The Bullpen??


Assuming they stick with an 11 man pen. I don't know how they possibly could....

Is this our pen starting in April?

Chulk
Taschner
Kline
Hennessey (7th)
Walker (SU)
Wilson (CL)

Where does that leave Sanchez? Possibly traded for Crede?

Threets and Valdez have also put up strong cases for a spot. Threets will be gone if not. I'd take either over Kline.

Messenger can be cut as far as I'm concerened.

If we went with a 12 man staff and dropped Kline somehow...

Threets
Valdez
Taschner
Chulk
Hennessey (7th)
Walker (SU)
Wilson (CL)

Thoughts?

This is pen that I think they should go with.

However this apparently is not what management thinks. See: http://www.insidebayarea.com/giants/ci_8473582

Don't forget that if Capellan doesn't make the 25 man roster, he will be sent back to the Red Sox. Also, what about Kline? The Giants still owe him $1.75 million. Seems he will make the team becuase of that salary. My guess is that Taschner will be sent down to AAA since he still has an option left.

I still think that either Threets or Valdez will be part of a deal involving Crede along with another infield prospect. Bo_ock maybe?

Just sayin'

Re: The Bullpen??


In the mode that this team is supposed to be in (rebuilding) The Giants cannot let a young guy like Valdez get away. Even if it's at the expense of a guy like Kline. If Merkin continues to throw like he has, if he doesn't make the opening day roster, I am going to be pissed. And if it comes down to Merkin or a third catcher, and they opt to go with the catcher, it will be so typical of the brass. 3 catchers... WTF?

Well get ready because I don't think we've seen the end of idiotic moves by Sabean. I expect one or two stupid moves before the team breaks camp to start the season.

Just sayin'

Re: The Bullpen??


I honestly think the Crede trade will happen. Not saying I want it, but I think it will...

Sanchez even trade - He has never had a real role on the team. Its hard to see him becoming a starter with our 5 we have now, and Bumgarner and others in minors.

Threets or Valdez or both? Thrill is right...Sabes always has it in him to make a bad trade.

We should know by the end of the week.

Josh Fields has been struggling bad in Chicago, so maybe they don't trade Crede.

Maybe if Fields continues to struggle, Williams would trade him to the Giants instead of Crede? I'd be all over a Sanchez and Threets deal for Fields. Won't happen I know but it would be nice.

Fields would be a nice addition. I haven't seen him play, but his stats look promising. Judging from his walks/so/obp, i'd say he's a little over-patient, but 20+ HR in 350 AB? Lord.
