Now That the post season is just a dream

So basically Sabean traded SF's second best pitching prospect for a midget that couldn't play everyday who was already damaged goods. Fail boat.

Just another reason why I feel that Sabean needs to go along with the medical staff. Signing off on dammaged goods are you serious? Giving up a pitching prospect that would could have traded to someone else?

Bengie Molina most likely will not be a Giant next season

Wow, that trade looks so horrible now considering that Sabean was trying to sell everyone on the fact that these guys were gonna stick around for longer. Garko didn't even play! We could have had V-Mart or Holliday if it was a rent-a-player situation!

God this makes me mad.

Anyone who saw the presser the day of the trade knew Sanchez wasn't interested in staying here.

He was completely deflated and probably immediately decided to tank the at bats the would have triggered the option.

We don't want to pay him 8 mil next year and I say cut that bait. You won't know about the trade for a while but it sure was more wasted money.

I hope when the ownership group ponies up to cover the shortfall they tell Neukom that this is the last time they want to get hit up for FA payroll mistakes.

Other than Molina and Affeldt he hasn't landed any solid production in free agency in five years now.

The money paid to the parade of scrubs since Benitez was basically paid to leave is laughable if it weren't so tragic is it's cost to the future. To pay Sanchez 2 mil on top of that when it was clear he was hurt and wouldn't want to play here is really thumbing your nose in ownerships face. You'd think he worked for AIG.

Alderson may develop into something but he was blocked in getting to the majors by a better pitcher and it's not like Bumgarner has had an electric impact at this level.

Hopefully the fiscal mismangement will seal the case (and the book) on the Sabean regime.

One wonders exactly how the behind the scenes machinations of the end of the Bonds Era worked but I would be interested to know how much input McGowan, Sabean, Bonds, Sue Burns and others held sway over the decisions that were made following the departure of Kent.

I think most agree now that his presence as competition/motivation to Bonds and his eventual absence and non-replacement led to the competitive downfall during the years of the HR record chase.

We'll see soon enough.

Looks like they are going to re-sign the moron. Great!

looks like both morons. Kiss 2010 goodbye. It will be an exciting season that will tease us all year but in the end fall flat again. Heart attacks aplenty for the Giants and their fans next year

list of all available free agents.

I am sure most of the high level guys will be retained by their current teams, but I would love SF to go after someone like Blalock and Abreu.

Blalock is coming off a down season and a few injures, but he does look healthy over all. Him at 3B and Pablo at 1B would hold down the corners.

Abreu is just a consistent performer where ever he goes.

Quantify "Everyone"?
