Giants Off Season

The San Francisco Giants started there off season with a semi splash yesterday with the trade of Jonathan Sanchez.  The Giants aquired Melky Cabrara for Sanchez and Ryan Verdugo.  Sanchez obviously wore out his welcome with GM Brian Sabean after bouts with wildness and not coming back from his ankle injury when the Giants were trying to make there final push at the Diamondbacks.  This move is ok but not great Melky Cabrara is not the second coming of Barry Bonds nor is anyone on the market that the giants are even thinking of obtaining. This move does free up space for a much needed piece the giants do need though a Shortstop. While I love Brandon Crawford (Bcraw) he has not hit the way he has needed to and is just too unreliable.  There are two names surrounding the giants and this spot. Jimmy Rollins and Jose Reyes Bare with me now giants fans because I know everyone is probably thinking the same as me seeing Rollins or Reyes in a giants uniform would be weird but I think there both a great fit.  Both of these guys would not only fill a void at shortstop but in the leadoff spot in the batting order. Sorry Anders Torres but production and consistancy is a must and you have neither.  One more thing the trade of Sanchez for Cabrera means is most likely the end of Carlos Beltran, Cody Ross and Pat the Bat's time as giants are over.  It should be a interesting season and a even more intersting 2012.  I believe the giants are commited to winning and winning for a very long time to come. The Return of Buster Posey and Freddie Sanchez and the new found Panda are all added bonuses to the 2012 season.  I look forward to the upcoming off season and the 2012 season I am a life long giants fan and hope that there are many more world championships to come for the city by the bay.
