FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Rebuilding Giants heading in the right direction
Its a good summary of what the Giants are trying to do and why Sabean has done a good job doing it. Sabean has built us a contender while not jeopardizing the future. Here's one thing I did disagree on:
Winn is a keeper as he plays RF at AT&T Park better than anyone I can think of. Maybe Reggie Sanders. I would not be sad if the Giants got an upgrade over Lewis. Giants definitely need power from somewhere and if its over Lewis, so be it. Giants could try and package Lewis in some kind of trade. Whoever it is, it better not be Adam Dunn or Manny Ramirez. The article also says Sandoval is playing first but Bochy has said he will play third. Ishikawa is a front runner for first. Giants aren't done yet, I just hope they continue to be smart in their decisions.San Fran could use an impact bat at one of the outfield corners. Randy Winn and Fred Lewis, while plus defenders, simply can't hit enough by positional standards. Adam Dunn, who has the secondary skills that almost every Giant hitter lacks, would be a good fit, and since he wasn't offered arbitration he won't cost them a draft pick. With the promising Pablo Sandoval set to take over at first base, the Giants will also need upgrades at either second or third base. Perhaps Orlando Hudson, another former D-back not offered arbitration?
