The Giants optioned Emmanuel Burriss, who was in an 0-for-27 slide, and purchased the contract of Matt Downs from Triple-A Fresno. To create a 40-man spot, Triple-A catcher Steve Holm was [...]

Writing about things the Giants should do is like trying to craft the perfect sandwich out of the worst ingredients imaginable. You really want a sandwich. You’re starved but when you look in your cabinet all you can find pickles, coffee grinds, marmite, and half-used jar of bacon flavored Cheez Whiz. The perfect sandwich? Well, [...]

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 [...]

A very quick post today. I just got off work and my brain is cooked. This 2008 Giant briefly played for the team and had almost the same amount of PA’s that Burriss has had so far this year. I didn’t include the positional adjustments because that would give away the player — and this [...]

Hot off the BaggsPress: Kevin Frandsen was called into Bruce Bochy’s office this morning and left in street clothes. The Giants just gave the official word: he has been optioned and will begin the season at Triple-A Fresno. All signs pointed to this yesterday. Jesus Guzman confirmed he has been reassigned to minor league camp. [...]

Positionally, when you think about the Giants, most everything is in it’s right place. First base had been claimed by Travis Ishikawa. The outfield — headed by Fred Lewis, Aaron Rowand, and Randy Winn — is set. Bengie Molina will return as the starting catcher. Edgar Renteria will start his Giants career at shortstop and [...]

Today’s post is similar to yesterday’s post, I’m using the same plot format but instead of using 2008 data, I thought I would plot some projections for 2009. I’m a big fan of ZiPS — a free projection system from BBTF — and I think it’s one of the better systems out there. Again, we’ll [...]

A thrilling start from Lincecum last night in which he just barely missed his first career complete game. Lincecum cruised through the game until he reached the 9th inning, hit some bumps, and had to be pulled because of pitch count. Lincecum has been and is still one of the biggest reasons to watch this [...]

The online Giants community has been perkin’ this past weekend. The team won a series against the Cardinals, which featured more Lincecum goodness with a side of Bowker power, and made a roster move that has some scratching their heads and others going “meh”. Let’s talk about the roster move that took place. The Giants [...]
