Introduction to SF Giants Guy

Well, hello fellow Giants fans. Let me introduce myself. My "internet" name is Macster but here on this blog, you can call me SF Giants Guy. I am a die hard San Francisco Giants fan. And I have taken issue with the fact that the Giants haven't brought the bling to San Francisco in my 30 years of living. I'm sure many of you who will stumble upon this blog will take issue with the fact the Giants have never won a championship as members of the San Francisco Bay Area period. I feel your pain. This blog is to vent, scrutinize, rumor-monger, and figure out ways we're better than Brian Sabean and Bruce Bochy and how we can fix our damn local 9. I will update the blog on a weekly basis (or on off-days) with my thoughts on the team. I'll include fascinating rumors about the Gigantes as well as give my ideas on improving them. Feel free to comment, to agree, to disagree, to throw out your own ideas. My hope for this thing is that we create a nice little com...

So The Giants Need A Shortstop

The Giants need a shortstop. Everyone knows it. Edgar Renteria and Juan Uribe are free agents. Bochy is a big fan of both guys. Especially in the clubhouse. But it doesn't seem likely either will return. Neither is really an acceptable everyday shortstop option anyways. So what do the Giants do? Let's examine the options: There's been murmurs of a Jason Bartlett connection. Jason Barlett had a career year in 2009 hitting 14 homers with 66 RBI's for the Rays. His previous career high was 5 HR and 43 RBI. In 2010, he reverted back to his old self and hit 4 HR with 47 RBI but batted only .254 with an OBP of .324. He has a career average of .281. I would say Bartlett would be a good fit, especially since he has a reputation of being a very good defender and grew up in the Bay Area (Mountain View), except he was subpar defensively last season. And I don't mean just below average, he was really bad if you look at his UZR (-13.9). Can the Giants afford to ...

MLB Predictions 2024

It's Opening Day week officially, with every team slated to kick off games this coming Thursday. Technically, the season has already begun with the Seoul Series in Korea where the Dodgers and Padres split a short 2-game set, but hardly any Americans got to watch it. After a slow burn of an offseason that lasted way too long, most teams have their roster set. Even so, there still are players on the market that shouldn't be: Jordan Montgomery, Tommy Pham, Mike Clevinger, Brandon Belt, and maybe not so shockingly #ForeverGiants Evan Longoria, Johnny Cueto, and Mark Melancon. Given that, barring any surprise trades or the last remaining free agents signing this week, we know what each team's roster likely will be. I had some success in my predictions last season, getting both Rookie of the Year winners correct (Gunnar Henderson and Corbin Carroll), the AL MVP (Shohei), and 5 out of 12 playoff teams (not so great). You can see my 2023 picks here . With some major moves made by ...
