The Giants are willing to trade Jonathan Sanchez

According to Jon Morosi of FoxSports.com, the Giants are willing to trade Jonathan Sanchez “in an effort to free up money so they can pursue offensive upgrade.” Sanchez, 28, projects to make around $6MM in arbitration; with Barry Zito under contract through 2013 and Eric Surkamp under team control, Sanchez is somewhat expendable — that is, if the Giants are content with putting...

Giants’ Top Twenty Prospects: Part I…20-11

After a lot of work and deliberation, here are my Giants prospect rankings for 2012. These are based on a number of factors (scouting reports, tools, age relative to league, polish, upside, positional value, etc.), with performance and potential weighted similarly.

Next season, the hard luck hurler, who has lost 20 games the last two years, will win Game 4 of the Fall Classic, beating the Yankees...

VIDEO: The Kung Fu Panda is having a blast in Taiwan

With his infectious smile and goofy antics on and off the field, Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval is nothing short of a big kid. So it’s no wonder he’s a huge hit in Taiwan, where he and a group of other Major League Baseball players (including teammates Andres Torres and Ramon Ramirez) are playing in a three-city, five-game All-Star tournament. (As of Saturday, the MLB team...

Opening Bell: Lions fans HATE Nickelback, NFL owners ranked, the Rocket returning?

Quick rant: Do you ever see commercials that just totally annoy the crap out of you every time you see them? That’s where I’m at with these Taco Bell ads with Giants closer, Brian Wilson. I can’t stand them. I actually liked Wilson’s whole “Look at me, I’m so out there” schtick. It was funny, unpredictable and … Continue reading »
