I always

when a GM or owner makes a comment that one of their players or prospects is "off limits." I say that is such BS. No one should be, andno one IS off limits. You think if Omar Minaya called Sabean and offered Johan Santana and Jose Reyes for Bumgarner and Renteria that Sabean would say no? Idont think he would even have to think twice about it.

An owner or GM should NEVER publicly state that one of their players is "off limits".......because it simply is not true.

I think Thursday is the last day to vote so keep stuffing the ballot til then. About the Bumgarner thing, publicly saying a player is off limitsmay not be true, but it gives other GM's the allusion that it's going to take a king's ransom to get that player.

From ESPN Insider:

[h3]DEBUNKED: Giants shift hitting targets[/h3]Giants' general manager Brian Sabean dismissed speculation that the Giants are trying to land Jermaine Dye of the White Sox or Victor Martinez of the Indians in a deal. In an interview with KNBR Radio in San Francisco, Sabean called both names "pie in the sky." RELATED
07.6.09 The Giants are looking at Sanchez and LaRoche, however Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"The Pirates and San Francisco have had trade talks regarding second baseman Freddy Sanchez and, to a lesser extent, first baseman Adam LaRoche, each of whom can be a free agent after this season. The Giants have had a scout following Sanchez, a source confirmed yesterday, and their interest in LaRoche goes back several months."

Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler and Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval are the early leaders in the 2009 All-Star Game Sprint Final Vote, which is under way through 4 p.m. ET on Thursday exclusively at MLB.com.

EDIT: Just saw this

[h2]Shoulder lands Johnson on DL[/h2]

Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants have placed left-hander Randy Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained shoulder.

Johnson

Johnson originally hurt the shoulder on a swing Sunday and left his start after committing a throwing error in the top of the fourth inning.

The 45-year-old Johnson (8-6) underwent an MRI exam Monday that revealed the strain.

Manager Bruce Bochy says he hopes the Big Unit, who has won 303 career games, can pitch when his 15 days are up.

Johnson earlier this season became the 24th player to reach the 300-win milestone.

Infielder Kevin Frandsen was recalled from Triple-A Fresno to fill the spot.

I've voted 470 times give or take a few. It's hard to keep count.

As Radnich would say, get a life.

Just read the Pablo thing earlier and started voted again like 5 mins ago.

Also hope Johnson gets better. Sucks to get injured the way he did.
