| 2010-01-28 14:00:00 | Is there any way to look at the Giants off-season as anything but another disaster?
(bjmd from SF) | It's glum stuff in terms of Sanchez and Huff, certainly, because the disasters involve the elective decisions to sign them, and forgo other alternatives. If the goal was to wind up with a first baseman who might not outhit Travis Ishikawa or Nate Shierholtz or John Bowker, with the flexibility of Mark DeRosa and Pablo Sandoval allowing you to rotate around if all three deliver (no laughing... OK, some laughing), maybe all that's lost is money. I still think the Dodgers and Rockies are takeable, but the disaster is that Sabean didn't seem to realize it, and lined up adequate propositions in an offseason where other teams have been considerably bolder and more creative in fixing their problems. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2008-04-23 13:00:00 | Any reason to think John Bowker can keep this up? Or at least be an above average mlb first baseman.
(Tom from Oregon) | No; probalby not -- more of a Greg Colbrunn type? (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-04-17 13:00:00 | Pecota has a low opinion of John Bowker despite a good season in a pitching friendly environment last year. Is there something something that Pecota is picking up that I'm missing?
(bernard23 from NYC) | He's a 24-year-old corner outfield prospect, and he's in the San Francisco Giants system. Wearing those sorts of albatrosses around one's neck, it takes more than 'good' to get PECOTA's attention. (Nate Silver) |
