I don't know if Rhys Hoskins was much of a fit for the Giants. They're just not athletic enough to add another defensively-limited position player even if it was on the type of contract that the front office prefers.
I would have been ecstatic if the Giants got him, but he is not free of warts. If the Giants determined that he was not a target (he was never linked to us in the media and I only heard rumors from no-names on the inner-webs), I am OK with that strategy.
And don’t we need a backup shortstop? 
Seems like a pretty big overpay for something we already have on the roster, who is cheaper.
I fear it’s Chapman. Krukow has bet his “credibility” on KNBR multiple times that the Giants will sign someone of substance this off-season (besides Lee).I wonder if we are going to resign Belt now ?
Also my fear .... I have read (somewhere) that FZ is pretty much moved away from looking for another SP. They said he was satisfied with the Ray and Hicks pickup. The only big splash left is Chapman ...
I really REALLY do not want Chappy and the 200+ Ks he brings.
Not sure how I feel about that. I know his wife (she briefly played softball at the university I worked at) but I feel like he would be a bit redundant. Does he play super utility? I'd hate to see Bart and Villa go, but as cal says, they aren't getting any more chances with the Giants.
I don’t see either being worth your worry. I had high hopes for both, but they just can’t sustain any momentum be it injury or slump. Best case scenario for both right now seems to be serviceable backup catcher and decent platoon mate.

Why Adames? He isn't that good offensively.
We couldn’t trade a 1st if we wanted to. Baltimore had a comp balance pick, which are the only picks that can be traded, and even those can not be re-traded (meaning Milwaukee couldn’t trade it if the wanted to).
Power, excellent defensively.
per the analysis I've been reading on the inter webs, Lucy + Whiz is equivalent to Hall and Ortiz
