Ramblings...

This from Brian Sabean when asked if the Giants would make a move this year to improve the Gigantes offense:
"That's our job," Sabean said. "You have to listen. You never know what's going to get thrown your way. That kind of deal would be attractive. But as we sit here, we're not going to trade our young pitching. The baseball world knows that. Is there a way to strike an accord around that? I don't know."

So here is my question: if they trade, say, Cain, and get a bat, say Adrian Beltre, how does that make the Giants better? Oh yea, they go from being a cellar dweller to an also ran but isn't that what they have been for the last umpteen years? The goal is to win the World Series is it not? I'll give credit to Sabean for being patient (so far) but I like other Giant fams are waiting.....waiting for the Giants to shoot themselves in the gonads. There is no equal value to what the Giants have that EVERY other team is trying to get. Young potentially dominant pitching. Lincecum struck out 13 last night. Cain, despite no run support is pitching very well. If anybody has lost more 0-1 games I'd like to know who. Sanchez is showing signs of being an ace on any other team and when he's on the dude is as dominant as the others. Thats a starting three that in the next two years no other team will be able to match. Of course Zito, once they put him in that five spot where he belongs will give the team a fifty fifty shot and that fourth spot will be filled by the next young arm coming down the pike. With Buster Posey on the horizon and if Velez can show he can hit MLB balls with pop then the Giants can pick and choose the guy best suited for this team via free agency by going after a young stud much like they did when they signed Bonds at 28 years old. What this team needs is to take a loooong hard look at Bowker, Burriss, Ortmeier and the others and see where they fit in. Fred Lewis is here to stay and gives them speed. Time IS on the Giants side.
