8/5 Dutch @ Snakes

[calsnowskier]

Holland has a 3.88 ERA this year

He makes 1.75 this year and is a FA this off season.

1) What will he cost?
2) Do the Giants go after him?

All reports say he is a big hit in the locker room, so you gotta think he will stay with a competitive offer. But would he offer a discount?

Going into next year, the rotation looks like...

1) Bum
2) DRod
3) Sammy
4) Suarez
5) Blach / Stratton

We definitely need at least 1 more arm, maybe 2 (3?).

It's a tough situation as he could be looking for a solid payday, but I'd probably be okay with a 2/16 deal or something? That seems to be the going rate for veteran back-end starters coming off a slight resurgence year. Considering DRod and Suarez are making the minimum, and hopefully the tax won't be an issue next year, I could be okay with that (assuming he keeps pace this year).

The market for starters next year is pretty shallow. I'd probably only like them to go after Eovaldi, Corbin and Morton, but they're going to command a lot more than $16m.

Ray Blac coming in

 

[SFGRTB]

Ray Blac with a disappointing 1-2-3 inning

 

[SFGRTB]

31 straight batters without recording a hit off Black

 

[SFGRTB]

LONGONE!

 

[calsnowskier]

Longo go Longo

 

[Stokes1931]

Can’t get that cheese by me, meat.

Longo!

 

[calsnowskier]

Black in line for his first MLB win...

 

[SFGRTB]

Matt Winn has moved up to AA as well.... I'm really thinking we'll see Garcia at AAA or MLB tomorrow

No K’s, he is slipping.

AAA maybe. No reason to call him up to the show.

 

[calsnowskier]

I LOVE how they have avoided Goldy today. We have been SCREAMING for this for how long now??

Well we still don't know if Posey can catch or not. If Posey is stuck at 1st for awhile, could send Law or Johnson down and add Garcia

edit: But the fact that he's not here yet probably signals he's in Sac

Garcia is still listed at AA, along with Arnold, Riley and Winn (although Riley has played more 1st than catcher).

While Holland has been great this year, I probably lean more toward tzill's thought about Holland not maintaining this next year. My concern would be stuck with two years of poor production if they bring him back. Maybe SF can do wonders with his career but, prior to this season, he last had a good year in 2013.

I'm just speculating here. Out of the lineup two straight games since the Posey injury, no word on any injury to Garcia. Just connecting the dots

Yeah I don't see him keeping up this pace for long (figured he'd decline already, TBH), but I'll bet the Giants bring him back. And if they do, I'd be fine with around 2/16. More than that and I'd be skeptical. But with the CBT allegedly not being an issue after this year, I don't really care how they spend their money

Something has to happen with the catchers at AA. I know the Giants will typically carry 3 on many of their minor league affiliates, but 4 is just too many. Freeman is still listed at AAA, so I don't know why Winn has been moved up. SJ reinstated Tanner Murphy from the dl and kept Corbett on the roster.
