Mock Roster Proposal
Now that Aaron Rowand is a Giant, here are some other moves to make:
Tim Lincecum for Alex Rios
then
Matt Cain for Melky Cabrera
then
Noah Lowry/Jonathan Sanchez for Coco Crisp
then
sign Mike Cameron to a 3-year/$40M deal.
then
sign Corey Patterson to a 3-year/$30M deal
The result would be this lineup:
Dave Roberts - CF/1B
Melky Cabrera - CF/2B
Alex Rios - CF/RF
Aaron Rowand - CF to rule them all
Randy Winn - CF/3B
Mike Cameron - CF/C
Coco Crisp - CF/SS
Corey Patterson - CF/LF
IT WOULD BE A LINEUP OF CENTER FIELDERS!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two things would make the Aaron Rowand signing okay:
- His power doesn't drop back to the 12-homer Rowand of 2005 or 2006.
- The Giants now try and move Randy Winn in a deal that helps solve the Giants' corner infielder problem.
Meet the new Sabean, same as the old Sabean.

Re: Adopted!
Your general responsibilities as adopter are defending your adoptee when they start to get canned on. Mayor of 311 was Sabean's adopter (since given him up, I believe). He had the hardest job.

I'm okay with it.
Also, I think that this signing makes it very obvious that Winn, Roberts, or Lewis are likely candidates to be packaged away in another deal. I'd be VERY surprised (even taking into account Sabean's track record) that we're going to start the season with this many outfielders.
The other pros to this trade....
We didn't have to trade Lincecum or Cain to get him.
It probably also means that Matsui is off the table. I thought that was a bad idea to take him on.

Re: Mock Roster Proposal
So, this would be trading a market-value CF platoon (Roberts is a overpriced) *and* two draft picks for an above-market CF with great defense.
Idiot.

Re: Mock Roster Proposal
2005-2007 road slugging
Rowand .438
Roberts .414
If you think those 25 points in slugging make up for Roberts 15-point OBP advantage, you may well be right. Results in comparable ballparks indicate, however, that over the last three years Rowand and Roberts have been very much the same batter.

Re: That's a somewhat ridiculous comparison
Rowand 788 .438
Roberts 679 .414
100 extra ABs are not something to sniff at, so I'll rephrase: Rowand's bat is the same as a platoon of Dave Roberts and Rajai Davis.
Rowand is better than Roberts and Davis, but not by much. Davis's slugging vs lefties over the same three years? An adequate .394, with a .377 OBP.
Davis plays pretty good defense, too.

Re: Mock Roster Proposal
Winn
Rowand
Schierholtz
Back up: Davis
Trade Roberts for corn flakes and milk to be named later.
Id be okay with trading Winn as well and keeping a Roberts/Davis platoon.
Just please, do something about this. My blood pressure cant take it and i'm only 23 dammit.

Re: Mock Roster Proposal
Like Rowand, Sabean has chased after an object with full, unbridled force. The object could, possibly, have been attained, if the correct path was taken to it. However, the smart route was not taken, with Sabean and Rowand bloody and broken, face first into a wall.
In Rowand's case, it was a ball. In Sabean's case, it's a World Series Ring.

I really hope this signing means that the Giants will unload some of these outfielders, and I don't mean the young ones.

Re: Mock Roster Proposal
The sum conclusion (based mostly off BABIP) was that Rowand was going to come back down to earth, and that the power wasn't going to last. Well, the power lasted, although his numbers did come down to something more resembling his very solid 2004 season.
So, which Rowand are we getting? The .270/.320/.420 from his worse years, or the .310/.370/.515 from last year? If the former, then yeah, this stinks. If the latter, I don't hate this move. Yeah, I hate the money, and the years, but that production from CF, even regressed to a .290/.340/.470 isn't horrible.
That's the best I can come up with. If Rowand doesn't suck, this move isn't horrible. Good lord, but that is a pathetic excuse for an argument.
Snap judgement: the only reason I don't hate this move is that it means Lincecum stays. Addition by non-subtraction?

More of the same
If we can swing trades for both Roberts and Winn - or at least one of them, plus getting something useful for Lewis and/or Davis - then this will make some sense. In the meantime, though, it looks an awful lot like the thinking that led to last year's four-first-basemen lineup.

Re: Mock Roster Proposal
For: Rolen+Duncan
Nevermind... pipedream and I knew it the instant I was done typing it, but maybe that would net us a decent 1B/3B combo. New starting OF is Schierholtz Rowand and Lewis. Hell, this general idea just makes too much sense for Sabean, even if the Cards would bite.

Re: Mock Roster Proposal
"Rowand is a prime candidate to drop off after posting big numbers in his walk year with the Phillies. Thanks in part to the offensive-friendly environment of Citizens Bank Park, where he batted .319 with a .937 OPS, the 30-year-old finished with career highs in homers (27), RBIs (89) and runs (105) last season. Now, he'll be playing half his games at AT&T Park, a much tougher venue for hitters. Rowand will probably top off at around 20 jacks, with subsequent drops in RBIs and runs in 2008. Leaving a potent Phillies lineup for one that's still under post-Barry Bonds reconstruction doesn't help matters, either. Throw in his decreased activity on the basepaths, and Rowand is looking like an average mixed-league outfielder at this point."
