It’s January 31! Which means, for those of us whose internal clocks revolve around the baseball calendar, that we have survived the last baseball-free month we’ll have for the next nine months. True, February baseball is pretty much restricted to grainy, far-away iphone footage of anonymous hurlers’ bullpen sessions, and a bunch of “best shape of his life” stories — but it’s something!
Let’s celebrate with another There R Giants’ Free for All Mailbag. Let me know what’s on your mind as pitchers and catchers get set to report and I’ll have the mailbag ready for you next Friday to get you ready!
As a Giants fan, I have tunnel vision on the organization. What do you think other organizations that are doing a better job of developing talent doing that the Giants are not?
First, thanks for all you do and can’t wait for another full season of your coverage!
We all know the Giants are short on bats and quite long on young, close to ML-ready arms. Do you still see any trades in that sense being made before the season starts to boost the lineup? Or is this what we go into the season with and figure it out from there?
