I thought of the other guys, but Segedin was hitting better I think and not that bad with the glove.

The o...I hope I am right with this prognostication;<br />The only thing I think may be in the works is open the books somewhat to get two maybe three FA players! <br /><br />One must remember, they signed one hell of a lot of the IFA players and most of them haven't even played yet. <br /><br />What I am saying (very badly) is we may end up with as many as, two rookies in the outfield and an FA!<br />One FA pitcher along with a couple rookies added to the BP (or get Robertson back).<br /><br />I really look to have Evo become a much better pitcher...he needs to learn how to pitch using all three of his pitches. IF Mitchell can come all the way back he would be welcome in the BP making it a three headed monster out there and resting the top guys much more then he did in 2015.<br /><br />Rob Segedin, 26 years old is the only 3rd baseman that may be close to coming up next year...is he better than Chase...I have no idea! Other than that I can see we need one big righthanded bat and one #1 or #2 pitcher, just as we have all said all year long.<br /><br />A-Rod, Beltran, McCann, and Tex are a force but a year older, how much can we depend on them alone to carry this team. We need what we had in the first half of last year, guys on base for the big guns and players that can take the extra base or even bunt against the shift. Why in the hell would a guy that hits 7 to 10 HRs a year hit into the shift when we need runners to keep the line going.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-79641808450199211882015-10-08T14:06:42.268-04:002015-10-08T14:06:42.268-04:0027 World Series Rings and we have the blogs going ...27 World Series Rings and we have the blogs going crazy because we missed making the cut.

I have my own opinion about people struggling with addiction. My sister died at 31 because of her various addictions. I loved my sister as I'm sure Daniel loved his father.

They were right.<br /><br />As they plodded on, the dagger driven into his ribs, sapped the teams energies.....<br />Their flag bearer went down.....Simple as that.<br /><br />The facts below, only enhance my point :<br /><br />Eovaldi, 25, had a 4.20 ERA (3.42 FIP) in 27 starts and 154.1 innings this season. <br />Eovaldi had a 5.12 ERA (4.09 FIP) in his first 13 starts and 70.1 innings............ <br />and then had a 3.43 ERA (2.86 FIP) in his final 14 starts and 84 innings. He became magical.<br /><br />The splitter was the key for Eovaldi. Every five days, another team, wilted as he pitched.<br /><br />Pitching Guru Coach Rothschild had him start the year with a traditional forkball grip just to get used to having his fingers so spread apart before switching to a splitter. The split was a major weapon for Eovaldi in those final 14 starts.<br /><br />The revolver is back in the holster for now....ready to spin the chamber again for ......2016.patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-67658891789449562892015-10-07T20:05:42.422-04:002015-10-07T20:05:42.422-04:00Burch the Giants have won the WS in 2010, 2012, 20...Burch the Giants have won the WS in 2010, 2012, 2014 and are scheduled to win in 2016 and contrary to your comment about Cashman and company I know you're smart enough to realize that Stick and Watson were responsible for at least 4 of WS victories. Cashman really should only accept 2009. I'll take the Giants front office every day of the week and twice on Sunday over the Yankees. Winning the WS every other year sounds pretty good to me since we haven't made the playoffs the last three years in a row and yes you count that game as a playoff game but I don't. Play in game all the way doesn't constitute playoffs to me.Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-16875399289770082792015-10-07T17:21:14.484-04:002015-10-07T17:21:14.484-04:00Three if memory serves.
