2013 Defending World Champion San Francisco Giants Thread

One evaluator told ESPN.com's Buster Olney that the Giants are still a better team than the Dodgers despite Los Angeles' aggressive spending. The Dodgers have questions on the left side of the infield and might be vulnerable against left-handed pitching, Olney writes.Read more at http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/san_francisco_giants/#Idp3su0Qgs8hyZGP.99

Pretty exciting to read about the top pitching prospects, if they could get MLB ready by end of 2014 early 2015, this would be fantastic news. For the next couple drafts, if you ask me, I think the Giants should primarly focus on drafting pitchers and OF's. I do think the Giants should look at giving Sandoval an extension at some point, it looks like Crawford and Belt will be decent Major Leaguers, I think Panik could take over 2B a couple years from now and obviously we are set for a long time at the Catcher position.

Can never have enough good pitching.

The Dbacks giving up Bauer for a light hitting SS is even more funny to me.

The Dbacks had to be the most overrated team in baseball aside from LA I'll never forget how much s**t those Dback fans talked before the season even saying that they were the best team in the game. They overachieved in 2011, the real version of them showed up this year, trading Bauer was stupid I doubt they'll be as good as they were in 2011, it's going to blow up in their face.

I just ordered a Posey home authentic for 152 after tax/shipping. Good deal. I would personally wait for the real WS Champions patch jersey, rather than getting just the WS one. I just got one with no patch. And beware, that little placeholder logo of the WS logo with "champions" under it thats available right now? they actually put that on the jersey. they just take a WS patch and tack on a separate "champions" below it. Its super ghetto looking, like its from a shady ebay seller. I had to return mine and it was a big hassle. I couldnt believe theyd sell something like that.

The size chart is 40 Medium, 44 Large, 48 XL, 52 2XL, 56 3XL, 60 4XL I believe. not sure about 40 being medium, but im pretty sure the rest are correct.

I should mention I had a $25 coupon on top of the 30% deal. Unfortunately, they had a black friday sale for a couple days that had all jerseys at 40% off, so you missed that one.

Authentics are well worth the extra money if you choose wisely. I only buy authentic MLB jerseys. the replicas are awful imo. I have a Bonds black alt. from 2001, Lincecum home 50 year patch, Cain road alt. from last year, Posey road 2010, and now Posey home. I should be set for a while.

I wish they would bring back the 01-02 black alternate home jerseys...Those looked awesome. imo theyre better than the Orange unis.

What a retarded trade. Indians cleaned house in that trade. They got 3 players + #3 draft pick next year.
