Seems like the Giants are still taking a look at Brandon Inge to play 3B. From the Chronicle this morning, emphasis mine:
The Giants reportedly are scouting Detroit’s Brandon Inge, the third baseman who wants to be traded because he’s playing behind Miguel Cabrera. The Tigers would need to pick up some of the $19.1 million [...]

A common rumor that’s been floated among Giants fans all offseason is trying to acquire Nick Johnson from the Nationals. The 29-year-old first baseman is a career (.272/.395/.458) hitter over the parts of 6 seasons. In 2006, while posting a career season — an OPS+ of 149 — Johnson collided with teammate Austin Kearns while [...]

Joe Crede heading westward to the Giants is the new rumor that just-won’t-die.
From a White Sox Blog hosted on the Chicago Sun-Times:
Joe Crede: The whispers around the organization still seem to point to the idea that if the third baseman shows up to camp and the back looks strong he will be gone by the [...]

The Giants have announced 15 players who got the invite for spring training. Non-roster invites are usually a mix of long-shot players who’ve either played in the minors forever or have had injuries that have delayed their careers and younger rookies hoping to break camp with the big club. Let’s take a look at the [...]

Getting back to the baseball world after a very-nice Thanksgiving has made me a little sluggish. No, it’s not just all that turkey I ate. The holiday break was fantastic and refreshing but there just isn’t much baseball news happening lately and the current dialog among Giants’ fans seems to hinge around the same conversations, [...]

A quick blurb from GM Brian Sabean in a recent MLB.com article detailing the Omar Vizquel signing:
“Third base is what we’re presently going to work on,” Sabean said. “I think that definitely has to be the first thing we try to address.”
Sabean said that Feliz, who has averaged 21 home runs and 84 RBIs [...]

The Contra Costa Times has a article on Ray Durham and his no-trade clause:
He indicated that he wouldn’t stand in the way of a deal, particularly if the Giants plan to use him as a bench player. But he isn’t pushing for a change of scenery, either.
“I always wanted to be in the East [...]

I’m not even sure how to begin this post because the sheer absurdity of the Matt Morris trade is still swimming around in my head. It’s probably unwarranted to an extent, but Matt Morris had quickly climbed my chart of most annoying Giants. Not only was he causing waves in the clubhouse, he hit a [...]
A quick post this morning on a interesting rumor that I read this morning from Fox’s Ken Rosenthal.
Quoting from an article entitled ‘First basemen hot deadline commodities’:
The Mariners, blanketing the majors with scouts in their pursuit of rotation and bullpen help, are drawing mild inquiries on first baseman Richie Sexson.
Trading Sexson would enable the team [...]
Another bat. More lumber. Getting another hitter. This is probably the #1 item atop most fans wish list. Hitting has picked up lately but adding another strong bat to the lineup would make things look nicer. Much nicer. Bonds is still playing out of his gourd and you hope that he can hold up for [...]
