What if Cody Ross isn’t Ready to Go?

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on March 24, 2011

If his right calf injury is as serious as it looked, this could have some fairly far reaching implications to the opening day line up. Schierholtz could go from “guy we’re trying to ditch” to our starting right fielder. Who else could Bochy run out there? Maybe DeRosa? He could put Huff out there and that would be another reason we could see Belt opening day—but with the Giants just needing to delay Belt’s service time by 10 games or so, I would be surprised to see that happen. If it did, the easy chop would be Ishikawa. Tough one to swallow, I like Ishikawa……..

The Bonds trial hasn’t made any sense to anyone (including me) but I think I’ve finally figured out why it’s happening: ego. If you are the D.A., how would you rather spend your time? Prosecuting dirtbag drug dealers and murderers? Or prosecuting Barry Bonds where you get to see your name in the paper every day and sit 10 feet away from the HR King for a few weeks? What a sad joke this all is………

Bonds trial…….no comment.
Mega Flavor said, on March 24, 2011 at 7:45 am

Kuip just said on his show that he talked to the trainer this am and Ross is definitely gonna miss some time. Implications?
zumarust said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:04 am

I like going with the water-buffalo defense in the outfield if we have to. Burrell in left, Huff in right. Belt starts at firstbase with the big club.
ewisco said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:05 am

I’m completely ignoring the trial. As for Ross, I’m sure it’s further opened the AR door. Given a choice, Bochey and Sabes will keep the gamer. Hopefully, once teams see that they’re not going to just release him, someone will make a legitimate offer (a warm body and cup of coffee?). But I don’t see Ross coming back in “days”. He needs his wheels and they should make sure he’s ready.
Kevin said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:11 am

This gives Bochy and Sabes a chance to show case Rowand, Rowand in Center, Torres in Right. Belt goes down.
Kevin said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:25 am

With that said, does anyone think Rowand cares what happens with his carreer?? I mean he has a ring. He knows the Giants don’t want him and his agent knows nobody is calling about him. So does he even care anymore about what happens, he is getting his payday. I know pride and all that should come into play, but…
- zumarust said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:29 am
  
  Not to be picky- but he actually has 2 rings. (White Sox ’05)

    He missed Phillie’s by 1 year . . .
twinfan said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:25 am

“Given a choice, Bochey and Sabes will keep the gamer.” Based on what? He played less than any of the OFers in the second half last year.They want him less than other teams do. “Given their choice” he’d join the clergy and return 24 million..
- ewisco said, on March 24, 2011 at 12:32 pm
  
  based on their track record of keeping vets and not shedding salary.
willied said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:28 am

I’m with Zum. Huff proved last year he can handle it. If you have to you can bring in Nate for late D. If the difference is what Belt, deRosa or Nate could bring you, that’s a no brainer.

Regardless of need, Nate is still Nate. In 500 ABs over 2 seasons, he has 8 HRs, under .700 OPS, and OBP barely above .300. The 2 months last year when he got the most ABs of the season he hit .211 and .192. So my guess is the more you use Nate, the more he sucks. While he cut down on his Ks last year, his avg. actually dropped to .242. No way he is part of the best LU Sf could put out there.
zumarust said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:32 am

And speaking of Schierholtz- he had the worst at-bat of anyone in the game yesterday. The bases loaded, two-out, and he struck out on 3 pitches, looking completely over-matched. To be fair, the Angels pitcher did have real good stuff yesterday. Still- it was a chance for Nate to make a statement, and he went down pretty quietly.
zumarust said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:41 am

I saw mixed results with Tejada at shortstop yesterday. He made a real good diving catch to rob an Angel of a hit. That was very encouraging range-wise.
But he also made a bad throw later in the game. He’s a adequate replacement for the Renteria/Uribe combo at shortstop. Uribe has the better arm, but flubs grounders once in a while. Edgar’s big issue is injuries….being able to stay on the field. The Giants would have made a better effort to re-sign Edgar if he hadn’t missed half the games with injuries.
- zumarust said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:45 am
  
  And obviously there’s no way the Giants needed to re-sign Uribe at 3 years/21 million. I like Uribe a lot, but he was on the decline the second half of last season, and the Giants are feeling better these days about developing position players in the minors.
Rough Trade said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:49 am

Well, if it’s a RHP, I would think they go with a LH lineup
and also get their best defense alignment on the field.

It’s Huff -Torres- Nate with Belt/Travis at 1b.

