Barry Bonds appeals conviction…Just in time for Hall of Fame consideration

Via 22gigantes  |  December 23, 2011
Former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds finished his scandal-shortened career with a Major League record 2,558 walks. Even though he hasn’t stepped into a batter’s box in four years, Bonds got another free pass last week when he was sentenced to what basically amounts to a slap on the wrist for his conviction in an obstruction of justice charge against...

3 ways the Giants could have signed Carlos Beltran

Via The Crazy Crabbers  |  December 23, 2011
The big bat on just about every Giants fan Christmas list just signed with the Cardinals for a very reasonable 2 year $26 million deal. When the news of the years and money involved broke over twitter, a justified freak out session broke out among Giants fans, why couldn't the Giants swing this deal? It would have been understandable if the Giants didn't want to go three...

Via ObsessiveGiantsCompulsive  |  December 22, 2011
I should note that I wholeheartedly recommend getting Bill James Handbook. I get it every year, lots of good data, and usually some new data each year. Like one year: baserunning.I wrote about the Giants defense the other day, and now today I'm covering baserunning. The Giants were 12th in the majors in Net Bases Gained, with 38 bases gained, which includes bases taken while...

Update on bogus Brian Burres-to-Giants rumor

Via 22gigantes  |  December 21, 2011
by Troy Nelson, 22gigantes.com Many of you have asked me to provide an update on my post from a couple of days ago, when I wrote about how skeptical I was about the supposed report that pitcher Brian Burres had been signed to a minor league contract by the Giants. My skepticism arose as soon as I heard that the Giants had also re-signed infielder Emmanuel Burriss on the same day...

…. Epic fail

Via Only Baseball Matters  |  December 23, 2011
Sabean couldn’t figure out a way to make this happen? That sure seems like an inexpensive, short-term risk, sort of like the one he threw away on Mark DeRosa, for instance; with the exception of being a risk on a player who actually is a great hitter when healthy.
