Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

 

[lightweight champion]

He's going to have to add a few more kicks to his walk up.

Panda is going to be petted all weekend long. I'm jelly.

 

[4one5]

I ain't eem mad at Panda. He deserves it.

 

[dland24]

Oh I'm not mad either. I am just saying that a young guy who has weight problems and was just accused of rape should probably avoid places like Las Vegas.

Andres Torres is back with Giants on 1 Year Deal

 

[rawex5]

Gregor Blanco's splits last year:

vs. Left .248 .333 .361 .694
vs. Right .242 .332 .335 .667

For Career:

vs. Left .229 .325 .307
vs. Right .262 .358 .340 .698

Andres Torres's splits last year:

vs. Left .286 .382 .381
vs. Right .194 .291 .308

For Career:

vs. Left .258 .340 .403
vs. Right .233 .311 .382

So Torres is going to face the lefties and Blanco with face the righties. I guess.

Just raise the prices of the damn Panda hats and sign Swisher. But according to the Giants they are "tapped out."

 

[dland24]

It honestly disgusts me that our management claims we are "tapped out" of funds. Seriously?!? Its like we have had a printing press at AT&T Park over the past 3 years and could have printed any money we wanted. Look, I am thrilled with the success of the team over the past 3 years. Cant complain at all.

But moving forward, if we want to sustain the success, we need to keep improving. This offseason, we did NOT improve. But if you look at all the other NL competitors, they ALL got better. Nationals got better. Reds got better. Dodgers (although cant declare them competitors yet) got better. Phillies got better. But we did not.

I am not saying that we need to compete with the Dodgers and sign everyone we could. But Nick Swisher as our everyday left fielder would cost, what Torres' salary +6 Million? I am sorry but the way that we have been generating revenue the last 3 years, combined with some massive contracts expiring this offseason, there is no reason why we couldnt cant add a Nick Swisher type player.

We need some damn pop!

 

[lightweight champion]

Welcome back, Andres.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

So we are done? :x I wanted swisher in LF

 

[rawex5]

They didn't improve the club in 2011 and we know what happened.

Tim Lincecum returning back to form would be a huge improvement for the team.

I really hope Brandon Belt has a break out year and Crawford bats over .250.

 

[rawex5]

Source: Ichiro not only has 2 yr/$14M offer from Phillies, but 2 yr/$15M offer from team believed to be the Giants. Will take less from NYY.

See, I dont understand this in the slightest bit. So we are apparently "tapped out" as far as money for Free Agents. Then we give Andres Torres, a replacement level player, $2M. Then we offer Ichiro $7.5M. So why is it we havent offered Swisher a contract again? Surely he wont be getting much more than $9.5M a year right? He said he wants to play here. Sign him up!!!

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

I agree. Dodgers are making it Rain and we are not even upgrading LF

 

[rawex5]

Swisher, 32, batted .272/.364/.473 with 24 home runs, 93 RBI and an .837 OPS this past season. He turned down a one-year, $13.3 million qualifying offer from the Yankees to test free agency, so whoever signs him will have to surrender a draft pick.

I'd say he wants between 12-15. 3-4 years.

He wants to come here, so let the man come here.

 

[chris82790]

Can't believe I'm hearing this news regarding Swisher. We need to sign him and stop with this idea of platooning outfielders depending on a righty or lefty pitching for the opponent. He'll add much needed power from the bottom of the lineup.

Pagan, Scutaro, Sandoval, Posey, Pence, Swisher, Belt, and Crawford sounds like wonders but our front office is too damn cheap.

 

[lazyj10]

We're not signing Swisher, I'd bet on it.

Torres concludes the OF through FA. I saw it coming too...

 

[lazyj10]

That's also the first time I've seen anything about Ichiro...Who sourced it?

With our luck it'd be like having Shinjo back.

 

[offbad]

With our luck it'd be like having Shinjo back.

Source says Yankees and Ichiro close to finalizing two-year contract worth $12-13 million. Two sides putting finishing touches on deal.

 

[TheGodFresco]

If we don't offer swisher anything...

 

[what upp]

Having the old Lincecum and Pence actually hitting like a major leaguer = our FA additions.  

I've come to terms with it.

Where do you guys think Wilson ends up?  

If Lincecum has another subpar season, do ya'll think the Giants let him explore the FA market?  Or will he be traded?

 

[lazyj10]

I meant who tied Ichiro to the Giants?

What Up brings up an interesting point - while we're printing money we still need money for Posey and perhaps Timmy depending on how he does...then Pence as well if he does well...

Timmy is a hard one cuz I couldn't ever picture him in any other uniform...I can't see the team not wanting to get something for him if they don't want to bring him back versus letting him walk.
