SF Giants Rumors: No Talks With Lincecum For Multi-Year Deal At This Point

Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says Tim Lincecum‘s representative, Rick Thurman, told him this morning he and the San Francisco Giants have not had one discussion about a multi-year contract and, in fact, have had “no substantive talks” on even a one-year deal that would prevent the sides from going to salary arbitration.   “My only expectation is that we’ll...

Via 22gigantes  |  November 20, 2011
Before he was a Major League Baseball player, DeRosa was a star quarterback at the University of Pennsylvania. Guess which San Francisco Giant played quarterback for the University of Pennsylvania back in the early to mid ’90s? That would be utility man Mark DeRosa, who visited with the Penn football team (not to be confused with that other football program in PA) over the weekend...

Larry Baer Confirms Giants Fans Worst Fears

Via The Crazy Crabbers  |  November 17, 2011
Larry Baer spoke recently about the Giants needs this off season. After watching the video it is pretty apparent that the Giants will not be players in any of the top (or even mid level) free agents this off season. "Around the field, certainly we want to add some bats. We are going to be careful that we do it the right way."...

Giants Lead the Way in Fewest Homers Allowed

Via The Flagrant Fan  |  November 19, 2011
The San Francisco Giants did not repeat as champions in 2011. In fact, they didn't even make the playoffs. But you can't blame the pitching staff. Giants' hurlers led the league in fewest hits allowed and were second in earned runs (and runs) and ERA. They were also second in the National League in strikeouts. But what the Giants do better than any other team is minimize...

If you're in the San Francisco area and have been struggling to think of a way to keep pests, birds, hippies, and other unwanteds in your garden the Giants have the perfect solution for you: the Brian Wilson lawn gnome giveaway on May 20.The Hagerstown Suns, a minor league team that Wilson once toiled for, held a similar giveaway last season and seeking to capitalize on such...

Vogelsong's Song: Will He Sing or the Fat Lady?

Via ObsessiveGiantsCompulsive  |  November 18, 2011
A couple of the reasons I used to hit just about every Giants blog way back when are that 1) I like to find solutions to questions, and 2) it's a waste if I find something interesting, good or bad, and don't share it with other Giants fans (that's probably why I've made a career in research).  Back then, the idiot quotient was still relatively low and I didn'...

Bill James Handbook: 2011 Giants Defensive Leaders and Laggards

Via ObsessiveGiantsCompulsive  |  November 17, 2011
Just got the 2012 Bill James Handbook, which has a TON of 2011 statistics that you can't get anywhere else, or hardly anywhere else.The first thing I wanted to get into was the Fielding Bible stats in the front of the book, using their Plus/Minus system which they then translate into Runs Saved.  And generally, 10 runs saved is the equivalent of one extra win.OK, going with...

And here's some bad news: it's unlikely to actually happen. Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury-News spoke to Lincecum's agent Rick Thurman, and Thurman confirmed that the Giants and Lincecum...
