Walton? LOL. Can't play, can't release him fast enough. LOL.

Lex... Gonzalez has no idea how to properly go back on a ball hit over his head. Wade's advantage is that he can play first. Gonzalez probably a .270 hitter, Wade maybe .240.

I don't like either one. Maybe Estrada can be everyday LF and sign two guys who are better than Slater and Yaz. "We'll spend" is a nice phrase but they have to deliver on it. Farhan says he wants guys who can play everyday. Now prove it.

Wade got over the Mendoza line on the last day of the season.  Giants have plenty of guys to play first - with or without Belt.  Both may go- on that we agree. If I’m keeping one -it’s Gonzalez. I like his speed.

And as for Zaidi - YES it’s time to prove it.  This winter is his biggest challenge yet.

I think it is only fair to mention that Wade was plagued with injuries this year.  Does that mean he will return to good health and resume his “late-night Lamont” persona in 2023?  Nope.  But it does mean that he should be given another opportunity to prove his value.   

By the way, Correa opted out today.  Another SS possibility?

Sure.  Perhaps the new GM helps.  Wade was a two month wonder.  I don’t think he will return to that.  He has increased his launch angle and the results were not pretty.  He has little speed. In not strong defensively.  The bat doesn’t play enough to make up for the rest. Gonzalez makes better contact.  And he has speed. Something the Giants  sorely lack.  He’s raw.  But I think he has more upside.  Frankly, my hope is they bring in a couple regular OFs through trade and/or FA.  Or maybe Estrada moves to left when they sign a big time SS and Craw moves to second…

Yaz and Slater platoon in right.  Two regulars man center and left. No frigging  platoon. (Nimmo would be a nice add).  If either Gonzalez or Wade are anything besides a 5th OF, not good…..

We agree…

Nimmo in CF
Yaz/Slater in RF
A free agent regular in LF (Benintendi?)

Add either Wade or Gonzalez as a fifth OF and the Giants are good to go.  

Yes, I would love Judge to sign with SF but I don’t think the Yanks will let him get away.
