We're ...We appreciate Sabean over at Razzball.com. We're running a roto league where you have to draft the worst team possible. Top round Giants selections includes:<BR/><BR/>Rich Aurilia - Great powerless stats at the 1B/3B position<BR/><BR/>Dan Ortmeier - A find at 1B/OF<BR/><BR/>Omar Vizquel - We don't count SB so he's as good as gold to underperform league averages in R/HR/RBI and even AVG.<BR/><BR/>Dave Roberts - Again, no SB so this guy is a 1st round pick if he had guaranteed playing time.<BR/><BR/>Aaron Rowand - How bad will his stats regress? .270/15/75?<BR/><BR/>Randy Winn - Solidly mediocre.<BR/><BR/>Rajah Davis - Can put up mediocre stats if only given the chance.<BR/><BR/>Ray Durham - Can't expect another .210 season and still has moderate power. A late-round 2B selection.<BR/><BR/>Net/net, LOVE/HATE their lineup.<BR/><BR/>I hope they find 400 AB for Velez to give the fans some excitement. I think he could be a Chone Figgins type.<BR/><BR/>At least the (starting) pitching has promise....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-21117130847442945522008-03-18T12:35:00.000-04:002008-03-18T12:35:00.000-04:00It turns out Sabean is about as good a chemist as ...It turns out Sabean is about as good a chemist as he is a mathematician.<BR/><BR/>There was in article on the Giants mlb.com website just 2 days ago explaining that the Giants have 9(!) bullpen candidates competing for only 4 available spots on the roster. Take out Chulk and now it's 8. You're telling me none of those guys are expendable? Pat Misch is the key to the franchise's future?<BR/><BR/>Plus two of those guys, Threets and Valdez, are out of minor league options, so they're going on waivers anyway if they're not kept on the roster. It just makes no sense.<BR/><BR/>Excuse my venting, it's tough times for Giants fans.Mr Lomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07043467547490085497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-84614995432872813122008-03-18T12:00:00.000-04:002008-03-18T12:00:00.000-04:00APBA Guy-I expect you to have much amusement at th...APBA Guy-<BR/><BR/>I expect you to have much amusement at the expense of the Giants this year, and get no argument from any of us in the Bay Area about anything derisive you say towards the men in black and orange.<BR/><BR/>In our office pool I have the Giants at 102 losses-worse than last year's Nationals by far. I tried to start a pool for how many homers the Giants would hit out to left field. I took zero, and interest in the pool immediately collapsed.<BR/><BR/>On the plus side, this may be the first year that you can get decent seats on a walk-up basis at AT & T park.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