Against lefties, it’s Burrell/DeRosa, Rowand Torres, Huff 1b.
twinfan said, on March 24, 2011 at 8:58 am

I don’t think they’ll change their position on Belt because of an injury.If they don’t think he’s ready for everyday play, he won’t stick. Water Buffalo OF, Ishikawa at first, Nate for defense as last year.
What’s with the BB? Equal time for hermaphrodites?

willied said, on March 24, 2011 at 9:01 am

As for rowand, I’m sure he is preparing himself to play like he always does (which he might, but somewhere else). In reality I doubt he is anything more than a D back up in LF/spot start and RH PH bat off the bench. I really doubt Ross situation changes Bochy’s use of him.
Bozo said, on March 24, 2011 at 9:01 am

“Given their choice” he’d join the clergy and return 24 million.. Good one twin.

As a fellow clown, I root for Cody (even to the point of getting him for my FL team), so I hope he’s not down for a long stretch of time. The bench is deep with DeRosa and Huff added to the OF mix, so the Giants will be using multiple lineups until he returns.

The Bonds trial will be a roller coaster of a ride. Right now, I’m more interested in how the reporters handle their reporting than the outcome. The few things I’ve read so far seem to be slanted more towards how the reporter felt about Bonds than the trial.

Marilyn was sexier by far than Liz . . .

Liz was gorgeous, but Marilyn was gorgeous and crazy.

  Burton got as much tail in his life as a porn star. Yet, he kept coming back to Liz. That’s gotta mean something…

  That is so true!

    I meant that about Chucks comment. Burton was only one guy, every dude wanted Marilyn!!
- snarkk said, on March 24, 2011 at 10:10 am
  
  I’m partial to blonds myself, married one. I get it with Marilyn. But, maybe our perceptions get colored a bit by the fact that she died at the age she became that sex icon. There’s no other vision of her except that erupting female volcano of eroticism. Liz became an old lady, she wasn’t frozen in time as that sizzling Maggie in Cat. Damn straight that for a one nighter in the ’50s, you couldn’t lose with either. Here’s a quote from Burton upon seeing a young ET: “She was,” he proclaimed, “so extraordinarily beautiful that I nearly laughed out loud. She… [was] famine, fire, destruction and plague… the only true begetter. Her breasts were apocalyptic, they would topple empires before they withered… her body was a miracle of construction… She was unquestionably gorgeous. She was lavish. She was a dark, unyielding largesse. She was, in short, too bloody much… Those huge violet blue eyes… had an odd glint… Aeons passed, civilizations came and went while these cosmic headlights examined my flawed personality. Every pockmark on my face became a crater of the moon.”…

    From an obit I read this morning: “Even the closeted Montgomery Clift later had to admit she was ‘the only woman I have ever met who turned me on.’ ” And you are soooo right about Liz in “Cat”: It is impossible to take your eyes off her while watching that movie.

With the Bonds thing, I sense a weariness of it even from ESPN. They’re not that interested either. The season is about to start. Everyone’s excited about their teams’ chances this year. Everyone just wants the steroid era to go away.
snarkk said, on March 24, 2011 at 9:36 am

With Ross out for a while, in some ways it might be small blessing in disguise. It crystallizes the decision as to what the Giants really want/need in the OF bench. Is a RF defensive specialist that important (Nate) if Ross were to go down for a long time, or is a LHPH more critical (Ishi), and just move the Gamer to CF and everybody else in the OF moves around? I think it means Nate goes north and seals the deal that Belt stays down until the smoke clears. Plus, the Belt free agency delay for at least 10 days seems like a no-brainer to keep him down for a while…
Del Mar Dennis said, on March 24, 2011 at 9:41 am

Anyone get a final count on how many worms Miggy reaped with that throw yesterday?
I think they’re still ducking for cover.
- zumarust said, on March 24, 2011 at 9:49 am
  
  That whole play was weird. I also had the sense that Nate wasn’t sure where he was throwing the ball on that play.

TedSpe said, on March 24, 2011 at 10:00 am

Choosing between Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor is like choosing between prime rib and filet mignon. There is no absolute right.
But consider this. From what I’ve heard and read, Liz was a genuine slut (and I mean that in a good way), Marilyn faked it. So…

Belt starts in Fresno. It’s simply a good business decision.
- snarkk said, on March 24, 2011 at 10:22 am
  
  Ted, speaking of belts, when they filmed “A Place in the Sun” in 1949, ET was 17, playing the lead opposite Montgomery Clift, he was almost 30. Seventeen! Lindsay Lohan couldn’t hold her garter belt….

    All strains are muscle tears to some degree. I think they just waited for the MRI results to announce the severity.
- Del Mar Dennis said, on March 24, 2011 at 4:07 pm
  
  Yeah, not too good. At least 3 weeks and maybe more.
  
