It's time to back up to truck and put everything on the Giants up for sale today. That doesn't mean they will sell, the price needs to be acceptable, but they should make every effort to cash in their assets for younger prospects with more upside.

I agree, but not just because I think they have a very small chance to make the wild card. The Giants offense is so bad that it will require a significant set of changes. Many of the players they have would be fine on a team that hit well enough to tolerate the relatively poor hitting of said player. However, right now, almost all of the Giants players are in that category. Dickerson and Solano have too small a sample size to know. The rest are "average" to below average at best. Posey could be coming back to his previous standard, but hasn't done so yet.  That makes it difficult to get an acceptable price for any of the players. It is like having a monopoly on factory seconds. It is worth something, but not much.

Buster just hit an HR and Panda hit an HR and Kevin Pillar hit an HR to put the Giants ahead 5-0.  Now back to the regularly scheduled grousing.

---

Pomeranz has been reborn since they moved him to the bullpen, particularly against lefties. But they already have Smith and Watson, so he was expendable.

Pomeranz is doing great in the 'pen, going the Eckersley route.  Always wondered if Tim Lincecum would have extended his career had he not insisted on being a starter.

Madbum and Will Smith staying put, so Bob can rejoice.

Gott, Watson and Moronta stayed put as well.  And there was much rejoicing.
