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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A few rumors floating around recently that the White Sox would like to acquire Omar Vizquel for Juan Uribe and probably a pitching prospect. Uribe has had some off season trouble being involved in a shooting. The White Sox heavily pursued Omar before he signed with the Giants during the 2004-2005 off season. The Sox [...]

The offseason is like that Hispanic soap opera that you’ll sometimes find yourself watching around lunch. You can’t understand half the stuff thats happening but its still grossly entertaining. It’s also the perfect time for half-brained crazy trade scenarios that everyone loves to cook up. Albert Pujols and Adam Wainwright for Brad Hennessey and a [...]

Just a quick blurb on Pat Burrell this morning, Philly.com is reporting that Burrell would agree to waive his no-trade clause to play in San Francisco. I just posted earlier this week that Burrell would be a great fit for the Giants and that a big stumbling block would be his no-trade clause, which seems [...]
