In the last week of the normal season, we provide the best mail bag of the normal season of the giants:
Who will win the Willie Mac Award this year?I voted for Yaz.
I’m saying you made a smart call. Mike Yastrzemski is not only the most productive player on the team, but also excelled as a spokesperson for social and team issues. I also like Alex Dickerson, Johnny Cueto, anyone? Meanwhile, we are all the wonderful Willie McCovey, who died on October 2, a glorious human being named after this ultimate inspirational award.
@CandlestickWill Farhan Zaidi has two pitchers for Kevin Gausman and Drew Smyly who are expected to sign in the off-season. Will you give both contracts for several years or let them work?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to stay either because there’s a definite need. Cueto, Tyler Anderson and Logan Webb will remain under the control of the team, leaving gaps. We don’t know how long it’s going to take Sean Hjelle and Seth Corry to get into the rotation. Gausman will probably be more loved (and coveted) after signing for $9 million and pitching the whole season. Smyly signed for $4 million and wasted a lot of time. Perhaps the monetary aspect is an explanation of why bringing Smyly back is a greater possibility. A strong festival awaits and we will see if giants take it seriously to spend cash after wasting profits from the pandemic.
@NichLittle still a little unknown with injuries, exchanges and things like that, but the Giants have tried to remain their popular veterans. How much time does it take before the last of the former WS-winning veterans leaves the team?
Well, we’re three. The Brandons and Buster Posey, they’re all signed next year, and that’s it. Now, because of the way Belt and Crawford have played this season, there may be a chance that one or any of them will return with a minor deal in 2022, boy Possibly Marco Luciano would be shorts shortsteak until then. We can’t make the same judgment about Posey because we haven’t noticed this season. There is a possibility that everything will disappear in 2022, which would be incredibly strange, given what everyone has meant. for the franchise and the city.
In your opinion, is gmoney1197 Joey Bart making his first home run this season?
@NerfLegend Bart frustrated that he hasn’t been successful yet?
Fans love the argument with Bart. The media too, like many, I was in favour of the receiver’s call when he did. For the Giants, it wasn’t just about giving their most productive hope a chance. It was a matter of necessity. With Posey retired from the season and Stephen Vogt as Diamondback, no one held the number one catch position. Bart is the most productive in the group of 60 men, but he has a lot to notice in the marble. about Gabe Kapler analyzing Bart’s problems, which is less about the lack of strength than the lack of touch and field of dishes. Yes, I say there are symptoms of frustration after bats, but it regularly passes the page when it catches it. , yes, I’d say he’s going to make his first house run this season.
@TheRealKVE It’s more common to think out loud, because I know it wouldn’t be the Giants’ way of saying anything openly, but I wonder what the inside feeling is in the clubhouse after Tyler Anderson’s tantrum. a domino effect the next day.
It’s the first time in four decades that I’m not in a dressing room for a normal-season game, and it’s hard to feel the same atmosphere with Zoom, anyway, this kind of thing doesn’t appreciate e-teammates or coaches, and it has. created chain effects with an overworked paddock. I wonder if the referee would have expelled the pitcher with enthusiasts in the stands who would have helped drown Anderson’s words. However, that cannot happen, as he admitted Anderson. No is a day when it was so vital to immerse himself deeply in the game. To Anderson’s credit, he confessed his mistake and continued with a forged beginning, the most productive way to move from a “very bad place,” as you called it.
@TheRealKVE’t know if I can ask two questions but . . . Can you tell us more about Basabe?I haven’t heard from him before his recent sudden appearance. Where, when and how did you get on the list of plans?
Of course, Baseabe acquired the White Sox for cash on August 9 and returned to Sacramento. He is 24 years old, from Venezuela, an alternate hitter, full name: Luis Alexander Basabe, and a double brother in the Diamondbacks system: Luis Alejandro Basabe, both signed through Boston, had not played as high as Triple-A. Giants love their speed and defense see bat in development. It has an average Range of Array248 among miners, but the giants have looked more at this: base percentage of Array345.
SGiants99 Since Trevor Cahill is now out of jail, is it still for Jeff Samardzija (if he’s healthy)?
I think Samardzija can also be an effective reliever at the right speed. He is the forgotten man, who has played only 3 games this season and spends the rest of his time on the disabled list. He has built his workload up to five innings in Sacramento, however, it is nothing more than a guarantee at this time, and we might have noticed him launching his latest release with the Giants.
@ScoutingGW Will the new Giants call in the last week of the season?
@StevesBseball With the thin giants in the gardens a week away from normal season, is there any chance they’ll call Heliot Ramos?His ETA is next year, his bat has a lot of pop and he has a strong arm (60th place) Who said no?
I would say that it’s not just because including a child in a lineup in the last days of a playoff race is unfair. Remember, Bart adapts to major league pitches. The Giants are not buried in the standings as we speak, so their quick desire is that their major league players will be more productive in the latest games.
Ryan021328 Do the Giants have young pitchers?
We don’t listen to elite pitcher customers for smart reasons. They are not on the secondary site. The Giants made the organizational resolution not to go with them on the 60-man team, but with their most sensitive clients. The concept is that pitchers can exercise more gently on their own, and that hitters would get a daily dose of paint, adding game simulations. What this will look like in the long run is an estimate, but has been private. Hjelle and Corry and many other representatives at the highest point next to the big leagues. The answer is yes, they have some smart young pitchers besides Logan Webb who will want to improve their mentality and accept their talents as true if they want to be a force in 2021. You have to meet lefties Kyle Harrison and Nick Swiney, whether they are theirs. In the 2020 draft, Harrison from De La Salle High School and Swiney from the state of North Carolina. The Giants liked Harrison so much that they paid him a $ 2. 5 million bonus for not going to UCLA. Also see Tristan Beck, who came from the Braves under Mark Melancon’s contract and looked fabulous in six Class A starts at San Jose. Ah, here’s someone you might see soon in the majors: Camilo Doval, who struck out 80 batters in 56 ⅓ innings last year in A-ball. Some other names: Luis Madero, Blake Rivera, Gregor Santos, Kai-Wei Teng.
Was Mauricio Dubon fined through having Blue Dodger in his heels?
If Madison Bumgarner isn’t fined for crashing off-road motorcycles and missing much of a season, Dubon will get a blue pass. It would be better to play Kangaroo Court – a long time ago, McCovey the Giants judged – whether fashion players still had a kangaroo field.
