2007: HBO Films announces its plans to make a movie out of “Game of Shadows,” the book about Barry Bonds’ alleged steroid use and the subsequent investigation by the federal government. The authors, San Francisco Chronicle reporters Lance William and Mark Fainaru-Wada, based much of their content on leaked secret grand jury testimony.

1971: The Giants trade Gaylord Perry to the Indians in exchange for All-Star pitcher “Sudden” Sam McDowell. The former San Francisco right-hander will finish his Hall of Fame career with 314 victories, and “Sudden Sam,” due to personal reasons, will post an 8-17 record for three different teams before retiring after the 1975 season.

The Giants top 10 list is a bit different than the one that I was putting together but the Baseball America scouts did have some nice things to say about the Giants prospects. Here is the top 10 list and a bit of the future blurb for...

Giants Extend Brian Sabean, Bruce Bochy

Via The Crazy Crabbers  |  November 29, 2011
Well I can't say that this news was unexpected but it was pretty much going to happen no matter what baring some sort of major scandal. While I have a certain times not been thrilled with both of these guys (Brian Sabean more than Bruce Bochy) they both have some good points that are nice to have around. Get ready for more bad middle tier free agent signings...

Key members of the Giants’ front office held a press conference with reporters today to announce the contract extensions of manager Bruce Bochy and GM Brian Sabean, and to talk about the team’s goings-on since the season ended last month.

Nats pursuing DeRosa

Via 22gigantes  |  November 29, 2011
The Washington Nationals are reportedly interested in signing free agent Mark DeRosa, according to MLB.com writer Bill Ladson. DeRosa, 36, was a bust in his two years with the Giants. After being signed to a two-year, $12 million contract in 2010, the oft-injured utility man played in just 73 games, due to a series of problems with his wrist. DeRosa batted .194/.279/.258 with 1...

#34 Gary Brown San Francisco Giants DOB: 9/28/1988 Previous Rank: N/R ETA: 2013   After a brilliant career at Fullerton, the Giants wisely selected Brown with the 24th overall pick in 2010.  In his first full season of professional baseball, Brown slashed an absurd .336/.407/.519 with over 60 hits for extra bases and 53 stolen bases for San Jose.  I guess you could say that...

On the Sabean Extension

Via SF Giants Nirvana  |  November 29, 2011
It’s relatively easy to objectively evaluate players. That’s not the case with managers or GMs, however — though I gave my best shot at it earlier with respect to the Bochy extension. Now, I’ll tackle the Sabean extension. The fact of the matter is, the process of an organization’s decision-making extends beyond the GM. Always. He often gets all the credit or blame for...
