It's tough to see my guy go, but it was inevitable. At least he'll be free of Eric Wedge's reign.
Gark isn't a slugging first baseman, but he's a line-drive hitter and still finds a way to drive in runs. He doesn't strike out much; he isn'tafraid to cut down his swing with two strikes. He's a lot like Sandoval, in the sense that he isn't really a power hitter, but because of his size andthe fact that he puts good swings on the ball, he can drive it. He gets a lot of hits up the middle because he rarely tries to do more than he needs to at theplate.
Defensively, he's not going to make any Gold Glove plays, but he makes the plays he should. He's easily one of the slowest players in baseball, though;he'll fit right in with Molina and Sandoval.
The Giants acquired a class act and a solid ballplayer. He's a California boy, too; get ready to hear all about his love for the Lakers.
I have to admit, I'm shocked we got the Giants' 9th best prospect in return; I would have guessed a 25-year old A-baller or something.

Garko is not the answer,but he's what we got, so I'll support him. I hope he's consistant because other Sandoval we don't have a lot ofconsistant hitters

Josh Willingham | Nationals | Interested: Phillies?
The Giants took a look at a pair of Nats this weekend in Josh Willingham and Nick Johnson, according to Jon Heyman. Not a biggy -- the Giants are scouting numerous hitters -- but these are two of the better ones. Last week we noted that, according to PhillyBaseballNews.com, the Phillies have showed interest in Willingham.
Johnson is prolly out since we got Garko.

It's always nice to get a perspective from someone who is more knowledgeable about the situation. Thanks.

Giants fans... Any news on whether Bumgarner will be coming up anytime this season? Hes on my keeper fantasy league and ive been hearing nothing but great newson him. Im a big time cubs fan (born and bred chicago), but the giants are easily becoming my second favorite team in baseball. Lincecum, Cain, Bumgarner...very scary future!

I highly doubt it. The kid is still 19 and I don't think they would rush him.

Detroit brought up Porcello, about the same age. I can see the giants waiting because theyre in the race this season.

KLJ....thanks for the writeup. I was/am very against this trade from the standpoint that this is not going to fix our team, nor is this even going to reallyhelp that much in attempting to fix it. I dont know much about the pitcher we gave up, but if you say he was in our top 10 prospects in our whole farm system,I am even more against this trade.
I really HOPE he helps us, but I am not very optimistic. It just kills me to know other teams in a pennant race are making dramatic team changing trades, andwe trade for a ehhh nice player. Hopefully he proves me wrong, but this trade sucks IMO.

Apparently it's going to take a few years for Barnes to get to the Bigs and that he projects as a back of the rotation starter.

I saw Gark's first Major League hit and run batted in in Cincinnati, and two years later, he drove in 90 runs.
