Just an old guy's opinion

At the plate, what I've seen from Slater, Dickerson, Mini-Yaz, Pillar and now Dubon this year is enthusiasm, aggressiveness, energy and real, down deep desire.

They may screw up, but it's not from a lack of any of those.

Not so for Posey, Belt and Crawford.


What I saw from them, and continue to see, is complacency, almost to the point of, we can't win, so why really go all out and try.

Whether it's intended or unintended I don't know, and it's taken me a long time to figure out.

But it's what I have seen, and continue to see from all of them.

Against a tired, tired, Cardinal team, it's what I saw again today.

It looks for all the world as if they simply don't care, or have given up.

I choose both.

Problem with Posey, Belt, Crawford is that the Giants are stuck with all of them. Two have complete NTC’s and the other has a limited one. This is all because of Bobby Evans and Sabean. Then again, they’re so overpriced what other team would want them anyway? The Giants have two options here. Number one, view those contracts as sunk costs and spend big money as if they’re not there, or do little for the next two years as they wait for those contracts to expire. I hope they do the first, but we all know it will be the second.

I had a feeling that was going to be the issue, Mark.

But still, perhaps they can get something for them... even if we have to pick up a little or a lot of their salary.

To hold on to them dooms this club for 2...3 more years, and I don't believe Zaidi would do that.

At least I hope not.

They have to go.

Have to!

Or at the very least, Belt does.
