    I think winning the division definitely needs to be the goal, and I have no problem with the Giants setting that bar high. Winning a mediocre division can give us a false sense of security, and it gives the FO the leash to only make moderate improvements. Staying positive, maybe the Giants are doing us a favor and giving us the kick in the ass to make real improvements. We'll see if the FO responds. A deep system is great, but WS rings are better.

    Fuck it lets raid the Padres and send them a slew of AAAA players that are borderline big leaguers.

    Kemp and Upton platoon in LF
    Trayce and Joc platoon in CF.
    Puig plays every game in RF because screw you all!
    Ok when Ethier comes back be can take some innings in RF too.

    Oh yall hate Kemps defense right.
    Yeah he suck in RF and is horrid in CF.
    But yall want Jay Bruce in LF.
    The true worst OF in all of baseball.
    The Black Bison in left cant be nearly as bad as Bruce.
    Plus we have the Wild Horse in right and Young Cock flying around in center.
    Thats 3 manly farm animals in the OF that will play like a team.

    don't lump the kemp haters with the bruce lovers
    they both suck defensively
    i don't want either of them
    puig is not a team player and needs to be dealt sooner rather than later
    that is all... for now

    Yup, and they can argue with the pen's success thus far and their returning starters potential. We can't play much better than we have lately and are still falling further behind them. They are number crunchers and since the schedule and matchups do favor us, in theory, we can't only rely on them to falter or for us to pass them as the roster currently stands.

    All this is, of course, masturbatory crap since they have ZERO monetary incentive to spend on elite players due to the TV deal. Our only hope is if ego's come into play and GuGGs decides to say "Fuck this almost 3 decades shit already" open up and start buying non damaged and/or secondary level players.

    Gotta say though, 7 out of 10 and the better schedule does instill some hope. I only hope it doesn't end with us fans.

    And Kemp also has a negative oWAR, which neither Braun nor Bruce have
    Kemp is just all-around garbage, a negative in the attitude category as well, there's no justifying the love there

    I feel bad for Rube, loving Kemp without justification, as he does.
    There is no rhyme or reason...
    I liked Dee Gordon, if that helps at all.

    I like Dee Gordon too.
    Any player that loves to compete so much that he would use PED's is hard not to love.

    Brussel Sprouts on the grill with a butter and mushroom sauce are pretty good man.
    At that last night for dinner.
    With some carne asada.
