NO! Bad Sabean!
The Giants like Adrian Beltre, believing he would thrive in the more fastball-oriented National League, but a source said they have not exchanged names with the Mariners.
WHAT THE FUCK SABEAN?!? He has already gone back to his veteran loving ways, obviously not learning from the past. He’s like the dog that won’t stop pissing in the house no matter how many times you whack him with a newspaper.
So, Adrian Beltre, huh? The 30 year old that owns a career 107 OPS+, which includes one suspiciously monstrous contract year. Oh, and we would have to give up something for him in a trade as well AND he’s only signed through 2009, so it would be a one year rental! AND he’s owed $12million in 2009. I wouldn’t be so opposed to this if Bill Bavasi was still the Mariner’s GM, because he could at least be fleeced, probably doing a 1-1 trade for Dave Roberts or something. But, now, seriously, Sabes would probably give up Villalona or something for a one year rental.
The Marlins seemingly would swap first baseman Mike Jacobs for catcher Bengie Molina, but the Giants aren’t interested.
Sure, why wouldn’t Sabean want to trade 1+ years of Bengie Molina rental for Jacobs, who is only slugging .511 right now in an extreme pitchers’ park. Sure, his OBP leaves much to be desired, but he’s still a huge upgrade over Bowker and would be under team control until at least 2012. He’s only 27 and ownes a career 110 OPS+. If he doesn’t work out, guess what, you just don’t offer him arbitration in 2010, the same year Bengie would be walking away anyways. Meanwhile, you’ve saved a ton of cash and, since young players sometimes do this, maybe find a breakout 1B who can actually hit 30 bombs.
But, no, I guess John Bowker is the long-term solution at 1B…
So, once again, fuck you Sabean. You are a moron and I hope you get syphillis.
