Giant Chatter

From MLBTradeRumors:

"Henry Schulman at the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Giants brass, headed by managing general partner Bill Neukom, will meet to discuss the potential addition of payroll through a midseason deal. Schulman believes that though money might be there to acquire the big bat they covet, the cost in prospects might be the dealbreaker. Schulman writes:

"To get Mark DeRosa from Cleveland, the Cardinals had to part with a major-league, power bullpen arm (Chris Perez) and a player to be named who I understand will be a top-level prospect -- all for three months of DeRosa. Scott Hairston is a nice outfielder, too, but Billy Beane gave up three prospects to get him. Imagine, then, what it will take for GM Brian Sabean to extract a legitimate middle-order hitter."

Schulman reiterates GM Brian Sabean's stance against betting the farm on a three-month rental, and calls this a definite sellers' market. He goes on to note that there isn't a Ryan Braun in the clubhouse clamoring for a deal to improve the team, and concludes that this will likely be a quiet deadline for the Giants, "unless one or two teams fall by the wayside quickly, either competitively or financially."

Am I the only one who thinks the Giants can win the Wild Card with what they have? It makes no sense to trade! WHO IS OUT THERE that you can build your franchise around?! Dan Uggla and his .219 average? The Giants have young talent one or two years away, young strong SIGNED arms for the next couple years and a third baseman who can get more hits than CRAP!!! Ishikawa just chased a down and in BALL. In case you didn't know this is also a game thread. Ishikawa grounds out. When is Travis going to get it? Zito not looking bad. He almost looks coherent! When is someone going to come out with an answer to the ManRam hats with the dreds? A LinceCap. You know it's a matter of time. Waiting to see when Bowker comes up and if he knows what to do with a changeup. The Giants could use his pop. Thats my point. You have Bowker down in Fresno......Juan Uribe just jacked one out. What was I saying?
