January 7, 200818 yr QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) Too many people are underrating Crede's defense. Fields should be in LF or in the minors developing 3B defensive skills. No he shouldn't. He was beyond terrible in LF last year and any GM who keeps 30-40 HR out of it's lineup looking for what could be no more than a marginal improvement on defense should fit himself for a safety helmet because that guy is f***ing retarded. Crede's great defense has spoiled many. Fields can and will get better in the field, and his bat will at least help offset some of the mistakes he makes. If our defense sucks next year I bet the biggest reason will be because of pitching staff is walking too many guys, giving up too many home runs, and our starters 3-5 aren't working enough innings, leaving our s***ty front end of the bullpen exposed. I highly doubt Josh Fields' defense is a major factor. We're longshots to win the division as it is, so we should at least head into the '08 season looking to develop some young players. Thankfully, in Richar, Quentin, and Fields we have some guys out there that are worth the chance.
January 10, 200818 yr Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle believes the Giants may try to acquire either Rolen or Crede since talks with Pedro Feliz aren't going anywhere. the Giants might have to intensify trade talks for Scott Rolen, Joe Crede or any other third baseman who might be available. Link What do the Giants have that we might be interested in?
