  1. Brown is on fire!!! He's finally figured out the league and now taking no prisoners!

    I've seen rumors that the Giants are supposedly in on Greinke - which didn't make sense - and that rumor was knocked down by Henry Shulman today in his blog. Shulman interviewed Sabean the other day and Sabean reiterated what he told Shulman a month ago, the Giants are not looking for a starting pitcher.

    He's reportedly looking for a position player who he can keep long-term, so that could mean that a lot of our top prospects could be in play.

    It also noted that he was looking at pitchers, which means relievers since he's not looking for starters. Have to think that Hensley's job is the one gone if the Giants acquire anyone.

    I saw somewhere, don't recall now, but someone dissed Jeremy Affeldt's performance this season. I think he has been fine, if not pretty good. Good 2.6 K/BB ratio (ideally you want closers with at least 2.4, from what I recall, so that's good for a set-up reliever). He has been very good in 3 of his 4 seasons with us, don't know what more he could have done, really.

    DrB, what are your thoughts on Matt Graham?

    1. Matt Graham appears to be a kid who has the potential to be an innings eating ground ball machine. He started out very raw and has taken a long time just to get to the starting line. I would say the remainder of this season is very important if now critical for him getting into position to take the next step which would be a gig with a full season team next year.

  2. Talk about being on fire. I don't generally give darn about the All-Star Game, but I'm gonna have to do a Game Wrap on this one as the Giants representatives are just killing it. Take THAT haters!
