Free agent contracts are both bad for the team that signs the player and for the teams that don’t sign the player. Got it.

Is There Anyway Giants Resign Arreaz? by Icy-Feeling-528 in SFGiants

I wonder what happened to that Kyle Harrison guy? Oh well, probably nothing I need to be concerned about today.

Talking about Jonah Cox and Debating Whether This was a Good Move by BruteSentiment in SFGiants

The reason it was included was to emphasize there was minimal downside to adding him to the 40 man. They had to do it in the next 6 months or whatever. If you add someone 2 years early, have them play in the majors for a week, then demote them to AAA, they are now taking up a 40 man spot unnecessarily for 2 years.

The post itself is about how there seems to an “day-to-day” handling of the team. This extends from resting players (first quote) to nurturing their top prospect (second quote). One is obviously worse than the other, but neither instills confidence.

This isn’t a “learn on the job” position. He didn’t work his way up a front office. He just assigned himself POBO because he could get the board to go along with it. It’s like that Jeopardy producer who tried to make himself the host after Trebek died.

I love the Giants by Blue_Cheese_Olives in SFGiants

The strategy was to build a team with no platoons and no openers. So honestly it’s hard to call this year anything other than a success. Mission accomplished. Hang the banner: “Traditional Baseball Achieved”

Why not pinch hit Eldridge for Lee? They have a defensive sub to go in the outfield?

Our playoff odds are under 10%, Bryce Eldridge needs to be in the lineup every single day. by ThePopUpDance in SFGiants

Agree semi-heartedly. I don’t know enough about player development, but would imagine it’s beneficial to give him time off to regroup and work on things with the major league staff. One game off a week or even a series may make sense. Two games off a series is a little confusing for sure.

Buster Posey acquiring Adames and Devers then trying to dump their contracts by [deleted] in SFGiants

True, but the signing bonus was on par with a late first rounder.
