GIANTS RUMORS & GOSSIP
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: Brian Wilson Quotes From Giants Media Day
Do you want more quotes from the San Francisco Giants Media Day? I knew you did, so here are a few I was able to get from closer Brian Wilson (will post Q&A with Wilson soon). Everyone always wants to ask questions about his beard, so I wasn’t going to disappoint. I asked Wilson if he plans to keep his beard for the entire 2012 season. “I don’t really have plans...

Lucky Lefties, and Less is More: An Analysis of the Giants Offseason
Ned Flanders is a crafty lefty.
It should surprise no one familiar with this site when I say that we haven’t been blogging much; not counting writing done for other sites, I haven’t written an original article for over seven months. To break my blogging fast, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to recap the offseason, or analyze the contracts to Jeremy Affeldt and Javier...

Justin Christian Designated For Assignment
The Giants Designated Justin Christian for assignment today to make room on the 40 man roster for Guillermo Mota and Ryan Theriot, per Andrew Baggarly.
I had thought that Christian may have had the inside track to be the team’s 25th man due to the fact that he bats righty, and most of the team’s OF are either switch hitters or left handed hitters, but this move makes...

SF Giants Rumors: Romo’s Out To Prove His Career Isn’t a Fluke
While at San Francisco Giants Media Day, I was able to interview reliever Sergio Romo (will post that soon). He was a very fun guy to chat with and interview. I could feel his passion that he has for the game. I asked Romo what personal goals he has set for himself this year, and his answer shocked me a bit. It’s like he wanted to send a message out to all the doubters out...

SF Giants Rumors: More Nuggets, Sit Down Session With Bochy And Sabean
Here are more nuggets from the sit down session with San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy and GM Brian Sabean at Giants Media Day. I had a chance to ask Bochy who would be plan B if closer Brian Wilson can’t go at the start of the season. Bochy said you can start with Sergio Romo and Javier Lopez. He also said everyone in the bullpen can move up a spot.

Matt Cain Unloading S.F. Bro Pad With Ikea Kitchen At Loss; $1.8MM
Matt Cain is due for a pay raise after the 2012 season and he’ll either get a huge contract from the Giants or sign elsewhere as a free agent. So what’s the logical move at this point? Sell that $1.8mm house you’ve been slumming in while playing in San Fran. He’ll make $15,000,000 this season and will probably demand at least that over 6-7 years in his next...

Cain puts Bay Area home up for sale. Is writing on the wall?
Zoinks! There’s news out of the Huffington Post this morning that San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain—who is eligible to become a free agent after this season—has put his Bay Area home up for sale.
Unless Cain and his family are just looking to upgrade (after all, he is getting quite the pay hike in the final year of his contract), this could very well be reason...

Tim Lincecum loses 22 pounds by swimming, cuts back on fast food
Do Giants fans really want to hear that their star pitcher lost weight during the offseason? Tim Lincecum has always managed to throw smoke despite looking like he’s a meal away from emaciation. They don’t call him The Freak for no reason. However, Lincecum claims he is down to 175 pounds from 197 last season. If you want to believe that this dude weighed 197 pounds during...

Cactus League countdown: S.F. Giants
Plenty of major league teams spent the winter wheeling and dealing, laying the foundation for rebuilding or angling for that missing piece or two.
Not the San Francisco Giants. Their biggest acquisitions of the offseason came via the disabled list.
When the Giants arrive in Scottsdale for Cactus League they'll have catcher Buster Posey and second baseman Freddy Sanchez back...

Sabean, on Yoenis Cespedes: “Price tag is beyond what his talent is”
Most of my posts are about guys the Giants do sign, but this one’s to let you know about a player the team says it won’t go after.
According to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will not be putting on the orange and black anytime soon.
The Giants had previously been rumored to possibly be in on Cespedes, who defected from Cuba...
