The Giants have acquired RHP Michael Main as the PTBNL in the Molina-to-Texas deal. Quite frankly, this trade just went from pretty good to really good. Main was the Rangers 1st round pick (24th overall) in the 2007 draft. In John Sickels’ 2010 prospect ranking for the Rangers, he placed Main as the #6 overall [...]

Hot off the heels of my Much Ado About Molina post, the Giants have traded Bengie Molina to the Rangers for RHP Chris Ray and a PTBNL. Slim details from SFGiants.com: The Rangers acquired Giants catcher Bengie Molina on Wednesday in a trade that sends reliever Chris Ray and a player to be named later [...]

I’ve always contended that the Giants are a team that, when losing, are going to look really, really, bad. Maybe even worse than they actually are. The Giants style is as follows: Hope that the offense can scrap together enough runs to support the stellar pitching. When the pitching takes the night off, we’re going [...]

I don’t think I like this. Off-the-cuff-thoughts: I’m not sure how much the 2010 team has improved. Sanchez will be better than the group of second basemen that the Giants ran out in 2009, but he’s an injury risk in a playergroup that’s tended to age poorly. Mark DeRosa in LF nets the Giants zero [...]

There’s not much left for Buster Posey to prove in the minor leagues. In 2009, the young catcher put up a .433 wOBA in San Jose in 80 games, was promoted to Fresno, and put up a .390 wOBA in 35 games. If a slash-line is more your thing, Buster has a career .327/.421/.538 minor [...]

I’m not even going to mention the 10-3 loss last night to the Dodgers. It’s salt in an open wound. Sand in your eye. With the Giants’ odds of winning the Wild Card dwindling all the way down to a 2.7% chance, it seems rather silly to worry about wins and losses right now. It [...]

Tim Lincecum is good. It’s almost like he should get some sort of award. Something like: “Award for Guy Who Throws Good” or something. Nah, it’ll never happen. Watching Lincecum throw another CG against the A’s last night was just what the doctor ordered after watching Sanchez struggle against a largely punchless hitting A’s team. [...]

Prepare for a bold statement: The Giants’ offense isn’t very good. I hope you were sitting down but it’s true, the Giants offense has done more sputtering this season than anything else. A graph and then a bunch of words. This basic graph shows how many runs the Giants have scored thus far in their [...]

In yesterday’s game, a wet and rain-soaked affair, the Giants were shut down by a complete game Jason Marquis start. Marquis has never been a dominant starter, but over the past few years he’s been above replacement level and occasionally a useful rotation piece. Since 2004 he’s posted win values of: 1.9, 0.7, -0.6, 1.7, [...]

The Giants haven’t scored many runs, but their pitching has looked quite good at times. Excluding last night’s 8-run outburst, since April 16th the Giants have scored a total of 7 runs — or 1.4 runs per game. The Giants have the 2nd lowest team wOBA in the baseball at the moment. Their score of [...]
