâ order, but the Tribe truly wouldnât be getting a whole lot in return that they donât already have.

If we don't make the playoffs this season, we'll be in great position to make it next season. No need to make desperate moves. Hang on to the prospects. No more stupid trades. PLEASE!!!!! report as objectionable

Ben Nicholson-Smith does a quick recap:
I agree with you that if a Player of Gonzalez calibur such as a Victor Martinez, Adam Dunn, Hanley Ramirez, or Carl Crawford (Tampa is quietly shopping him) is available you do everything you can to get that player in Orange and Black. But the price has to be right and your return has to be worth what you give up.

Salem Witch Trials

Drew Silva might have an idea about it:
If we trade Alderson, it has to be for a big bat...no mid range players like Garko. Rolen is too expensive to give up Alderson. I think the only way they get Rolen is to take all salary and give a mid level prospect. Posted by: 55saveslives | July 26, 2009 at 08:17 PM

For this purpose, Ben Nicholson-Smith suggests:
Fact is that there has never been a blockbuster trade between two teams in the same division. The Giants aren t willing to trade Buster or Bumgarner and without these 2 players San Diego doesn t trade Gonzalez. Sabean has said again and again that Bumgarner and Posey are untouchable. So forget the pipe dream of Gonzalez playing in Orange and Black it is plainly not going to happen and if you still think it has a chance of happening then you clearly dont understand the way baseball general managers operate and are thinking like a star stuck fan you might as well say the Giants can make a play for Pujols. ITs NEVER HAPPENING GET OVER IT PROVIDE ME WITH A REASONABLE OPINION!!! not an IRRATIONAL fantasy.

Make Me A Supermodel Winner

Similarly, Ben Nicholson-Smith adds:
Also, please stop with this "Posey and Bumgarner are untouchable" rhetoric. ALL prospects are expendable for the right price.

Vikatan

TD thinks that the problem is:
Friday night s 9-0 win featured four long balls and seven shutout innings from Aaron Laffey, who continues to prove that he is a mainstay in the Indians rotation for years to come. The left-hander allowed three hits and retired the last 13 batters he faced. Of his 21 outs, 17 of them came via the ground ball (his specialty) or the strike out. The bottom line here - Laffey had it goin on. As good as he was, the bats were even better. The game was finished off thanks to a five run ninth that featured back to back jacks from Ryan Garko and Jamey Carroll (his first of the year).

Meanwhile, Ben Nicholson-Smith came up with this idea:
I agree a trade for Gonzalez is highly unlikely. However, big trades within the same division aren t unheard of. The question is if the Giants have the talent (they do) and if theyre willing to part with some of it (sure, undetermined to what extent). Finally, something of high quality is usually going to require quality in exchange, this will most likey be painful but to me the potential pay off is worth enduring the initial discomfort if it means addressing an area of such pressing importance. I d just like to be assured somehow that Sabean is truly endeavoring to explore all options to their full extent. Not likely we ll ever be privey to that sort of information.

As bad as the Nationals need pitching, I wonder if they would listen to an offer for Zimmerman and then move Sandoval to first. i dont think the nationals should consider that. zimmerman is still very young and they should build the team around him. Posted by: t111592 | July 26, 2009 at 08:36 PM t11592, I guarantee they would listen to offers from the Giants on Zimmerman, but you would have to realize that our fearless Nats would be asking for the world for him, i.e. Baumgartner, et al. I don t think the Giants would want to risk that type of trade. Posted by: DC Nats Fan | July 26, 2009 at 11:25 PM

Tim Kawakami does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
On the year, the Giants are the worst-hitting road team in baseball: .243 average/.287 on-base/.352 SLG/.639 OPS. And they have 36 home games left.

In addition to this, Drew Silva states:
Shapiro is the best GM in the game in getting prospects for players.He just got the Cardinals #3 and #4 prospect for half a year of Mark DeRosa....after giving up our 19th, 28th, and an unranked prospect for him this winter. I d call that a win for the Indians.

Ben Nicholson-Smith scans the other's answers and reply:
The Giants rebounded from two woeful offensive stretches in the first half, so Sabean remains hopeful the club can do it again. The Giants will play 13 of their next 16 games at home, but that stretch includes series against the first-place Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Gonzalez of the 250 avg. and LH bat at ATT...Keep him. Giants weren t supposed to contend this year. It was a rebuilding and evaluation year. The pitching as expected was great, but now is flawed with RJ out. Big $$ comes off the books next year...Molina, Winn, Roberts, RJ, Lowry, Howry. Next year they have more oppurtunity. Any astute follower of them knows these things. Screw this season.The years ahead are more important. Posted by: mib | July 27, 2009 at 05:51 PM

Ben Nicholson-Smith considers that:
Posted by: The_Thrill_22 | July 27, 2009 at 04:21 PM SFG55, you may be right about Bumgarner. If I were Sabean I d definitely consider a packaged centered on Bumgarner. After all, Gonzalez is young (27), affordable (I believe $10 mil over the next 2 years), and can you imagine how he might hit with a little protection? I don t see any other possibly available players for whom I would consider including Bumgarner for, but A-Gon would definitely be worth considering for such a move Posted by: darkknight | July 27, 2009 at 04:27 PM

Drew Silva has another idea:
Would cost Alderson....so not sure the Giants will go that route though. Garko has better numbers than even Victor Martinez over their last 350-400 at-bats. They won t deal him lightly. VERY underrated as a hitter.

