End Of the Off Season
The SF Giants appear to be at the end of there off season two days and two mediocre deals into the winter meetings. Giants GM Brian Sabean has gone on record saying the team is "tapped out" and will not go after Cody Ross or Carlos Beltran. According to multiple sources Cody Ross is deeply saddened by this saying the Giants never made him a offer. The latest trade last night sending CF Andres Torres a fan favorite and Ramon Rameriez to the Mets for Angel Pagan is head scratching at best. He hit 262. with 7 HR and 56 RBI in 123 games. He is a Carrer 279. hitter and a suspect outfielder in a park that has wide open spaces to cover. Angel Pagan made the second most errors in the outfield (10) in the national league the only person to make more was Justin Upton (13) and with what he did offensivly those can be over looked. The Giants have now gone and gotten two centerfielders leaving a huge question mark as to the future of Nate Shierholtz and Aubrey Huff being the fact reports say Brandon Belt is the first baseman. The giants appear to be content with Brandon Crawford as there shortstop which defenseivly is great offense is another story. With the revenue that the giants have produced they have sold out 70+ consecutive games fans flock to the park yet ownership refuses to spend any money to reward a loyal fan base. Hopefully for the fans sake the management is not done and there will be another deal done prior to the start of the spring. This was the lowest producing offense in MLB last year and the addition of Angel Pagan and Melky Cabreara is not going to make it a whole lot better. I would like to say farwell to Anders Torres and Cody Ross two of my all time favorite giants and I hope that this does not come back and bite management in the long run. We will see what March and April bring and look forward to another great season for the SF Giants.
