With the recent rumors, it appears the Giants are going to be pretty proactive this winter in trying to upgrade the ML roster. Does anyone think they're going to try to win now, while trying to...

Greg Maddux - HOF pitcher, with well over 300 wins. Has played a lot on the West Coast lately for both SD and LA, would fit well in SF due to both the ballpark and he could help the younger...

Now I could only hope the Nats would stupid enough to part with him, you never know since it's Jim Bowden. I personally love Dukes potential. He may have some issues, but like Milton Bradley or...

Just thought I would pass along just how eerily similar the two are. Both were phenoms coming up through the PCL back in 2005. Hernandez got promoted first, and Cain led the PCL in K's that year I...

I know it's been brought up before, but it looks like 2009 could be shaping up as a 1986 type of season for the Giants. An infusion of young talent as starting players, and a chance to surprisingly...

So I was watching a documentary on Tigers HOF'er Hank Greenberg the other day, and it got me to thinking about who some of the most underrated players in the history of the game are. Greenberg is...

Yet again they have made a great 2nd half surge despite losing Carlos Lee for the year and trading for Randy Wolf and LaTroy Hawkins. WTF!?! Where the hell did they come from seriously? They're...

In the chat about the hot sheet, John Manuel said this.... http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/prospect-hot-sheet/2008/266783.html  Q:  Steve from San Francisco asks: With the...

They're only 7 games out and they're playing well of late. They've been hanging around the past 2 months or so. Holliday, Stewart and Hawpe have all been hot lately at the plate. Their pitching...

I guess we don't need Nate to fill 3B anymore. According to Kruk during the postgame show tonight Pablo has been taking grounders at third and first. I was under the impression that they had...

He's a FA this off-season. He's a considerable injury risk, but he's also shown more power and an improved walk rate both in 2006 and 2007 when he was healthy enough to play for the Rays.(better BB...

I felt Rotoworld's list was complete shit so I made my own. Left off a couple of guys like Jordan Schafer (was never THAT high on him due to his poor contact rate prior to last year's breakout then...

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, hear me out. Try to push your personal feelings for Lincecum aside (we all love the guy). However, when one considers the large rebuild that it will take...

The Phillies have reached an agreement with the Oakland Athletics to acquire right-handed pitcher Joe Blanton. Blanton is 5-12 this season after going 14-10 with a 3.95 ERA last season. The...

http://www.baseballamerica.com/online/prospects/prospect-pulse/2008/266482.html   ...One question mark for Bumgarner has been the future potential of his breaking ball. Bumgarner scrapped the...

Ok so all of these previews have me wetting my pants. Who else is going into full nerd mode at the prospects of this potentially epic blockbuster movie? The last installment was very good, and this...

Shortly after the Milwaukee Brewers finalized a trade for reigning American League Cy Young Award winner CC Sabathia on Monday, the Daily News learned that sometime in the days leading up to that...

Now I know this is highly unlikely given the way the Giants treated him, but given that the team could legitimately be "contenders" for the NL West by the All-Star Break, should or would the Giants...

According to Chronicle Giants Beat Writer, Henry Schulman that is!   Briefly: Some scouts believe Randy Winn will be a hot name as the July 31 trade deadline approaches. One team with apparent...

    Now this might be considered a dumb move, but I think its worth the risk. When Ishikawa was promoted in early 2006, he actually did quite well for someone who had only played a few games...
