One or the other?

The unlikely run for the postseason by the Giants in 2009 very well could result in extensions to both Bruce Bochy and Brian Sabean. Keith Law alluded to this in a recent chat:

I imagine that the Giants' run at the wild card means job security for Bochy and Sabean, even though Bochy seems to have his own level of managerial fail.

However, if you’re a Giants fan, you would probably rather see at least one of these two individuals given their walking papers (perhaps even both). So I ask the question: If you could only choose one of the two to be replaced, who would it be?

"Jeff Kent is a Wall of Famer.

Upon his retirement after last season, Kent became eligible for induction on the Giants’ Wall of Fame by virtue of his All-Star appearance with the club. He’ll be formally inducted and recognized on Saturday, Aug. 29, and the Giants have set up a conference call with the media for Monday."

"They’ve also spoken to San Diego about a deal that would send starter Jonathan Sanchez to the Padres for outfielder Scott Hairston."

According to Baggs, the Giants have signed third-rounder Chris Dominguez out of Louisville. Baggs says he will probably head to Salem-Keizer soon.

This shows the status of all the Giants draft picks. As stated, players who have signed are in bold. So far, the only player to have signed is the Giants 10th round pick, RHP Jeremy Toole out of Brigham Young.

UPDATE: According to Schulman, the Giants have signed 23 of their 50 picks, the highest being seventh-rounder 2B Nick Liles out of Western Carolina University. (Schulman calls him Steven Liles, but both the BA list and the MLB.com Draft Tracker refer to him as Nick)

That's the link to the actual Baggs article. For those that want to go straight to the picture, click here. Try and see if you can find him before you scroll down to see which one he is.

Just got ESPN: The Magazine in the mail today. It's good to see that Tim is getting all sorts of love from the national media.

Giants-related Christmas gifts

I thought it would be fun to share any Giants-related Christmas gifts that we all received. I got a really cool picture that shows the progression of the Giants jersey through the history of the organization:

Feel free to share anything Giants that you've received in past years as well. A couple years ago, I received season tickets. That was probably the best gift I have ever received.

If you didn't receive any Giants-related gifts, then share the coolest gift you received period.
