2013 Offseason Discussion: Part 3

[sfgiants5518]

Blanco was a surprise minor league signee that turn out to be gold for us. We might be able to find a RH version of him.

Andres Torres.

[Leandres_sf]

I think either Casilla or prospects.

I think it'll be Casilla as well. Moving him creates the flexibility needed to fit a good LF bat into the budget.

Andres Torres is pretty much a RH version of Blanco. He's a little older, but very similar.

Giants are already looking for a RHP for the bullpen. Trading Casilla means they'll have to sign 2. One likely being at least an 8th inning setup guy. Maybe they sign 2 setup guys.

By than Dodgers would have a payroll of 300 Million. Thank God for Revenue Sharing!!

why? the intended purpose is to help teams with less revenue keep their players, and we have yet to see these chronically cheap teams do it.

yeah but any one of quality will want to be paid and the giants are at the payroll limit aren't they?

My guess is we get to Offseason Thread Part 5.

#SignSwisher

I see it us getting to 5 as well.

Offseason rally cry?

little snipit from the site that shall not be named:

One evaluator told ESPN.com's Buster Olney that the Giants are still a better team than the Dodgers despite Los Angeles' aggressive spending. The Dodgers have questions on the left side of the infield and might be vulnerable against left-handed pitching, Olney writes.

Don't have ESPN insider, but that would be an interesting read

Smart man, that team hasn't played together. People aren't going to jump on the bandwagon like they did with the Angels last year.

MONEY can't buy you championships (ask New York) Love that Dodgers have enough starters for 2 rotations lol Hahaha

[LASportsFan1996]

That's a good problem to have

[spliff(TONE)]

It's going to be so much even more awesomeness if/when the Dodgers miss the playoffs again next season.

Money has bought the yankees many championships, its the way they spent the money when things have gone wrong

[PatelJ1010]

Spending too much can be dangerous especially in the situation like the Yankees. Aging veterans with almost no prospects to come up and help.

I hope Mr.LA saw this..especially the part that says 'the Giants are still better than the dodgers'
