Free Agent Predictions

[Leandres_sf]

I could really pass on Bourn's money to Swisher, im more than content with Blanco as the starting leadoff CF..i just wonder who would be the backup CF

Peguero? Or sign an inexpensive Sizemore and use Blanco as the 4th OF.

[Scully in 2012]

Dodgers planning on an 8-man rotation next year or something?

If that's what it takes. After Cain there isn't a huge drop off for you guys. We have KERSHAW an then Bills, Beckett, Cap, Harang,???

I would bet we get two solid pitchers - Ryu (hope he isn't hype, Grienke, Haren or Sanchez - before it's all over. I we get two we will trade Cap am Harang...our rotations will be very equal then (if we get Grienke we have the edge)..should be a gods season.

Want Wilson? He'll show Kershaw how to grow a real beard...

Na, Jansen is better (I know tech League is the closer)

[4GiantWarrior9]

Peguero? Or sign an inexpensive Sizemore and use Blanco as the 4th OF.

nice, i wouldn't oppose to Peguero or Sizemore

[Greedy22]

Sucks, I was really hoping the Giants would have been able to get him on a similar deal.


I hope the Giants dont panic and over pay for Pagan. I think we really have to go after Bourn now.

He's asking for way too much

Na, Jansen is better (I know tech League is the closer)

Actually....every time I see Belisario he has nasty stuff. Whenever he came in the game the Giants didn't look like they had a chance. I think he is better than Jansen (definitely better than League)

[rcs15]

Belisario is a quality arm, but Jansen is probably one of the top 5 relievers in the league. Other than Kimbrel and Chapman he might be my third choice of relievers

[PatelJ1010]

1. Zack Greinke- Dodgers (They need a #1/2 with Kershaw and they have unlimited $$)
2. Josh Hamilton- Giants (They want him, but not for that baggage. If price goes down)
3. Michael Bourn- Reds
4. Anibal Sanchez- Royals (They want pitching and willing to spend)
5. B.J. Upton- Phillies
6. Nick Swisher- Rangers
7. Edwin Jackson- Rays (if James Shields is traded. if not than Marlins)
8. Dan Haren- Dodgers (Hardest Pick)
9. Hiroki Kuroda- Yankees
10. Kyle Lohse- Dodgers
11. Angel Pagan- Giants
12. Shane Victorinio- Braves

24. Stephen Drew- A's
25. Joe Saunders- Marlins

27. Kevin Youkilis- Phillies
28. Francisco Liriano- White Sox

[PatelJ1010]

Where do you guys think Ichiro Suzuki will sign?

I think he should be on most teams radar.

[SFrush90]

He's not that good anymore. Still good defensively, but his hitting has declined. I hope he's more of a last resort for us.

[ESaady]

Ichiro would go all Randy Winn if he signed with us. Mwhahaha

[rcs15]

I really do think Ichiro is like the prototypical Brian Sabean FA signing. It would not surprise me in the least if he is on our team in 2013.

[sfgiants1213]

It'd be cool to have Ichiro because he's Ichiro. But it would also suck to have Ichiro because he is Ichiro.

[ESaady]

I had a weird dream he signed with the Rangers...then we got Stanton in the same dream.