  Huff in RF and Belt at 1B would placate the fans. But if memory serves, the Giants aren’t in the placating business.
eddacker415 said, on March 24, 2011 at 4:00 pm

my take on ST today? The managers are mostly happy with what they have seen; not including Ross’s recently regrettable rupture. It is time to back off and enter the sweat lodge of preparation prior to play.
Cain: working on something different, like what ST is for.
Wilson: over training
Position Players: group timing
everyone else: aerobics and stretch: it is a long season ahead.
By this time(11pmPDT) next week they will have traveled to SF then Oakland then back to SF and then to LA and will have played 4 full squad games, as they will all season, as
Your World Champion San Francisco Giants.
woo hoo!
eddacker415 said, on March 24, 2011 at 4:08 pm

    “Jimmy likes Elaine. Jimmy’s going to ask her out. Oh, yeah”
zumarust said, on March 24, 2011 at 4:20 pm

From Extrabaggs:
“The Giants have a few options to replace Ross. In today’s lineup, they stated Nate Schierholtz in right field. They also could move Andres Torres to right and play Aaron Rowand in center. Or, and this seems to be the choice of Giants Nation, they could play Aubrey Huff in right field — where he played for a time last season — and start rookie Brandon Belt at first base. (They also could start Travis Ishikawa at first base in that alignment if Belt begins at Triple-A Fresno.)

It should become clear in the next few days how Ross’s injury will affect the guys on the bubble (Schierholtz, Rowand and Ishikawa) and the lineup.”
Flavor said, on March 24, 2011 at 6:11 pm

I am having a hard time understanding the Ross hysteria. He’s going to be out 3 weeks, that’s only the first 2 weeks of the season. We’ve got plenty of options. In fact, the Huff RF/Belt 1B would likely IMPROVE our offense (if they went that way). Shit, if Nate played well he could out perform Ross for a few weeks, maybe longer.
I’m more worried about Wilson, we have a lot of the “same guy” down in that bullpen—dudes with great stuff but who can be prone to walking too many people and who don’t have any closer experience.
twinfan said, on March 24, 2011 at 6:31 pm

You probably saw Plan 1 already: Romo and Affeldt.

Romo/Affeldt is fine I guess. Casilla would be my pick if I thought he was sane. But hey, maybe his insane innings is a reason to run him out there. Runzler just doesn’t have enough experience. Marc Kroon is getting fucked on this deal, he is the best candidate we have on the roster to be a short term answer….

Flavor said, on March 24, 2011 at 7:23 pm

so I have a friend at work who has been asking me these enigmatic questions lately about the Giants, with this sly smile on her face. At first she was asking me if I wanted to go to a game this year which one would it be. Team, day/night/weekend, etc..Then today she asked me if I could eat dinner with one player on the team, who would it be. In a nano-second I told her Lincecum or Torres. She walked away with that same sly smile. She’s not telling me anything and I’m not asking her anything but I know she’s got some high level hook ups within the organization so I am starting to let my thoughts run wild on this……

dirtnrocksnreno said, on March 24, 2011 at 7:23 pm

It is strange regarding Kroon but the last thing I’ll question Sabean and Bochy on is the PS. Maybe they want to include him in a move but that seems unlikely when the dude hasn’t seen a butt crack of daylight in AZ.
twinfan said, on March 24, 2011 at 7:38 pm

The guys who have kicked around: Torres, Kroon…those are the type of guys I’d seek out.

Zito’s final line: 6IP, 7H, 4R, 2ER, 1BB and 5Ks. Only 42 pitches, of which 37 were strikes.

Oh, btw, we can’t score anymore. 18I and counting…

    Over a coupla days. Yosemite Valley was shut down for about 5 days, just got power back in most places today. Kirkwood Skiresort \south of Tahoe just had 2 feet in the last 24 hours, 4 feet in the last 48 hours, and almost 12 feet in the last 7 days. They expect over 2 feet from the storm today and going on right now, plus maybe another foot and a half tomorrow through Saturday. Snow depth at its base of 7500 feet is around 20 feet and growing. Scatman Crothers has been sent out in the snowcat…

Um, I’m not following this game online anymore — or anywhere else; it reminds me too much of Torture and is unsettling to fragile souls like moi.

Duke is going DOWN. A bit of a shocker. I think Barkley called it at halftime and everyone looked at him like he was blowin smoke Oha.

Ariz couldn’t miss and Duke couldn’t rebound. Bad combo for Duke
