***SF Giants 2009 Season Thread (88-74)***

[ezln1]

looks like the deal is done

5:46pm: Henry Schulman at the San Francisco Chronicle isreporting that it's a done deal, Sanchez straight up for a minor-leaguer. Stay tuned for the name.

please dont let it be one of our better prospects....let's hope Sabean didn't overreact

!*%?! whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[ezln1]

!#%! Sabean

I cant believe this....one of our TOP prospects, for a player that the Pirates are trying to salary dump?
Sabean never ceases to amaze me

 

[TheGodFresco]

Damn, our 4th best prospect? lets hope it's worth it

 

[rawex5]

Well I guess you have to gives something to get something. We have to remember they're prospects.

I

I'm fine with the deal. Posey, Bumgarner, Guzman, and Villalona are still here.

 

[ezln1]

the worse part of this is that they traded one of our best prospects, and didnt even get a player with POWER, who can drive in runs
unbelievable

 

[TheGodFresco]

Well, i liked the first proposed trade. But we got Sanchez now and we still have most of our top prospects.

And have Uribe take more at bats? I'll pass with that...Atleast Renteria can drive in runs. Welcome to SF Freddy Sanchez.

 

[sjsneakerheadiii]

I'll take it. Everyone at 2nd right now is garbage imo. Def. an upgrade. Like LiveMyReality said, we got plenty of good prospects and I'm sure therewill be many more to come.

Welcome Freddy!!!!

 

[TheGodFresco]

I see a significant limp. lol

 

[john ohh]

Stupid move, Alderson was a great back of the rotation pitcher. Sanchez wont be here more than two years,and he still is not a power bat.

 

[nothingtol0se]

it makes sense to me now.

the pirates are getting back at us for that matt morris trade.

Even if he wasn't here more than two years, the years he stays in SF will be a definite improvement at 2nd base. Don't tell me you'drather see Velez as your everyday 2nd baseman? Alderson had good stuff...But we got a real good 2B who can help now.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Some how, some where, Sanchez and Wilson will be reunited.

Heck I rather see Uribe play second base, it just doesnt make sense that we traded our number 4 prospect for a 30+ second basemen with little power it seems.Well look on the brightside, Zach Wheeler will take aldersons spot.

You mean the Jason Schmidt trade.

I honestly thought Wilson was part of the deal as well. That would have been sweet.

 

[TheGodFresco]

That dude who asked freddy about the play off question sounded like James Woods, lol

 

[ezln1]

it gets worse

6:19pm: Kovacevic says that no money is being exchanged in the Sanchezdeal, which makes it all the more impressive for the Pirates.

 

[aastatic]

Man I wanted Alderson to be that 5th starter at the end of the year. But Sanchez is an upgrade.
