Gonna be an awkward ring ceremony for Aoki.

Maybe if he didnt go 1-for-14 in the World Series he would be getting his own ring.

Another platoon at LF isn't too bad. I mean the Giants have won two WS with Blanco in the lineup.
I really hope Pagan is 100% and that Strickland learns 2-3 new pitches.

Decent pick up more or less insurance for Pagan.

Nice move on picking up Aoki imo, he had a lot of clutch hits for the Royals in their run to the World Series.

He also took some of the most head scratching routes on fly balls I've ever seen. Nonetheless, he is an upgrade over Morse and Ishikawa in LF... Defensively speaking.

A lot talk bad about Blanco, but I think he's done more than his part to help the team win. He may not be the offensive player that Pagan is, but for his salary and the fact that he can actually stay healthy, I could never say a bad thing about him.

Giants are linked to cuban top prospect Yoan moncada, I wouldn't mind taking a risk at one of these cuban guys

Not the first time we have been “linked” to a Cuban prospect.

It's tough to see the Sabean and FO shelling out big money to someone that's unproven.

Unfortunately, its that attitude that led to Jose Abreu being on the White Sox instead of on our team.
I am convinced we will never sign a big ticket international player.....and IF we ever do, it will be the first true bust.

^ I have the same feeling too.

I feel like the Giants' success since 2010 is ironically part of their flaws in regards to Sabean and the personnel moves he makes/doesn't make.
Not saying it's right but hard to blame him when they've struck pay dirt 3 times now. Not once, not twice, but 3 TIMES!!!
Once again to clarify, I'm not saying I agree with it but just looking at it from his point of view.
Sabean's approach to each offseason after winning the WS has been relatively the same: bring back the same core of players and don't break the bank unnecessarily on anybody since you just won the WS with rag-tag flawed roster.
The only wrinkle in this most recent WS run/following offseason is how they lost Panda. Other than that, the team was essentially going to be the same for 2015 as it was for 2014.

The Astros also are nearing a deal with free-agent right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, baseball sources told ESPN.com.

Would rather have him than Timmy TBH.

I'm happy with letting vogey go.. His time with us was running out. We've seen the best of him imo. I'd rather throw in young prospects into the rotation
2016 champs! Let's go!

Happy trails Vogey.
Maybe the Giants take a look at Zito again?
He is working to pitch next season...How's Mark Mulder's rehab going?
