SF Giants Rumors – Uribe An All-Star, Big Name For A Big Bat?
When it rains it pours, and it’s definitely pouring in Giantsland. The San Francisco Giants have lost six straight games, and are looking for a heartbeat to show they are still alive in this NL West.
Tom Verducci of SI.com lists his “All-Overlooked All-Star Team”. The only Giants player to make this list is Shortstop Juan Uribe. Verducci says no other shortstop has more than Uribe’s 12 homers and 45 RBI’s.
Damon Bruce of KNBR 1050 told me (via email) it’s going to be hard to deal for a significant player without moving a pitcher (Matt Cain, Jonathan Sanchez, Madison Bumgarner or Brian Wilson). Bruce doesn’t believe the Giants would ever move one of them. He also says it’s hard to think of a big name coming in to save the season.
Giants beat writer Chris Haft also mention to me that the outfield definitely is an area where they could obtain somebody.

Move Sanchez if you can get a worthwhile outfielder who is good now, and for the future. And sign Pedro Martinez as your 4 starter.
Quoting Damon Bruce? this is the buffoon that makes statements like “the giants absolutely make the playoffs if they can get freddy sanchez… lol , hey the guys is a solid player but your not going to ride him to a playoff spot. bruce is a nice guy making shit up as he goes along in hopes he gets something right. moving him from the mothership to 1050 was a nice move for knbr
and what the hellis B wilsons name doing in the conversation…lol
What now haters?! World Series Champions, Wilson closing… Fear the Beard!
