Loading ...Bullpen Numbers for Your Consideration (Bay City Ball)
Posted August 15, 2008 at 7:40 amIt’s a post on everyone’s favorite topic: The Bullpen!
I’ve ranked our relievers by pLI — a player’s average leverage index for all game events — and I’ve included FIP as well. FIP stands for ‘Fielding Independent Pitching’ and it’s a measure that removes fielding — hence the Fielding Independent part of FIP — and only [...]

Posted July 23, 2008 at 1:55 pmWith the July 31st Trade Deadline swiftly approaching, the Giants seem poised to abandon ship on the season and ship out the veterans for warm bodies. The dealing of Ray Durham to the Brewers is hopefully the first move to precede many, with a fair amount of veterans who could have some trade value [...]

Posted July 19, 2008 at 10:44 pmPer a diary over at McCovey Chronicles and some chatter over at MLB Trade Rumors, a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers and our very own Giants is currently in the works. Alleged to be involved on our side is Ray Durham, Jack Taschner, and a PNTBL. For that package, the Brew Crew would give up [...]

Posted July 14, 2008 at 9:12 pmI’m not much for exhibition folderol, but Josh Hamilton just put on an unbelievable show. He’s not the Home Run Derby champion due to a lackluster final round, but who cares? Extra kudos to the 71-year-old high school coach from…

Posted July 7, 2008 at 7:07 pmPerhaps it is in the newspaper columnist credo or handbook to be negative. Or perhaps they are just biased against the Giants, as the Merc’s columnists have appeared to be since the A’s announced their move down south (nothing like public commercial b…

Posted June 13, 2008 at 6:07 pmSorry for the bad 411, folks. According to MLB.com, Erick Threets would have had to stick with a major league team if he had been claimed off waivers. So there goes the premise for my previous post. Here’s my best…

Posted June 13, 2008 at 10:40 am…at least no one baseball-related. I hope Threets’s mom or other family members love him no matter how shaky his fastball command. But the hard-throwing lefty who was out of options went unclaimed when the Giants cut him, and he’s…

Posted June 12, 2008 at 8:48 amEvidently, our handwringing over Threets is a case of fan myopia as he goes unclaimed and is outrighted to Fresno.Nevertheless, retaining the hard-throwing lefty reliever is helpful - you can never have too many of those.

Posted June 11, 2008 at 6:56 amI’m talkin’ about money. I noticed a cool feature this morning on the Chronicle. They have a link where you can look up the salaries for all the players on each team in the majors.
Here’s how the Giants break down in terms of salary.

Posted June 6, 2008 at 12:28 pm* The second day of the draft rolls on. The Giants have taken lots of pitchers. Maybe one of them will be the next Jonathan Sanchez, a 27th round pick in 2004, or Brian Wilson, a 24th-rounder in ‘03. If…
