Just by virtue of being in the cleanup spot, I expect Posey to approach 100 RBIs again.

Sandoval forecast: .310/.385/.550

I think we will see 2009 season out of him.

Under. Cain is entering his prime and I expect him to improve his game.

Brandon Belt OPS over/under .815

I will be purchasing an HD TV next week from Costco. I have narrowed down my options to two televisions.

I like this deal. It's for $2M guaranteed. Great defense. Switch hitter. Able to spell all three OF positions. Most importantly, this sets up a platoon for LF:

Andres Torres vs. LHP career:...

Swisher wanting to come to SF must increase the Giants' interest. He would add tremendous balance to the lineup. His ability to switch hit and get on base at an above average clip would really help....

1. Angel Pagan CF
2. Marco Scutaro 2B
3. Pablo Sandoval 3B
4. Buster Posey C
5. Hunter Pence RF
6. Brandon Belt 1B
7. Scott Hairston/Gregor Blanco LF
8. Brandon Crawford SS

Getting close to...

1. Bourn CF
2. Scutaro 2B
3. Sandoval 3B
4. Posey C
5. Pence RF
6. Belt 1B
7. Blanco LF - would like to see a FA pickup here
8. Crawford SS

Realistic targets: Jeff Baker, Reed Johnson, Kelly Johnson, Omar Infante, Yunel Escobar, and Chris Denorfia. If we could acquire a couple of those names (especially one of Baker or R. Johnson; two of...

If the Giants could acquire two of the following, we would be in good shape.

Marco Scutaro
Omar Infante
Kelly Johnson
Yunel Escobar
Stephen Drew

Marginal upgrades at the MIF positions is...

You want to bench the NL's 3rd best 1B in OBP (min 200 PA)? Great.

Giants should only consider incremental upgrades that are low cost. The areas of need - or rather, positions that can be improved - are 2B, SS, and RP. The outfield is solidified with Cabrera, Pagan,...

Player A: .364 OBP, 17.2% BB%
Player B: .299 OBP, 1.5% BB%

Player A is Belt. Player B is Sanchez. I'll take the guy that gets on base much, much more than Sanchez. Belt is also a slick fielding...

Not worried. Extrapolate his numbers of a full season and he is on pace for 204 strikeouts. A pitcher with 204 strikeouts will not have an ERA above 6. Also, a BABIP of .353? Outrageous. Law of...

Stupid thread. Who has the fourth highest OBP on the team? He is a 1B. He also is the best 1B on the roster. He is also 24 years old. Every other franchise would start Belt, given our situation. We...

Player A: 24 years old, .364 OBP
Player B: 27 years old, .273 OBP
Player C: 35 years old, .292 OBP

It's that simple. The more you get on base, the probability of scoring runs increases. Play the...

If the Giants can upgrade their outfield at a reasonable price, they should. As of now, Cabrera, Pagan, and Blanco should play everyday. When Sandoval returns our lineup should look like this:

1....

Pagan CF, Cabrera RF, Sandoval 3B, Posey 1B, Pill LF, Sanchez C, Arias SS, Theriot 2B, Bumgarner P.

Belt's OBP is too high to play today, clearly.

120 games at catcher; 20 at 1B.

.290/.365/.500/20/95

Carlos Quentin was acquired by the Padres for two prospects that were not in their top ten according to BA.

So says the gentleman with "bosawx" in his signature.

Keith Law is an excellent writer. Read his blog - http://meadowparty.com/blog/

After approaching 600 AB's last year, I will be shocked if he plays in more than 100 games.

Giants didn't have room in their budget.

Depends on the financials and how many games he actually appears in.

Very disappointed in the Giants organization. Lose Beltran and Wheeler and get no compensation in return (clause in Beltran's contract). Absolute no return on a steep investment.
