-Q: Holliday and Bay are the big names… Have you gauged their possible interest? Do you think either of those guys would have genuine interest in coming to the Giants?

"If won-loss records are suddenly obsolete, why do we bother to keep the stat?"
Ding ding ding. And if 8-tracks are suddenly obsolete, why does "Close to the Edge" sound so sweet in my Vega?

Stats are good. I’m not even referring just to the advanced statistical arguments that support Tim Lincecum ’s Cy Young, either. It’s good that there is a record of events to which to refer while doing research. Old-timers can’t argue; wins, losses, and runs batted in ...

Supposedly, the easiest position at which to find a hitter is first base. Alas, we are Giants fans. It's a little disingenuous to say there's a post-Will curse on the organization -- J.T. Snow did provide a couple of fantastic years to bookend the meh -- but there hasn't been a lot of offense ...

If you missed the State of the Sabean, here you go . Some of the key points:
Brad Penny wants too much money.
Juan Uribe wants too much money.
Bengie Molina wants a multi-year deal, which the Giants aren’t willing to do.
Trades stink because other teams want good players.
The ...

He's better than everyone else. What, you want
more? Chris Carpenter missed a month and gave up
six earned runs to the Giants, which is a sin so egregious he should be ineligible for next year's award as well. Adam Wainwright had more wins, but ...

My secret two-pronged plan for the catching position in 2010:
Buster Posey starts. And if he hits .210/.290/.330 for his first 200 at-bats, he still starts. And if he allows a passed ball per week, he still starts. The Giants don't a roster that would be favored for a playoff berth right ...

Today's goal: stopping the "Free agent hitters won't come to the Giants because of the huge ballpark" myth. I don't know for certain it's a myth, mind you, but I have a pretty good idea. I'm not out there, talking to free agent hitters, hearing them laugh off suggestions that AT&T Park will ...

So it begins. I’ll bold the following, just so you know that I’m not crazy.
The Yankees have an inherent advantage. They committed hundreds of millions in one offseason to bring in C.C. Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, and A.J. Burnett, which is something that no other team can do. ...

I've worked with some real freaks. I've trained a woman who, when the mouse reached the bottom of the mousepad, could not continue working until someone helped her figure out what to do. I worked with a person who ate peanuts constantly, chewed with her mouth open, and did it while asking you a ...