Ruby Keeler

As Drew Silva says:
Set a MAJOR LEAGUE RECORD for RBIs his rookie year and had 90 last year.If he had a manager with half a brain he d get 100 RBIs a year, but instead Wedge sits him 3 days a week.

Shuttle Launch

Zack Meisel is rather skeptical:
Realistically, there probably isn t a lineup and rotation that this team can put out next year that will compete for a World Series. And, therefore, this teamâs attendance and fan base will likely take a major hit. So, cut the losses now, and find the right deals for Lee and Martinez and anyone els e willing to be pried loose. At worst, at least the team clears some money off the books for next year, allowing the front office flexibility in pursuing free agents.

Casey Kasem

For this reason, Ben Nicholson-Smith says:
V-Mart will cost more than what the Cards gave up for Holliday b/c he s signed for longer and the Indians don t have to trade him for anything less than premier prospects. Posted by: nostocksjustbonds | July 27, 2009 at 04:10 PM

Berlusconi Party Pics

Mike Axisa does a quick recap:
"What would the Mets have to give up in order to get Garko? Would Parnell be enough?" Shapiro would probably sprain his wrist rushing to sign off on a Parnell for Garko deal. I don t think the asking price for Garko is very high. The Tribe is trying to make room for one of their plethora of 1B propsects: LaPorta, Brown even Marte. Posted by: MickS | July 26, 2009 at 01:54 PM

Mimi Beardsley

However, Ryan thinks differently:
Could be wrong, but I have a sense the Indians are working on a deal for Ryan Garko and that s why Andy Marte (.329, 17 HRs, 64 RBI, .958 OPS) has not been promoted. He will be brought up if the deal is made.

Sweetbreads

For this reason, Zack Meisel says:
That being said, a close look into the career statistics of Loney and Garko shows many similarities in their production.

French Open Tennis 2009

Before going any further, Anthony Stalter wants to get this straight:
- De spite Toronto GM J.P. Riccardi saying there is a very slim chance that a trade will happen, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that talks between the Phillies and Blue Jays remain intense. The paper also suggests that the Phillies could turn their attention to Cliff Lee if a deal for Halladay cannot be struck.

TD scans the other's answers and reply:
I saw somebody commented on Peralta padding his worthless stats. Any amount of grand slams or RBIs does not make up for his pathetic playing in the infield. Thank god he is moved to third, but still anybody else remember in the first inning yesterday he let a slow chopper get by to score 2 runs? He is useless no matter where he is, defensively and offensively.

Do you really think that being a season ticket holder makes you any kind of expert? Let s forget the fact that I go to most of the game s, and that I live 6 blocks from the park off of Third Street, and focus on the fact that you are the worst kind of Giants fan. You are the fan that is now content with building a team that is simply good enough to squeak into the playoffs and get eliminated. You have been sucked into this pathetic Sabean mold. Sabean rode the success of Bonds, and then proceeded to kill the organization with terrible contracts. After 4 losing seasons, pathetic fans like you are content to make minor deals and never consistently compete for the World Series.

Clinton Street Bakery

Drew Silva has another idea:
Posted by: Joe505 | July 26, 2009 at 10:03 PM Joe, it isn t as far-fetched as some of the other stuff that s been out there. I ll defer to the Jays fans out there, but my understanding is that they want to shed both contracts right away; doing so allows them more money to try and keep Halladay now that the potential deals are falling by the wayside. It does seem that JP has set the bar pretty high for teams to meet in order to land Halladay.

Jay Leno Last Show

In response, TD claims:
How will you feel if Shapetti ships Cliff Lee for what is unanimously seen by scouts across the league as second-tier prospects ?

Marcia Trimble

Ben Nicholson-Smith is not really sure about that:
There are premier prospect s in the Giants system that are expendable Guys like Villalona, Noonan or Crawford, Pucetas,and Henry Sosa. All of which are great prospects that are high on other teams list that you can give up and get a great player in return without sacrificing your future.

Ben Nicholson-Smith sees it this way:
If the rumors of the Indians loving Fred Lewis are true, please take him away. I ve been advocating for the past 2 weeks that the Giants should trade for V-Mart. Alderson, Sosa, Noonan and Frandsen (I dunno about Frandsen, name another infield prospect) for V-Mart. It addresses our needs and their needs. The Indians need pitching and infield help, the Giants need 1st base, a big bat and a true veteran presence. 4 days Sabean, let s go!! Posted by: sfgiants11 | July 27, 2009 at 03:42 PM

Lu Parker

For example, Ben Nicholson-Smith considers:
On, and this is exactly why the Giants are losers and the Red Sox are winners. The Giants are always content to stand bat and make minor additions (Nick Johnson, Freddy Sanchez, etc) while the Sox go big. They go big all the time. They are willing to take a chance and make a splash. They are willing to explore players that are supposedly "not on the trading block (Adrian Gonzalez)," and they are willing to give up talent. As long as the Giants continue with this approach, they will NEVER be consistent winners. The Sox will. Posted by: JT | July 27, 2009 at 07:19 PM

While it may be true, Ben Nicholson-Smith thinks:
Get Josh Willingham!! He s cheap, shouldn t cost a top prospect, and can be a 25-30 home run bat with a decent average.
