FREDDY SANCHEZ RUMORS

Position Projections: Second Base

The second base position has been pretty good for the Giants compared to other teams in the past 15 seasons. In 1997, the Giants put some guy named Jeff Kent out there to start for six seasons. He was an all-star, MVP and is a future hall-of-famer. Then, the Giants threw Ray Durham in the second base position in 2004. Durham played well and was one of the Giants best players during...

SF Giants Rumors: Wilson, Sanchez and Posey

Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News gives some insights on a few players. Baggarly said closer Brian Wilson arrived in Arizona last week to get a jump on his throwing program. In the next few days he’s expected to throw off a mound for the first time since the San Francisco Giants shut him down because of recurring elbow soreness last season.   The injury did not...

SF Giants Rumors: Freddy Sanchez Says Shoulder Is Coming Along Great

Happy Birthday Freddy Sanchez! The San Francisco Giants second baseman is confident he’ll be ready for Opening Day, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.   “I’m doing great. I’m throwing. I’m out to 60 feet now, and the shoulder’s coming along great,” said Sanchez. When Buster Posey went down the Giants were still able to...

Winter meetings update: Marlins sign Reyes, Sanchez to begin throwing Monday

Baseball’s annual Winter Meetings began Sunday night with a splash. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the sound of a Rawlings baseball landing in McCovey Cove. The Florida…scratch that…Miami Marlins have hauled in the first catch from a sea of attractive free agents, reportedly agreeing to a six-year, $106 million contract with shortstop Jose Reyes. The Marlins also...

The Freddy Sanchez Extension – Eight Months Later

About eight months ago — April 1st — the Giants extended Freddy Sanchez through 2012 for $6MM. The timing of the move was a bit peculiar, but it ultimately seemed like a prudent deal. The 2B free agent market would be somewhat thin in the upcoming offseason, and the Giants were looking ahead to ensure that second base would not be a void for them entering 2012. Sanchez...

Giants trainer says Sanchez might still be able to play this year

There's a slim chance San Francisco Giants second baseman Freddy Sanchez might return to the lineup sometime this season. Giants trainer Dave Groeschner said Sunday night that -- while Sanchez does in fact have a dislocated right shoulder that could require surgery and end his season -- the plan is to see how his shoulder responds to rehab over the next few weeks in hopes...

Notes: Pablo Sandoval's Weight Loss, Freddy Sanchez

Freddy Sanchez should be ready by opening day, writes John Shea of the San Francsico Chronicle. Bay City Ball took a look at the WAR produced by first-round Giants pitchers, and I must say, the 2000s have been quite a decade for Giants' home-grown pitching. Pablo Sandoval continues to lose weight, as evidenced by his new Twitter picture. 24 Days of Magic did a Q&A with...

End of Season Review: Freddy Sanchez

To be perfectly honest since the beginning I have not been Freddy Sanchez's biggest fan. I thought the cost to acquire him was too high (in hindsight it looks like the Giants got the better end of the deal). I thought the extension he signed was misguided after he was injured at the end of his first stint with the Giants. I went into a tizzy after it was announced that he wouldn...

Was the Freddy Sanchez Acquisition Worth it?

In 2009, after being acquired by the Giants in exchange for Tim Alderson -- who had been ranked as the Giants' fourth-best prospect by Baseball America -- Freddy Sanchez didn't do much. He played 25 games, batted .284 without much power, and only drew two walks. His defense, nevertheless, was solid. Giants fans, however, were dissatisfied, as they had given up a promising...
