Changes Are Needed

[Saber]

The offense won't be any good no matter what this year. I think the key is just to let the kids play when their ready or when their service time is properly tweaked, and set up for 2010.

It might not be good but it can be better. Aurilia and Velez don't fit into the Giants future so why have them on the roster? Lewis is far from being a kid so give Nate a chance.

Yeah, I won't deny that not playing Fred Lewis at this point makes any sense.

[love_that_reefer]

Why doesn't it make sense?

[Saber]

There's too many negatives there. Let's try: It makes sense to play Fred Lewis. If he's ever going to do anything, it's going to be now. Giving him a couple hundred ABs to find out won't kill you. Of course, the same applies to guys like Bowker or Schierholtz. They aren't young enough to kill youself over. I'm sure they'll get their chance.

Too many negatives like him dragging down our offense? He has played in every game but one so what is the harm in sitting him every now and then? Too many negatives in thinking he is the future in LF and that the Giants can't do better. Lewis can still get his 200 ABs but doesn;t mean we have to play him every game.

No, I mean my previous post had too many negations in it. Made it harder to understand.

[love_that_reefer]

Yeah it was confusing. We're on the level now.

One more week until two months of baseball have past and still no changes. I think this week is a big week for some on the fringe because the Giants cannot sit back and watch this offense struggle anymore. I see big changes coming after next week. Ishikawa better start playing like his job is on the line. Either rise to the occasion or prepare to sit the bench.

I agree, this offense has been struggling as a whole, we need guys to start stepping up! We shouldn't be losing close as ****ing games! When our SP are pitching there asses off!

Part of the Problem is Sandoval and Molina are your 3-4 hitters... if u had any middle of the lineup it would make everyone else better

That and our first baseman has 0 HRs and our LFer has 4 RBI. Molina and Sandoval are the bright spots if we can call them that. Giants rarely get a timely hit.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

I think CJ's right though, Sandoval and Molina may have been somewhat of a bright spot, but they're definitely not middle of the order guys. You have got to get somebody who strikes some kind of fear in the heart of a pitcher, or maybe even just make a pitcher think twice, and Molina and Pablo Sandoval certainly do not

Not denying that one bit. But we also need production from key spots like our corners and corner OF spots. Not happening
