I try my best! <br /><br />Glad you didn't mind my rant, though, as usual, I kind of went off on a tangent (a good one, it seems, and related, but still a tangent).<br /><br />Yeah, these "experts" upset me, as I worry that 1) they influence fans to think their way, then 2) Giants management might listen to them. Another expert just chastised the Giants, reminding them about how bad the team was last season. These are the type of knee-jerk headline writers I've railed against for all these years, and why I feel compelled to write.<br /><br />For example, I see the Moore trade, right now, as appeasement to those thinking that the Giants area woeful team. They are woeful in health, but if everyone is healthy, we actually have a pretty good team. We could have been great if Moore just pitched like he has the past couple of seasons, but if he can put it all together, then we could have another ace-level starter. I don't see the Giants lucking out in that way with any of the free agents, in terms of upside. <br /><br />If they get Dyson signed soon, then I'll feel better about the move, because getting him would be adding 3-4 wins to the team from improved offense and defense, if he just does what he's done the past 5-6 seasons. But I think they could have signed him even before trading Moore. So I will need to see the Giants do something with this extra space for me to feel good about the trade, right now it smells to me, but a good signing or trade could turn my feelings around. obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-53976387313749720502017-12-18T18:13:32.157-08:002017-12-18T18:13:32.157-08:00Great post.Great post.MosesZDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702323080585738748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-70938393840849128672017-12-18T16:03:53.831-08:002017-12-18T16:03:53.831-08:00I don't really get into discussing sports onli...I don't really get into discussing sports online but just want to tell you that your blogs are about the best things I ever see anywhere about Giants baseball. I remember your article from (I think) last year when you broke a lot of this draft stuff down - very solid work and I just want you to know it IS appreciated by other hardcore fans, even if we don't come on board and tell you so. <br /><br />The only other writer I have ever sent this sort of thank-you note to, BTW, is Schulman. <br /><br />Thanks again, and just keep up with the great work, please!2300skiddoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334007674186954845noreply@blogger.com
