Flores is a good giant and worth the money but the team is going in the wrong direction again with this signing.. We need to sign players who can olay defense with speed which are ot symbolic of Flores's play..
Id rather we saved the 13m over the next 2 years and penciled in one of our younger guys like Roby or Fitzgerald instead

I'm okay with the signing with the proviso that he doesn't play in the field that much and that they dump La Stella.

Speaking of the dump, Ruf and Casali have fallen off a cliff and their new teams are definitely not happy with them.

Oh oh. I'm hearing from Baggs that they may exercise Longoria's option.

Why?
In my opinion, that is on Beyond stupid.

The thinking is that Villar plays most of the time at third. The Giants value Longoria's leadership and knowledge and productivity (seen mostly as right handed DH) when healthy. Baggs thinks he will have a load management program like Posey did. If they take up the club option and get rid of LaStella, it might work. A lot will depend on what they get for 1B. I'm not crazy about Belt coming back because he's hurt all the time. Villar might end up playing at 1B if he's not at 3B and the only free agent candidates are Rizzo and Bell.

Yesterday, Belt was on the radio and he said his knee felt a lot better after the surgery and that he could not see playing for any other team. The way he sounded talking with Krukow and Kuiper was that he might not be back. I value his defense and hitting ability but I value a player that can stay on the field a lot more. MLB.com has a ranking of all the potential free agent 1B and they rank them by WAR over the past two years. Even with the injuries and missed playing time, Belt is still the fourth ranked free agent 1B in terms of WAR 2021 and 2022 which goes to show how poor the FA 1b class is.
