12 Blue Light Specials?
From Rosenthal....
The Giants, according to a rival executive, have informed clubs of their willingness to discuss approximately a dozen players, including major and minor leaguers. Among the veterans on the list: Ray Durham, Rich Aurilia, Randy Winn and Steve Kline. The Giants are looking for late-inning relievers, outfielders, a third baseman and backup catcher.
---------
Sounds like Sabean is trying to come in late in the the process to try and make something...anything....happen.
Good F'n luck Brian. Nobody wants any of this garbage.
Just sayin'

Gee it's only about a year late. What makes him think these guys have any more value now than they did in October. I know it sounds drastic, but cut all of the guys on the list except maybe Winn. He might have a little value. If we are going to rebuild let's get rid of all the crap and start from scratch. I don't care if we get nothing in return for these washed up players. Get rid of them at all costs. I want to see guys like Velez, Merkin, and what not out there. With some of these vets here we all know a few of the younger guys are going to get squeezed.... and for what exactly? Time to clean out the entire closet of the old junk and bring in the new.

I know what you mean. Outfielders? WTF?
Then again, maybe Sabean is thinking about doing what so many people think needs to happen, namely that he's going to blow up this team. Doing so might still include dealing a young outfielder or two. Who knows? It is just interesting although if this information from Rosenthal is correct, then it sounds like Sabean has just been sitting back, waiting till spring in an attempt to maximize what cr_ap he has on the roster.

Re: 12 Blue Light Specials?

You know, I hate to try to find logic in Brian Sabean's "thoughts" but there exists a strong possibility that the only people who truly believe that Schierholtz and Lewis and Davis and Velez and Ortmeier etc, etc, etc have a bright future are posting on this board on a regular basis.
Don't get me wrong, I don't see anything wrong with the idea that these guys could fill out the roster and become useful platoon players.
But before we all go and anoint Fred Lewis the next Chili Davis, let's stop to consider that he might well be the next Brian Dallimore.

Re: 12 Blue Light Specials?
i see you use the term, "thoughts" loosely.
nate has never looked as bad as fransden at the plate, ever. yet somehow everyone has faith that franny will be good. nate has hit 300 everywhere, even the show last year. ne needs to get more ab's in the show to see how good he really is.

Maybe I am stating the obvious, but out of the group Lewis, Frandsen, Schierholtz Ortmeier, I believe Schierholtz is the only "sure thing." I think He will hit in the majors enough to be a pretty good player at this level for quite a few years. I want to believe in Frandsen, but so far, other than his gritty, blue collar style of play, I haven't seen much to get me excited about. Lewis, who knows? How old is Velez?
