Exactly. And, if we had all thought it through, we should have tried to make a rule that until the draft officially starts, you can't trade a pick that's within 3 or 5 picks of the current pick. But, hindsight is 20/20.

I think it's too late to do anything about this deal. Not sure I agree it's bad enough in the first place to vote against, but that's not my point. We can't allow circumstances to happen then after someone uses it to their advantage, try to change them retroactively. By starting the draft early and ...

I bet it's closer to 275 22 80 with 360 obp

Ok guys, park your egos at the door, I don't give a crap about your prospects. This is meant as a discussion about big league farm systems. More specifically, initial player scouting of teams. Here's what I was thinking, if you took the top 10 players at each position, then made a list of the team t...

2B Chris Burke

CF Josh Hamilton
3B Adrian Beltre
RF Austin Kearns
LF Elijah Dukes
C Jarrod Saltalamacchia
DH Jake Peavy

What needs to happen before we can start the draft?

And Dukes has been traded to Washington for a player to be named. With Dukes, Pena, Milledge, and Kearns in their OF, I'm guessing Dukes gets the shaft for playing time. Though, none of them will be above losing playing time if they slump.

Giants release Jordan 6-Latham

Giants release Yhency Brazoban

Giants sign Keith Foulke

Adrian Beltre or Chad Tracy are available. Make an offer.

Giants release Clayton 6-Conner

Do I remember correctly there was a chain of posts where people were posting the international signings over the summer? Did that go away?

Giants create Randor 0-Bierd

Giants sign Brad 5-Corley

Giants create Eli 0-Iorg

Also, Bailey could be had in a deal for a very good SP.

Looking for an OF, someone decent defensively and not over 30 (and if a prospect, someone who at least has some experience in the majors). Looking to give up some combination of the below (be it one for one, or some combination): Pat Neshek Scott Olsen Mark Kotsay Doug Slaten Mark Prior Randy Wolf M...

Giants create Luis 0-Mendoza
