There is rarely any sure thing.<BR/><BR/>I don't get the impression that the Giants are going to change his mechanics. They let Lincecum do his own thing, so I don't see why they wouldn't let him continue what made him so successful thus far. Both Sabean and Tidrow said that he's a starter so they will exhaust that avenue before making him a reliever.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-75782032256673802412007-06-11T18:20:00.000-07:002007-06-11T18:20:00.000-07:00I really love Anderson but it's still a hesitant l...I really love Anderson but it's still a hesitant love. I love the command and the potential 3 plus pitches but I fear that he could end up as just a reliever? <BR/><BR/>I really hate the idea of drafting a reliever. I also get a little leery when you have to change guys mechanics (such as teaching Anderson a windup move, when his own motion is really unique to himself).<BR/><BR/>I think at worst he'll be a solid bullpen member but I hope he'll be in the rotation eventually. I think Tidrow has commented that he thinks he's a starter, so that's a little comforting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-17365983811639307102007-06-08T23:54:00.000-07:002007-06-08T23:54:00.000-07:00Oh, and why a team would give us more for our pitc...Oh, and why a team would give us more for our pitcher is that while a team cannot use an extra good 1B, 3B, C prospect on their roster - at best, he's insurance in the minors - for the Giants we can use the guy in the bullpen, see Jonathan Sanchez, Brad Hennessey, they both projected as decent starters at minimum, but now they are doing well for us in the bullpen, contributing to the team. For example, A-Gon couldn't do much for Texas as long as Teixiera was at 1B.<BR/><BR/>So if they don't want to give us more, that's fine, we can use them in the bullpen if we want. They can continue to let their good position prospect waste time in the minors.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.com
