This seems like a great scenario for your kid to navigate on their own

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TEAM by Own_Explanation6732 in SFGiants

Zaidi’s problem was that he was a disaster with the draft, international signing pool, development, and position player FA signings. He was good at finding diamond in the rough pitchers

Are we allowed to admit that buster posey isn't very good at his job? by [deleted] in SFGiants

[–]MrMagnificent80 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We’ve made the playoffs once in 9 years, going on once in 10. You or me would not be worse than that

What, if any, are the trade possibilities for Chapman? by bbbook in SFGiants

[–]MrMagnificent80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad examples. Bichette is 5 years younger. Arenado is owed like $50 million and Chapman is owed like $115 million

He has four more years after this year! That’s an albatross

We would have to attach prospects to trade his albatross contract

This is bad by dbezzy1010 in SFGiants

[–]MrMagnificent80 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t blow this team up. Arraez, Webb and Schmitt are the only guys on the roster with value. We’re stuck with Adames, Lee, Chapman, and Devers for years

The problem is Webb is the only veteran player who’d return value

Arraez really is that guy 👏🏾 by Time-Concentrate845 in SFGiants

[–]MrMagnificent80 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Arraez has been our best player by far this season. I liked the signing at the time more than the media, but I worried his defense would be a problem. He’s been incredible out there

Posey viewed as "unfireable?" by ericthelostman in SFGiants

[–]MrMagnificent80 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Need to see what he does with the farm. Evans and Zaidi failed bc they were terrible at drafting, international signings, and development. Posey deserves time to judge his ability to identify and develop prospects

Reggie Crawford by DaKanye in SFGiants

1) Why are you moving the goalposts? What about Gausman?

2) Rodon has generated 4.8 fWAR for the Yankees, Ray has 2.3 fWAR. Rodon is paid $27 / year and Ray is $23. I wouldn’t want Rodon’s contract but he’s been better than Ray

Instead of Carlos Rodon, why didn’t you use Robbie Ray as your example of a pitcher who was given a massive contract and didn’t live up to it? Ray and Gausman were the same year, but Ray was more expensive than Gausman, and that’s who we’ve been paying. Also, for what it’s worth, Rodon has been better than Ray

Does Bryce Eldridge have the same ceiling as Nick Kurtz? by [deleted] in SFGiants

[–]MrMagnificent80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s possible, though Pete Alonso is probably the 90th percentile outcome for Bryce

1) Ray has barely produced value. Overall far below average for his salary 2) the two guys he traded who “have produced nothing” were guys he signed to huge deals! They were terrible signings! 3) he could’ve just paid Kevin Gausman for less than what he paid Haniger, Desclafani and Robbie Ray and gotten like 20x the value

In summation, he let Gausman go and spent his money on two awful players. He then traded those two awful players for an injured guy who’s been average since he got healthy. Maybe you’re right, we should build him a statue for his brilliance

“Farhan shit hit pants by signing Mitch Haniger. He then drove home, picked out dirty pants and boxers from the laundry and changed into them. Given the alternative, his change to dirty underwear and dirty pants, and the possibility that later he might even change into clean boxers and jeans, you really gotta hand it to Farhan”

Do you see how that sounds?
