Lincecum and prospects for Stanton
More runs plz
But wouldn't Miami have to take on the remainder of Tim's contract? I thought spending money is the last thing Miami's FO would do.
Miami would NEVER make a trade that included Tim Lincecum and prospects. Some people don't seem to realize that the Giants have ZERO elite prospects in their organization or that Timmy has zero trade value.
Yep, going to take a king's ransom to pry Stanton from the Marlins.
Ignoring for a moment what it would take to get him, I wouldn't mind Cespedes in LF for the Giants. I like both the A's and the Giants, but we know there's almost zero chance the A's will keep him beyond his current 4-yr contract, and Beane would love to get value for him rather than lose him via FA. So if/when he leaves the A's, would like to see him go across the bay. A's are treading water right now, but if they were to fall out of contention, it would not be a surprise if they shopped him prior to deadline this season.
This would be sweet, but I don't think the giants have the chips to entice Beane. Plus, for the As front office/ownership, I think there would be an element of not wanting him to be a Giant.
Agreed. I think the more pressing issue for the team next year is going to be filling out the back end of the rotation. Gotta hope at least one of our guys in the minors is ready to make the jump because I doubt Timmy will be back along with Zito most likely and I have no idea if they're going to pick up Vogey's option at this rate.
