I'll start this one off with a bit of an odd transition. The Reds dfa'd a recent free agent acquisition. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/reds-designate-austin-wynns-for-assignment.html

Wade - 1b Yastrzemski - rf Davis - 3b Pederson - dh Estrada - 2b Conforto - lf Luciano - ss Sabol - c Fitzgerald - cf Brebbia - op Nice to see Conforto and Yaz flipped in the outfield. Wonder why the Giants didn't put Flores on the IL along with Junis. With just 6 games and virtually no change...

So, did injuries have a large impact on how the 2023 season went? I think that dismissing injuries altogether is silly but so is just assuming that an IL stint makes an impact. All teams deal with injuries so there is a certain level of expectation that some guys will miss some time due to...

Prior to last year, it was pretty cut and dry, the worse your team played, the higher the draft position in all round of next year's Rule 4 draft. However, now there is a lottery system for the 18 teams who don't make the playoffs. Theoretically, any of the 18 non-playoff teams could get the...

Wade - 1b Yastrzemski - lf Flores - 3b Pederson - dh Estrada - 2b Conforto - rf Luciano - ss Sabol - c Fitzgerald - cf Walker - op No Matos and no Ramos. Like these slappies are going to do anything. And why isn't Walker shut down for the season? This past couple of weeks makes it obvious that...

Wade - 1b Flores - 3b Pederson - dh Conforto - lf Estrada - 2b Yastrzemski - rf Luciano - ss Sabol - c Fitzgerald - cf Harrison - sp

Wade - lb Yastrzemski - cf Davis - 3b Pederson - dh Conforto - rf Matos - lf Bailey - c Crawford - ss Estrada - 2b Webb - sp Reds lost the lead against the Twins in the 9th and are down 3-5 in the bottom of the 9th.

Yastrzemski - rf Estrada - 2b Flores - 3b Pederson - dh Wade - 1b Haniger - lf Sabol - c Crawford - ss Matos - cf Winn - sp Nice to see Pederson off the field, where he belongs.

Wade - 1b Estrada - 2b Flores - dh Pederson - lf :L Conforto - rf Davis - 3b Bailey - c Meckler - cf Schmitt - ss Harrison - sp Giants up 1-0 going into the bottom of the 1st, thanks to some sketchy fielding by Schwarber. Of course, he proceeds to hit a lead off double off Harrison in the...

Giants going for the sweep. Slater - cf Estrada - 2b Flores - 1b Bailey - c Davis - dh Ramos - rf Matos - lf Camargo - ss Schmitt - 3b Junis - sp Apparently, another transaction occurred this morning. Matos back up.

Why do I smell a shutout? Wade - 1b Meckler - cf Flores - dh Pederson - lf (again!?!?) Conforto - rf Davis - 3b Sabol - c Camargo - ss Estrada - 2b Webb - sp At least Camargo hasn't fallen on his face since getting the call up. And what happened to Ramos?? Buried at the end of the bench?

Wade - 1b Meckler - cf Flores - 3b Pederson - dh Conforto - rf Bailey - c Sabol - lf Crawford - ss Estrada - 2b Junis - sp Interesting that Ramos sits yet again. Is Sabol really going to get more playing time in the outfield? Seems dangerous when he is the only other catcher on the team besides...

Wade - 1b Meckler - cf Flores - 3b Pederson - dh Conforto - rf Bailey - c Sabol - lf Crawford - ss Estrada - 2b Walker - sp Some notes: No Ramos today. Guess 3 Ks in one game (even with a double for the 4th AB) will do that. So Flores can handle 3rd base but he'll still be DH'd at times so...

Slater - cf Estrada - ss Flores - 1b Bailey - c Davis - 3b Matos - lf Conforto - dh Ramos - rf Mathias - 2b Cobb - sp Nice to see Ramos draw a start but this is clearly the B squad of the D squad. Hopefully, we can win 1-0

I realize that we didn't start a thread on the team's top prospects this year (or last year for that matter). I do think we condensed those conversations in the "Down on the Farm" thread but I thought it would be cool to have a separate thread, after seeing MLB.com update their Top 30 list...

And its on the day one of his "wish we would have gotten him" pitchers throws a no-hitter (against the Nationals) Wade - dh Estrada - 2b Flores - 1b Pederson - lf Davis - 3b Conforto - rf Bailey - c Crawford - ss Matos - cf Walker - opener My thought about a recent defensive alignment has come...

Okay, just kidding on that. I think we all know Ohtani won't be a Giant next year (but one can dream). Here's tonight's lineup: 1. Slater - lf 2. Estrada - ss 3. Pollock - rf 4. Flores - 1b 5. Davis - 3b 6. Bailey - c 7. Conforto - dh 8. Matos - cf 9. Mathias - 2b SP - Webb Wow, this is a...

https://www.mlb.com/news/tyler-rogers-rising-submarine-slider Here is a great article on Rogers' unique delivery and how his pitches function opposite of most pitchers. I found this paragraph particularly interesting: "When Rogers was in the Minors -- where he spent over six years before his...

Right now, the Giants are performing much better than I expected, in many ways. While some of us may say that this team's performance in the past month and a half was expected, others would say it is surprising. Some of us may expect the team to continue to do well while others expect a...

Estrada - dh Flores - 1b Conforto - rf Davis - 3b Haniger - lf Crawford - ss Schmitt - 2b Bart - c Johnson - cf Wood - sp Interesting defensive configuration. It may be quibbling, but I wonder if Estrada at 1st and Flores at dh would be better for run prevention.

Slater - lf Estrada - 2b Haniger - rf Davis - 3b Flores - 1b Villar - dh Schmitt - ss (!!!) Bart - c Wisely - cf Webb - sp Excited to see Schmitt tonight! Hope he and Villar have big games! Webb throws a gem and Giants win 4-0

Slater - cf Estrada - ss Haniger - lf Davis - 3b Flores - dh Conforto - rf Villar - 2b Bart - c Wade - 1b Webb - sp Weird to see Wade at the bottom of the lineup. Seems like a better place for Conforto or Villar. Speaking of Villar, hope he is able to take advantage of more playing time. I...

One month into the 2023 season, here are highlights throughout the organization: San Francisco hitters LaMonte Wade Jr - .243/.430/.529 (162 OPS+) Thairo Estrada - .346/.393/.529 (151 OPS+) JD Davis - .289/.355/.530 (139 OPS+) Mike Yastrzemski - .292/.333/.521 (131 OPS+) Joc Pederson -...
