A quick note to point out a few more Giants blogs...and apologies to Jefferson of Skaldheim, whose site I used to link to, but it was excised from the list somewhere down the line. Whoops.
And a slightly less quick note, in the spirit of Señor Pantalones, who questions all the negativity amongst the Giants' online peanut gallery. Just when you think Brian Sabean has the market cornered on idiocy, my friends, play a little game: Name a general manager, any G.M., and count the number of bad deals (either trades or free-agent signings) he has made. Now compare them to Sabean. Then watch as the Tigers outbid themselves to sign the bum-kneed Magglio Ordonez to a five-year, $70 million contract. Or click your heels three times and whisper, "Chan Ho Park." Yes, Sabean has made some mid-cap blunders, but nothing Giambian in nature.
I don't have time now, but I'd love to go through the track records of all current MLB GMs with at least five years of experience and count the crappy deals. My thesis is that Sabean would not fare badly in comparison. If someone else wants to take on this task before I get to it, be my guest.
