Inbox: Do Giants have sluggers on horizon?

Now that former San Francisco Giants outfielder Pat Burrell has formally announced his retirement, it’s time to do what every new retiree does: sell the house. Wait. What? Burrell won’t be playing baseball anymore (or earning a million-dollar-a-year contract), so the slugger has decided to sell his swanky digs in Scottsdale. You’ve seen Tim Lincecum‘s crib...

Rael Enteen of CSNBayArea.com says Ryan Vogelsong isn’t concerned about the San Francisco Giants offense heading into the 2012 season.   “Not concerned at all. We’re getting two really good players back from injury (Buster Posey, Freddy Sanchez) so it’s almost like we signed two free agents,” said Vogelsong. Vogelsong is going to be the number four...

There are just 16 days remaining until pitchers and catchers report to spring training and 60 days until Opening Day. On this date in Giants history… 2006: The San Francisco Giants rename their ballpark AT&T Park. The stadium was originally called “Pacific Bell Park” and was later renamed “SBC Park.” The ballpark is scheduled to host the 2007 All...

Pat Burrell is expected to formally announce that he is retiring any day now, effectively stealing some news during Super Bowl week. He hardly leaves the game empty handed. Two world series rings, 292 career big league home runs, and he was a career .834 OPS guy. Then there’s the stories. If we’ve heard some of them there’s a good chance there’s a bunch we...

Yesterday, Pat “The Bat” Burrell retired, seeing his playing days end due to a combination of chronic foot problems and a lessening need for a bat-only player who flopped in his one audition as a DH. Burrell finishes his career with 6,520 plate appearances and a .253/.361/.472 line, good for a 117 wRC+ and 21.9 WAR. If you offered any nearly any player a 12 year career...

That’s right, the prospect countdown continues.  Imagine that.  And we’ll have a special Saturday script for #1 tomorrow!  Not that it should be a surprise to anyone.  He’s the first consensus #1 prospect among Giants’ prospect watchers since…well, Buster Posey.  Okay, so that’s not THAT long ago, but still… Francisco Peguero has been...

Yesterday, Pat Burrell, who had spent nine years playing for the Phils, and was a member of the 2008 World Series Championship team, as well as being a member of the 2010 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants team, announced his retirement. Burrell, nicknamed Pat the Bat, was the number one draft choice of the Phils in the 1998 draft, before joining the main club in 2000. Spending...

CSN: Buster Posey says he's on target in his recovery from injury, and that "getting in there and playing some games is the next step."

The Mets rotation, for better or for worse, is set for 2012: Santana (or replacement), Pelfrey, Dickey, Gee and Niese. The Mets also look between the end of this year and 2014 to add several young pitchers, like Familia, Harvey, Wheeler and maybe Mejia. So I wonder if the Mets could benefit from what will be a crowded All-Star pitching Free Agent market next season. With Edwin Jackson...
