It sounds like Freddy is our main target now ... him or nobody. I'd like to have some more power but I guess one more solid contact hitter is Ok too.
I am not crazy about him but he is a solid player (and we need that) and he will improve our weak offense and provide solid defense at 2B. I hope we will not give up a lot to get him and what about Uribe? We will move him to a SS position? Util-man?

Unfortunately, our contact hitters do not make contact 
, therefore they usually hit .250 or something like that. So, it never hurts to get a .300 guy .. but I am just not crazy about Freddy. Good player, will help us BUT he is not a change-maker and we need that. However, if we do not wanna trade a prime guy, than I am Ok with Freddy ... better with him than without him.

Sanchez is...
Going to be a Pierzynski of 2B.
Hits for decent average, decent defense, no power, no speed...
As long as he isn't called out as 'cancer' by the end of the year it will already be a step up.
Freakin A...Barnes and Alderson should have been PACKAGED for something better.
We upgrade from (roughly) the 30th ranked offensive 1B to like the 27th, and then we get a 2B who is average at every aspect of his game.
In Sabean we trust.
And hearing Bip Roberts drooling over him was making me sick. he's not that great.
Arrg.
Give me my pitchfork...

While I don't like giving up Alderson, Sanchez is better than some of you are making him out to be.
He's one of the best 2nd baseman in the MLs and he is a 3-time all star. He is also a career 300 hitter.
He won the NL hitting title in 06 while racking up 200 hits and he had 11 HRs and 85 RBIs in 07.
While he won't be our cleanup threat, he will greatly improve our offensive productivity.

I read on Giantsboard.com that he has either a 8 or 10million dollar vesting option for next year.
Which means (If he stays) that we are paying more for Sanchez than Orlando Hudson, who we could have just gotten this offseason WITHOUT giving up our second best pitching prospect. And Hudson is the better player.
Bad all around from our great GM.
Amazing we are 10 games over .500 with Sabean at the helm.

Torres placed on the DL, Bowker recalled
Sucks for Torres. He's been a nice surprise for us this year. And is it just me, or is anyone else growing tired of seeing the Giants give Bowker chances?

Really looking forward to tonight's game against Philadelphia. Cliff Lee gets start for the Phillies after just coming over from Cleveland where he was last seasons AL Cy Young winner. Only thing better would have been a match-up against reining NL Cy Young Tim Lincecum. Instead the Giants send Ryan Sadowski to the hill where hopefully he can get back to his sensational early form. He hurled two straight shutouts to begin his rookie season debut and since it's been very spotty, to say the least. Now 2-3, Sadowski has recorded as many walks as strikeouts. GO GIANTS!
