I can’t read it but it might be true

Here is another piece to discuss:

Why do some Giants struggle with confidence? It’s part of the system

Industry insiders and scouts say it’s not a surprise that San Francisco Giants' players don’t have a ton of confidence, considering how they’re used.

Nothing really new. Though it is a good point that it tells players they not good enough and are replaceable. That doesn’t build confidence or a sense of actually adding to the success of the team.

It does give more credence to what some on this forum have said about the Giants not being able to attract free agents due to the way the team is ran. If true, that could further complicate this offseason. Probably why FZ leans so hard on bounce back candidates for his signings.

MLB Trade Rumors published their arb estimates for 2024. These all seem like no brainers to retain.

• Austin Slater (5.147): $3.6MM
• J.D. Davis (5.137): $6.8MM
• Mike Yastrzemski (4.128): $7.3MM
• LaMonte Wade Jr. (4.035): $3.3MM
• Tyler Rogers (4.034): $3.2MM
• Thairo Estrada (3.169): $4.8MM

Yeah. I don’t really see any arguments for not retaining all these guys.

I wonder if this is why Slater's production tailed off in the 2nd half

Are you suggesting that there may have been something happening with the Giants behind closed doors that we, as posters on the ‘hoop were not aware of?

Shirley you jest?

FZ: "If you sign with us, I promise to surround you with so many players that it will feel like you are in charge of an army!"

Brisbee today:

Haniger, Ross Stripling, Michael Conforto (if he opts in) and Sean Manaea (ditto) produced a cool 0.8 WAR for $38 million last season, with Haniger’s backloaded contract making that seem less expensive than it really is.

Yikes

I expected better from Stripling but I had my doubts on the other three the moment they signed. Still, Haniger's production when he could play was worse than I expected. That balances with Conforto playing slightly above my expectations.

Looks like, even if Cobb's option is exercised for 2024, the Giants will need to fill the rotation spot with openers or a short term starter. Hope Winn, Beck and Harrison get legitimate shots.

Alex Cobb To Undergo Hip Surgery

Alex Cobb will undergo surgery on his left hip labrum on Tuesday, the Giants announced.

I wonder if anyone predicted this fall?

Maybe there is a Japanese pitcher out there just waiting to help a team out
