As many of us expected, the Giants did not make any big splashes in the Winter Meetings. My feeling is that they are saving up money to bring back key players who are due arbitration and also to save money for the future when Cain and Lincecum are free agents. Plus, the Giants have more confidence in their farm system than they did in the past.
I read one article (and I'm sure there are more) that have pegged the Giants as losers in the Winter Meetings, but I don't really mind the strategy that Sabean and the top brass appear to be following. Sure many of us woulda liked to see the Giants land Jason Bartlett, but just because no big moves were made doesn't mean you're a loser. Sometimes it's the moves you don't make that are the best. There's a part of me that thinks that teams like the Sox and Nationals are just crippling themselves with the big money they're throwing out there, and I'm glad that the Giants aren't doing that anymore like they did with Zito and Rowand.
