  1. Wouldnt need to throw in any money. Their contracts are almost identical. 9 mill vs. 10 mill.
  2. I know its been talked about for over a year; but is signing Leury Garcia to a 3 yr./ 16.5 million dollar contract a fireable offense. I didnt dream this up this morning …. Ive been pounding the table since the day it was signed. Why 3 years?….Hanh or whoever authorized this should be held accountable!
  3. We are probably not keeping Burger and are not selling low on Eloy, Yoan or Louis Robert. Next offseason does not look promising with some dead weight contracts. (Kelly, Grandal & Garcia are owed 30 million next year and have a combined war of less than zero. Thats 30 million dead dollars before the season starts.
  4. The thing I never hear anyone questioning is why Grandal is in the DH role when hes hitting under .200 and has 3 HRs the entire season. This alone is reason for Tony to be fired. Grandal & Garcia should be released today! Both are sunk costs to the org.
  5. Do we sign Abreu with Vaughn, Eloy, Sheets and Burger all bat first guys? Not signing Abreu would free up 20 million in addition to 24 million coming off the books with Keickel, Harrison and Velazques contracts. Could use that money to sign Giolitto and sign a good everyday 2nd baseman.
  6. Spot on analysis. Signing Abreu going forward will be a huge mistake.

    I hope were done with Jose. I have this sick feeling Jerry will give him another 3 yr contract. This will furthur block Eloy, Vaughn & Sheets. we made the same with Konerko.
  8. If you want to really try a retool …… move Abreu at the deadline. Also move AJ Pollack and his 10 million dollar salary. That frees up 30 million for next year. In addition Velazques, Keickel and Harrison all come off the books, freeing up an additional 25 million. That gives us 55 million to retool in FA. Heres where it gets tricky……. Dont go on the cheap, sign 2 and only 2 free agents. After that is done extend Giolitto. With the 55 million sign a pitcher and a 2 nd baseman. We have Colas at WS and he and Engle can patrol RF. We cant keep going with 2 weak spots defensively in the OF.

  10. They pay less than $ 1.00 for that domestic beer.
  11. Anyone with an apple phone or ipad or apple music could have watched this game.

    Very well said, we have 3-4 guys who could be as productive for 1/8 th of the price. This was a very poor move by RH/KW.
  13. Not too disappointed with Hahns offseason. It does seem that he makes at least one obvious mistake every offseason. Like the Alonso fiasco in 2018. the Mazara experiment in 2020 and last years fiasco with Adam Eaton. No glaring blunders this year but it just cant wrap my head around paying Leury Garcia 5.5 million a years for 3 years. My biggest concern is why 3 years. He plays 6 position but is average or below average at all 6 spots. I didn't come up with these thought this morning, felt that way as soon as I saw the contract but now Im just piling on. This guy is not as valuable as Engle who makes 2 million.
  14. They seem to have totally misread the market. If they cant move Kimbrel for Segura. Just keep Kimbrel and go hard for kris Bryant. Move Moncada back to 2b and slide KB to 3b. It seems were behind the 8 ball.
  15. Would Giants give up Tommy LaStella for Kimbrel? Tommy is due 16 million over next 2 seasons and hits well from left side? Giants have some money coming off payroll after 2022 ….thoughts?
