2019 Rosterbation

[tzill]

I knew ESPN was bad, but my gawd they are incredibly off. Shark, Cueto, Posey and Sandoval are apparently not Giants anymore.

Use this site San Francisco Giants 2018

wow. Don't visit that site on LSD....

RosterResources is really good. I a man not certain they are 100% accurate, but they are a really good source.

For the roster, I use this site...

Current Roster

I don't know, that source is sketchy. I heard the guy running it relies, a lot, on others to update his information. Not so sure those sources can be trusted, especially if they pull from ESPN.

This has a lot of good information on it but if you just want the roster, go to www.sfgiants.com and click on the Roster link. Its pretty straight forward and they keep it up to date.

I like Lonnie as well, but not that much!

I'd prefer them to stay away from pretty much everyone on that list outside of the top 3. Maybe I could be swayed by Smoak, but what do you do with Belt? Plus the defensive drop off would be huge. I like Marwin Gonzalez more as well, but only because he's versatile.

I put Chisenhall that high considering his age and his offensive production the past three seasons. He's been a bit more consistent than the others (outside the top 2). I did not take into account the defensive parts of their games. The reason I focused on offense is due to the fact that is what the Giants need. Gonzalez' bat isn't that great. I think Hanson could fill that role a lot cheaper than Gonzalez.

I guess it depends on the price for Marwin. If he's pretty cheap, I'd take a shot on him. That's why I like Lonnie as well, though. He should be very cheap and as some high payoff.

If Lonnie is cheap, then he is well worth the look. I still think Gonzalez would not be an upgrade. Remember, he's put up his numbers with Houston as his home park. I cannot see him doing better than Hanson.

I would be good with Grendel and/or LeMehieu

Wouldn't hurt to have both Hanson and Marwin

Grandal would bring a good bat but how does he fit on the team? Shift Posey to 1st? Move Belt to the outfield? Trade Belt?
LeMahieu would probably be an upgrade over Panik, but I haven't looked at his Coors/road splits. Do you non-tender Panik? His value as a utility player is really limited.

Want nothing to do with either, personally

If the team carries 13 pitchers, I would think the team would only need one of them. Sandoval is going to be the other utility infielder.

Why carry a 13th pitcher when you have Sandoval?

I would only want him on a 1 or 2 year deal, so he probably wouldn’t sign here, anyway. But yes, I would imagine moving Posey to 1st, at least for 50% of the time. Belt would be a 1B/LF or traded. Hundley would be allowed to walk.

I have always liked LeMaheiu. The year Panik won the GG, I thought LeMahieu deserved it. That dude is a beast. I have not torn apart his numbers, though. I don’t know how the Doors effect hits him.

LeMahieu's home/road split in 2018 - .324/.368/.453 at Coors, .229/.280/.445 on the road.
His home/road split average for 15-17 - .346/.416/.473 at Coors, .293/.347/.385 on the road.
At AT&T - 2018 .217/.269/.391, 15/17 .368/.427/.414

I'm torn on this one. His 2018 season suggests that he may not be a good pick up, offensively, but his 15/17 are more solid on the road and at AT&T. Not sure about this one. But I will say, it will be hard to move on from Panik, despite how frustrated I've been with him this year.

I think I prefer staying out with Panik as well, but I don’t talk to him or watch him workout/prep every day. I get the sense the org is ready to move on. Unfortunately, it is a year or so too late.

With both Belt and Panik, their trade value is down at all time lows. I do expect Belt to bounce back but Panik's hitting has been trending south for a couple seasons now.
