SF Giants Rumors – Giants Have Offers On The Table!
Posted on December 10th, 2009 by admin in SF Giants Rumors
Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports that the Giants have offers on the table to more than one free agent. Sabean said “Nobody at this time is close to saying yes.” Baggarly believes the players are Mark DeRosa, Nick Johnson and Scott Podsednik, but he hasn’t been able to confirm that.
The Giants also spoke with the agents for catcher Rod Barajas. When asked about a trade for Dan Uggla. Sabean said “I’ll make a blanket statement: We’re not in any trade discussions that are close to happening as compared to the free agents.”
King of Cali thoughts: DeRosa, Johnson and Podsednik are not sexy names, and sure aren’t the big power bats that we need. Anyone of them would sure help though. Our offense needs help anyway we can get it. By Sabean going after 2nd tier guys. He would need to make a couple moves to boost our offense.

Pfffft.
Those guys stink. Each and every one of them, and collectively (given Nick Johnson’s estimated playing time of 40 or less games) they would hit maybe 35 HR in total.
Brian Sabean really isn’t even trying anymore, is he?
Yeah none of these guys that keep getting brought up are not sexy names. No one to write home about. lol With that said, if we can sign a few of them. That would help our team, but not just one… maybe not even two.
