The San Francisco Giants Thread

Pretty funny that the dodger pitchers that pitched in the ASG both gave up runs, and of course Kershaw got the loss. Lol, douchebags

I wonder if a kid that throws that hard will end up in the bullpen. Our own Chapman.

Seems like they're starting him right now mostly to strengthen his arm; I definitely think he'll end up in the bullpen

If you have a 103 mph fastball, id say its in everyones best interest to be in the pen where you can actually use it. You start throwing triple digits as a SP, you end up like Ubaldo Jimenez.

Imagine being an A Ball hitter trying to hit 103...

Itd be fun to have Stephen Johnson, Cordier, and Black in the same pen someday potentially.

BCraw and GCole gonna be brothers-in-law soon:

Don Mattingly probably felt uncomfortable. Surrounded by Giants, and sitting in the All-Star team picture despite being the worst manager in baseball.

Mattingly worse than Yost?

Yost isnt that bad. Mattingly is terrible.

You forgot Strickland.

Black was throwing pretty comfortably between 96-101 last night, striking out the first 6 batters he faced but started to lose command in the 3rd and was gone in the 4th. But yah, as a set-up man or closer, he's every bit the flame-thrower that Aroldis Chapman is. Interestingly enough, Black also has a pretty nasty slider and a very good changeup that he doesn't use often enough. Once Rags gets a hold of this kid, he's going to be deadly.

That said, he could be another interesting trade asset for us as well.

Going to cost too much and isn't really what the team is missing to put it over the top right now. Would be dumb to trade for him unless they get him for a next to nothing which obviously isn't going to happen.

This, While he would be fun to watch he isnt the piece the Giants need. If we are going to trade valuable assets it should be for a good hitting outfielder (preferably a CF). The Reds are going to want a lot for the premier LH closer in baseball.

It definitely won't be cheap, but Chapman does have an extra year remaining on his deal which means he'll be available to pitch in our annual even-year run for a world title (thinking beyond this year). To get him, we'd have to give up one of our top prospects and a few mid-level guys, but to get a closer of his caliber on this team would be worth it.

wow well worth it, especially if he has an extra yr! I would do it. You are getting one of the most dominate Left hand pitchers in the game.
