SF Giants talk and collecting thread
Adam Duvall's name keeps coming up. He's hitting very well in AAA Fresno (.294/.357/.634, 22 hr, 64 rbi in 60 games), but as we know from guys like Brett Pill, John Bowker, and Todd Linden, hitting well in Fresno doesn't translate to hitting well in SF. Still, to avoid having Perez and Blanco... -

2nd base is a problem Hick's 0fer-or-gopher approach has yielded a lot more "0fers" than "gophers" lately. Arias is not a starter, and Adrianza's presence on the team is questionable. Giants brass say he's here because he can contribute at the big-league level, but most of the writers... -

Yeah, I bet you liked it. ;) AT&T favors pitching, but when comparing park factors, Coors is on another planet. 2014 Park Factors: (>100 favors hitters, <100 favors pitchers) CO: 117 batting, 117 pitching LA: 102 batting, 101 pitching AZ: 101 batting, 102 pitching SF: 99 batting, 98 pitching... -

As big of a Giants fan as I am, I only get out to 1 game a year, and I don't linger in the surrounding area before or after. While in the park, if you're looking for something tasty that's not a hot-dog, make sure you go get it before the 6th inning, because things start running out. Oh, and... -

He's signed for 4 years on the cheap, but I think his value is mostly going to be for development potential. Giants don't have many outfield prospects in the farm system, and that could be a problem down the road. Casilla's been activated, and he's a huge upgrade over Kontos (who was optioned... -

I've never seen those cards offered anywhere other than FanFest, or on Ebay (being sold by people who went to FanFest). -

Hmm, the Giants just signed Cuban defector Daniel Carbonell, a 23 year old outfielder with "5 tool talent" according to scouts. It's a major league deal, so he was put directly on the 40 man roster and his option clock starts now. -

A couple of new additions: 2013 Bowman Chrome Black Refractors #/15, Joan Gregorio and Gustavo Cabrera. Cabrera's the guy who suffered an off-field wrist injury late in 2013 so severe that, according to Baseball America, he "appeared to nearly lose his right hand." Bobby Evans says the injury... -

So, how long before the Giants cease to have the best record in baseball? Dropping 3 of 4 to the Nats, and getting ganked in the 9th inning of consecutive games by the Rockies in SF makes for some pretty depressing baseball over in the City by the Bay. The Giants have been on a magic carpet... -
Question about this graded card and a missing serial number
Maybe. Maybe not. Seems more like those "proof" Bowman Chrome refractors that show up on Ebay. The fact that the original Soriano and the "replacement' Soriano are both on the BGS pop report makes me think that something fishy is going on. The PSA pop report also has a "1 of 1" Soriano... -
Question about this graded card and a missing serial number
I looked at the BGS pop report and see see that there are 4 of these "1 of 1" parallels that are noted as "missing serial number" that were all graded on June 4, 2014 (a few days ago). Alex Rodriguez, Josh Beckett, Tim Hudson, and Alfonso Soriano. The problem is that there is already an... -
PSA slabbed what appears to be a faked Lincecum auto on a "proof" refractor
PSA investigated it and concluded that it was indeed an error on their part to slab this card. -
Caught these d-bags searching packs at Target today....(pictures included)
I stopped buying retail packs when almost every pack I bought contained cards that were visibly scuffed and scratched, apparently damaged when the searcher was pushing cards around inside the pack. The lemon analogy doesn't work, because as you're picking the best lemon, you're not damaging the... -
Caught these d-bags searching packs at Target today....(pictures included)
Generally, adults on these boards frown heavily upon other adults searching packs. What if you saw a couple of 13 year old kids searching packs at the local Target? -

A few recent additions to my collection... 2006 Bowman Sterling Black Refractor Tyler Colvin #/25, currently platooning in LF for the Giants. 2004 Bowman Chrome... Kendry Flores #/25, Joan Gregorio #/50, Martin Agosta #/50 Young pitchers among the top 20 prospects in the Giants org. -
Nolan Arenado latest star to break finger sliding head first. Out at least 4-6 weeks.
Ok, maybe not "little" league, but in senior league (pre-high school) we did it all the time in the late 80s/early 90s. -
Nolan Arenado latest star to break finger sliding head first. Out at least 4-6 weeks.
So, did they stop teaching little leaguers how to properly slide or something? Seems like this sort of injury is happening a little more than usual. -

I emailed PSA with a link to this auction, btw. -

Out-of-the-pack autos from 1998-on don't need to go through PSA/DNA. -

Maybe if the Topps mail room guy signed it. -
PSA slabbed what appears to be a faked Lincecum auto on a "proof" refractor
Link to auction. 2007 Bowman Chrome Refractor autos were all serial numbered to 500. This card has no serial numbering, plus the auto looks way off from Timmy's autos on his other 2007 cards. -
Getting So Tired of these kinds eBay Buyers
From the scan, it looks like there's a scratch over his glove. Is there one?
