Either one of Ellsbury/Choo make sense for the Giants, but that would be a lot of money committed to Posey/Pence/Pagan/Timmah/Cain and whoever they sign. They do have MadBum signed cheaply and Panda is done after 2014 if they don't want him any more.

Or not.

Orlando – The Giants have been one of the many teams thrown out as a contender for Jacoby Ellsbury and Scott Boras’ $145M proposition. Not happening. Brian Sabean isn’t likely to surrender the 14th pick in the draft, and with a lack of power on the Giants isn’t going to pay that kind of money for a player over 30 who has hit double figure homers once.

Juan Perez a worthwhile endgamer in deep NL-only leagues where 4-5 OF per team are rostered? With the Giants declining Torres' option, there would seem to be some at bats available. 10 HR, 18 SB in 382 AAA at bats last year, with just 1 HR and 2 SB in 89 major league at bats last year.

I'd think there have got to be other last OF that will get you more PT than Juan Perez

As a one-time Perez owner, I have to agree. Unless you're Billy Hamilton, all the speed in the world isn't going to do you any good if you never start games.

From Rotoworld--

"The Giants were interested in Mark Mulder but backed out after he requested a major league contract.

Mulder hasn't pitched in a big league game since 2008 and he wasn't effective after 2005, so he's likely going to have to settle for a non-guaranteed minor league deal if he indeed decides to go through with this comeback attempt. The lefty turned 36 years old in August."

If he really requested a major league contract, Sabean must have laughed his a** off before saying, "He** no." Points for the chutzpah, though.

Too bad, they could have reunited the Oakland A's "Big Three" of Hudson, Mulder, and Zito...and overpaid for every damn one of them.

Fat Panda appears to be working his way down to slightly overweight Panda - rumor has it he's dropped over 40 pounds in the offseason. Altogether coincidentally, it's also his walk year.

Is Lincecum even worth rostering in a mixed league anymore?

Tim Lincecum serves up three homers vs. Royals

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(3/23/2014) Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum endured a rough outing on Sunday against the Royals in Cactus League action,

Lincecum yielded seven runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out seven. He served up homers to Salvador Perez, Jason Donald and Carlos Peguero.

Although Lincecum raised his ERA from 4.30 to 6.52, manager Bruce Bochy is still pleased with the lack of walks he's issued this spring. He has an 11:5 K:BB ratio over 19 1/3 innings.

"Today certainly inflated (the ERA) but I really liked, for the most part, where he was with his pitches," Bochy said, per the Mercury News. "He has kept the ball down and commanded the fastball. Usually in the spring, that's what he battles. For the most part he has been pretty good with his command. Today he was just off."

[eephus]

Those HR on Sunday might just have just been long outs at AT&T Park but anybody who's seen Lincecum the past couple of years knows he's capable of giving up a big inning or two every time he starts.

He still contributes SOs but is nothing more than a fantasy streaming option until he proves otherwise.

I live in SF and love watching Timmy work but Morrow was very impressive last night. If he's healthy, I'd rather take a chance on him.

People are still asleep on him, but Quintana has become a very good pitcher...

[bryanbutler]
