http://tinyurl.com/ykrzpuk 自由球員 Coco Crisp: Brian Sabean has all but said he is going to acquire a CF from outside the organization and finding a leadoff hitter is a priority approximately equal to CF. There is exactly one player on the free agent market who fills that bill, Coco Crisp. Crisp is not an ideal leadoff hitter as his OBP last year was just .314. However his career OBP is .330 and he's had it as high as .345. Oakland's ballpark kills BA while AT&T helps BA which would also help his OBP. The Giants have never worried too much about OBP in their leadoff hitters, even though they should. They do seem to be looking for a guy who can steal bases and Crisp is an accomplished base stealer with a career high in 2011 of 49 with just 9 CS. He also has a little pop in his bat with 40 XBH's. Sabean tends to be almost hyperaggressive in situations where he has identified a priority and options are scarce. If he's identified Crisp as his guy, look for him to overpay either in $$ and/or years to land him. I'm guessing $18-21 M over 3 years. 3 years is a risk with Crisp as he's had trouble staying healthy. His 136 games played in 2011 was the most since 2007 with Boston. The Giants experience with injuries in 2011 might make Sabes think twice. David DeJesus: If Sabes is working with a tight budget and is looking for a cheaper alternative to Crisp and a shorter time commtment, he might consider another Oakland A from across the Bay, David DeJesus. De Jesus is not a classic CF like Crisp and he's not much of a basestealer, but he does know how to get on base. His OBP was 10 points higher than Crisp's in 2011 despite a BA almost 30 points lower. His OBP has been as high as .384. Again, AT&T should help his BA. Sabean personally scouted DeJesus at the trade deadline in 2010 before he suffered a season ending injury so Sabes certainly knows who he is. Nate McLouth: McLouth has hit just .190 and .228 in the last 2 seasons with ATL, but his OBP is consistently 100 pts higher than his BA. He finished the season on the 60 day DL. ATL has a $10 M option that they won't pick up. Grady Sizemore: Cleveland is currently debating whether to pick up his $8M+ option. Sizemore was once a potential superstar whose career has been derailed by injuries. Lots of upside here, but I don't see Sabes taking a risk on him even if he's available. I could see him being available as a ST invitee on a minor league deal. Other FA's: Rick Ankiel, Carlos Beltran, Mike Cameron, Scott Hairston, Andruw Jones, Corey Patterson, Cody Ross. Ross could be back if he fails to find a multi-year deal elsewhere. I actually like Cody as a leadoff hitter even though he is not a basestealer. None of the other options really look like options. There seems to be mutual interest between the Giants and Beltran but there has been no talk of him playing CF. 可能被NON-TENDER的球員 Angel Pagan: The Mets are thought to be unlikely to tender Pagan. He's a legitimate CF and leadoff hitter. He and Andres Torres had similar seasons in 2010, but Pagan's dropoff was less steep. Sabes would have to wait until the arbitration deadline on Pagan which he has not been willing to do for high priority positions in the past. Tony Gwynn Jr.: Could be non-tendered by the Dodgers but again, there's the waiting factor and he's not an obvious upgrade over Torres. 可能的交易 BJ Upton: He's a SB threat and can play CF and has some power with potential for a lot more. I think he is just one year short of FA. His low BA and history of attitude problems may be a turnoff. He would be expensive in terms of what prospects the Giants would have to give up. I'm thinking Gary Brown would be the starting point. Doubt Sabes would do that, at least I hope he wouldn't and I kind of like Upton! Alex Rios: Rios had a terrible season for the ChiSox. He has 3 years left on a 6 year/$64 M contract. Has some upside and could probably be had for almost nothing in trade, but too much danger of him being another Aaron Rowand unless the 'Sox would either send $$$ in the deal or take Zito who is not owed much more total $$$ but over a shorter time span. Melky Cabrera: The Melkman had a pretty darn good season for KC. They have Lorenzo Cain waiting in the wings and may be looking to sell high on Melky. He has one more year of arbitration and will get a nice raise from the $1.2 M he made last year, but it will probably not be a huge amount and it's a short term commitment. The price in prospects could be steep though. Denard Span: Span had a disappointing season for the Twins and they may be looking to unload him. He's under contract through 2014 for a total of $15.5 M. The Twins would be looking for a significant prospect or two in return. Rajai Davis: With the acquisition of Colby Rasmus, Davis may not fit into the Blue Jays plans. He's can go get it in CF and is an excellent basestealer, but you can't steal first base! Under contract for $2.75 M with a $500 K buyout in 2013. Could probably be had for not much in return but is he a better option than a Torres/Christian platoon? 小聯盟契約到期球員 Lastings Milledge, Feliz Pie, Reggie Willits. Some upside with Milledge and Pie but somehow I don't think this bunch is what Sabes has in mind. 巨人再官網放出需求中外野手的新聞，那麼哪幾個較有可能被巨人隊相中呢? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 182.235.34.111
