I thought it was also safe to say that wouldn’t sign a big pitcher like cueto after they got samardizija. I believe they will give another big contract this year and then sit on their hands next offseason as that market is not nearly as good.

Evan’s quote regarding Blanco had to have been one of the softest landings on a demotion to 4th outfielder stated in a long time.

Well he was always supposed to be the fourth outfielder the past couple years, but injuries to the outfield kept happening, mainly Angel Pagan.

You can’t get demoted when you were never the jobholder. Blanco has only started in significance when Aoki was hurt or Pagan the year before. He does fine when he’s called upon. Blanco is a good 4th OF and the only option they have right now. He’s just saying they’re fine with him there but better with him playing all over and getting a better bat in LF.

Evans has got to get an everyday outfielder for LF. Please, no more Marlon Byrd, Alejandro De Aza, Kyle Blanks…we need to see a difference maker brought in to add depth to the line up.
That being said, it doesn’t need to come from free agency. There are outfielders out there that could be had. Marcell Ozuna is probably the most interesting name that I have heard could be available. Carlos Gonzalez is another difference-making bat. Also, I couldn’t see them ever trading him, but there was an article on MLBTR a little while back about George Springer being talked about. Obviously, he would be my 100% focus if that was true, but I doubt he is.

The Giants don’t have the prospects or major league talent their willing to give up to get springer or ozuna

With Pagan set for free agency after this year, getting a stopgap LFer would mean that they have 2 outfield positions to fill next offseason. So I think it makes sense to spend more to shore up LF for a few years. Having to fill LF and CF in the same offseason would be a daunting task.

Get a legit bat for left, Bobby. You know Blanco is going to be needed in center two months into the season when Pagan gets hurt anyway.

Just a suggestion but couldn’t a team try to pry Braun from the Brewers?
They are rebuilding right?

They had Aoki and they let him go for nothing.
Ekostuke
Blackmon and Cargo
Or Braun ?

I love their moves so far, and patience seems to be the way to play LF for now. There are a number of quality outfielders left and I am hoping the slow moving outfield market translates into better value as more teams needs are filled. Blanco prefers being a 4th outfielder and will be key when injuries undoubtedly happen. I have a feeling that we are going to be pleasantly surprised this time around. Go Giants!!

The Giants should get someone like Alex Rios or David Murphy.
