  1. didn't need to give up any young talent or picks by signing Bader. now let's try to get Donovan to play 2nd and fill high average leadoff hitter role.

  2. This organization is a joke nickel an dimming bargain goodwill hunting an expect to compete with the dodgers how dodgers draft an develop an get big time players to sign giants cheap ownership wants to play money ball an expect to win World Series like they did they don’t want to remodel the ball park that is a nightmare to hit home runs the giants better enjoy their past world championships because with this ownership not willing to spend this organizations bad scouting an drafting ain’t going nowhere fast get used to mediocrity an worst the only way it gets better is if ownership sells to owners who are willing to spend like the dodgers better ballpark for offense an a better staff to draft an develop

  3. I am underwhelmed. Whoop-de-doo…. the Giants signed a subpar hitting center fielder. Check his numbers; mediocre to below average OPS, BA, and WAR every season except last, when the BA and OPS were slightly better than average. Yes, the fielding is an upgrade but we also need hitting.

  4. Kinda sad to see that the kids wont be playing any time soon. The giants went and bought a whole starting team in the last 3 years, sadly for bigger chunks of time. Im afraid theyll let go good prospects cause theres no space to give them a shot

  5. I like Allen a lot as a person and cant wait to see him at Rivercats games this season. But I dont get the continued format of this show, doing less than 30 minutes with 75% ad reads. No guests, no superchats, no interaction with fans what so ever. Its the same show as when Ben was here. Allen is much better at this but the format is still very dull.

  6. Not impressed at all. It's so obvious the Giants are not serious about contending. Greg Johnson should sell the team to Joe Lacob. The Giants had numerous chances to bring in quality winning players but choose instead to sign marginally average players. Harrison Bader is a nice sign, but he is far from being the answer to this teams defensive outfield problems, Sill a .500 team

  7. Would be interesting to see the Giants peak into the Geno Suarez situation and see if he’d be open to a 2B switch on a short deal. Use Koss and Schmitt as UTIL infield options

  8. The Giants hired an arrogant prick to be manager. No mlb experience or even minor league experience. His player from Tennessee is also an arrogant prick.

  9. We still don’t have a solid second baseman or a catcher that can hit or another solid starter or closer. Oh wait am I asking for too much. That’s what Logan Webb is saying right now. It’s ok Logan you will get to play with players like that in the WBC and I’m happy for you!
