Nice. I got a home Posey with the 2012 WS champs patch a few days back. I have a Bonds black alt. from 2002, Lincecum home 2008 w/ 50 year patch, Posey road 2010, Cain road 2012, and now Posey home 2013. All authentics because the Majestic replicas are terrible. I think this will be my last one for a while.

We raped him en route to a world championship

I don't mean to be impatient, but what is Brian doing about left field? Can't we do better than Blanco?

The offseason really hasnt started yet. Theres been a couple signings, but most everyone is still on the table.

That said, I dont think Sabean is interested in upgrading Blanco. I think we will either overpay to bring Pagan back, or possibly overpay to add Bourn in CF. Pence remains in RF, and either way I think Blanco presents a dirt cheap option in LF who ended the year on a strong note. he plays great D, can play every OF position, and hit just enough to keep him in the lineup.

The Giants probably arent going to be big spenders this offseason, which is the correct choice, and it makes Blanco an ideal in-house guy to fill the position Melky left vacant.

Last offseason the biggest f/a signing we made was Ryan Theriot, and we won it all. I could see another quiet offseason with the poor f/a market. Maybe we can swing a couple deals like last year. Thats a better way of improving the team without spending tons of cash.

For all the heavy criticism I give Sabean, even after a couple WS titles, I do have to give him credit in the way he finds ways to fill holes the cheap way. The only problem is, most of the time its because we need to work around the awful contracts we already have.

lol Jonathan Sanchez was strangely helpful for both WS causes. In 2010 he helped win the division on the final day with a great pitching performance, and the key RBI triple, then he pitched well in the NLDS. It was all downhill from there, but he can definitely say he had a part in earning that ring.

Then we trade him for Melky, and Melky gives us 4-5 months of borderline MVP performance, both with the bat and in the field. We probably dont make the playoffs without Melky this year, even though he had nothing to do with the WS push.

Sanchez was directly, or indirectly integral in winning 2 WS titles, and also gave us our first no hitter in like 35 years. Plus he can continue to help the Giants in the future simply by pitching against them 1-3 times per season with the Rockies.
