Have a bad feeling...

Ok after reading the article on the Giants Website I really don't like what I read. I have a sneaky sneaky suspicion that the Giants are going to settle on signing Beltre(who has been so OVERRATED since that one season he had with the dodgers in 04' I believe..you know what season I'm talking about) and that would be a TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE deal for the Giants. I can see it now, Sabean: "We are proud to announce the newest addition to the Giants Team 2 years for 20 Mill. Adrian Beltre!!" Let take a look and see how he did last year... well a .265 Batting Avg...no thank you. What about his power numbers...8 HR's and 44 RBI's.. COME ON SABEAN What are those the magic numbers to play on the Giants? That's basically how well the entire team did last year, no counting Pablo. I'm really tired of these "Has-Been" players getting signed to the Giants and Sabean sugar coating it and selling it as a great pickup for the Giants. If the Giants settle for and overpay for Beltre I'm going to have a hard time supporting Sabean this season.

Is this what you want to see on the Giants, an X Dodger!

I think the only way the Giants will be able to improve the team is by trades. Giants have plenty of weapons to trade away to teams that have some great hitters and are in need of some young pitching. I say for now if we can't trade for a young and proven hitter we just wait and see how Ishikawa or Garko pan out during Spring Training. Ishikawa could be a diamond in the rough and didn't have that bad of a Rookie season. He has power and a great glove, add some confidence to him and he might be an Allstar. It is a whole lot easier to play when you know you have the job, Giants FO needs to make Ishikawa feel he is going to be given another shot at the job. Give him another chance!! Garko on the other hand, I think Giants shot themself in the foot when they made the trade for him. Hopefully he has some trade value left and the Giants can dump him off to another team in a package deal for a hitter. The next couple of months are going to be interesting and I hope and pray to god Giants don't make foolish deals!
