[jOOj]

As long as we don't give up our belly button.

[Ramp]

what's the use of it being wet? You are relenting and it's costing us.

SIGH.

when the bag is wet, it can cling to things.... such as bases.... such as staying on 3b for a force play

[Metes]

We should trade for Walker.

We should trade for Welker.

[Nick]

I don't think the Patriots are interested in Cantu.

[Metes]

So says you.

[Jay]

I don't think the Patriots are interested in Cantu.

*we shouldve done Cantu for Sanchez a couple yrs back, can Dan Runzler be the guy the Marlins are looking at? He's injured but I know he's been discussed before.*

Giants Step Up Pursuit Of Jorge Cantu
By Tim Dierkes [July 28 at 8:25am CST]

The Giants have stepped up their pursuit of Marlins corner infielder Jorge Cantu, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. They may hold an edge over the Rangers and Rockies. He says the Fish are believed to be seeking a young lefthander. The Giants have been using Travis Ishikawa at first base lately, while third baseman Pablo Sandoval is set to return from personal leave tonight.

In terms of young lefties, the Giants have reliever Dan Runzler on the DL with a knee injury and starter Eric Surkamp at High A. Clayton Tanner and Craig Clark also fit into their Baseball America top 30 prospect list heading into the season. Joe Martinez cracked the list the prior year.

Yesterday ESPN's Jayson Stark wrote that the Rangers and Marlins' talks for Cantu appeared hung up over dollars. The Rangers want the Marlins to assume all of the $2.22MM remaining on Cantu's contract.

ehe teams wanting Cantu.

[emkayseven]

They've wanted him for a while too, haha

I like surkamp

[Bucklin12]

I like Surkamp too, but he ain't enough. I hate that Texas seems to be falling out. Such better prospects.

[Ralph]

Yes, Surkamp would be good. Sabean should be fired for that though.

[Bucklin12]

Not if we're paying

[emkayseven]

As much as I like surkamp though, I thought we were looking for spects closer to MLB ready?
