Giants are at their payroll limit

Not a bad thing putting the same roster out there that just won a ws, and most of the same roster from 2010.

We don't need your consoling.. go away. And the 2012 roster was dramatically different than 2010.

LF is a glaring hole though and Swisher has said he'd like to play in San Francisco.. Idk how you don't consider signing him

It'll turn out to be one of those things where Swisher will say that the Giants never even contacted him.

Sadly, I'm sure you're right. At least the Giants didn't give up a top prospect for him before never calling.

That's depressing to even think about and knowing our organization you're most likely right.

Playing in the postseason won't be a problem, but getting there will. Giants don't have the luxary of playing the Astros 9 times this year, their schedule will be much more difficult. They have the most travel by far this year.

Agreed.

With all do respect......No one here is Familiar with baseball operations, Unfortunately we must consider maybe it isn't as simple as just contacting a players agent and getting it done, this business is personal, full of stigmas, relationships and all kinds of human interactions that we could never understand in the first place...

Don't get so bummed out there are so many factors that go into acquiring players including ownership, people's families and personal values and beliefs....it's baseball..

Keep it real, I want swisher too, he fits in here of course in a perfect world, but **** is complicated that's how it is..so please don't bum me out anymore cuz I doubt well make any moves to actually improve LF

[SFrush90]

Of course we understand there's more to it than just calling the guy up, offering him a contract, and him signing. But they can do more than their pathetic platoon.

[hd1906]

I'm complaining for the sake of complaining...since it's the offseason and there is nothing else for me to focus on..

[SFGIANTSFAN32]

If the Giants dont get a bat/Swisher than you can bet that Sabean will acquire someone at the trade deadline

[SFrush90]

Which is dumb.

[hd1906]

What?^ Regardless of what takes place before the season begins, I trust and like a move around the trade deadline when we know exactly what were looking for/need and when more players are most likely available, let sabes do his thing...longest tenured GM in the game right now!
