How can the SF Giants improve? A position-by-position breakdown

It's clear and obvious that the San Francisco Giants need to improve their roster after two straight extremely disappointing seasons in which they had designs on contending. But where, specifically, should the Giants improve? A position-by-position deep dive is made in an attempt to find spots on the diamond where the SF Giants ought to improve, with this year's free-agent class in mind. The Giants are set at a few positions, such as catcher with Patrick Bailey and second base with Thairo Estrada. After that, there is a lot of positional flexibility and potentially solid production, but a lack of impact talent. There's uncertainty at shortstop with Brandon Crawford a free agent and top prospect Marco Luciano still unproven. Matt Chapman, Cody Bellinger, and Jung-Hoo Lee are some of the only free-agent position players who stand out as potential fits. On the pitching side, however, the SF Giants are already in a strong position with Cy Young runner-up Logan Webb anchoring what figures to be a strong staff, per the Steamer projections. If the Giants make a serious upgrade at starting pitcher, perhaps they could trade from a surplus of young arms to improve positions on the diamond, where the free agent market is exceptionally thin.

Brain health has been at the top of my health radar for 2023. I have already done powerful episodes with Dr Dale Bredesen and Dr Kristen Willeumier, but this episode with incredible genius and inventor Dr Brandon Crawford blew me away. He is taking brain health and healing to a new level with his custom-invented lasers that leverage different frequencies, wavelengths and colors to heal the human body and brain. He is constantly pushing the boundary of brain health and healing, and I cannot wait to have him on again in a year or two and unpack his latest discoveries and inventions.Dr Brandon Crawford is a functional neurologist with specialization in childhood neurodevelopment and photobiomodulation. He is the owner and lead physician at NeuroSolution Center in Austin, Texas, and the co-founder and managing partner at branches in Atlanta, Georgia and soon Dubai as well as their comprehensive product range. Dr. Crawford is known for his work and advancements in laser and light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, specifically within functional neurology. Join us as we explore:Dispelling one of the most disempowering myths out there – that neuroplasticity, or our ability to rewire our brain, is something that stops after childhood. This is wrong! We can change our brains and therefore our minds till the last days of our lives. How neurodevelopmental problems in childhood can persist into adulthood and express as different symptoms, and how Dr Crawford's unique auditing and assessment system can pinpoint neurological “wounds” and address them with simple, non-invasive techniques.How Dr Crawford treated a case of a girl with severe autism who “wanted to rip his face off” to the point that diagnosis is gone! The NeuroSolution pillars: ESM – energy, sensory and movement, and why Dr Crawford felt it necessary to invent custom lasers for brain healing.Photobiomodulation, mal-illumination, blue light-blocking glasses, how light frequencies are languages and what God created before life was light!Innovative brain healing techniques Dr Crawford is using every day to change lives, and ideas he has for the future of brain health.Contact:Website – https://www.drbrandoncrawford.comWebsite - https://www.neurosolutionatx.comInstagram - @bcrawforddcMentionsStudy – Long term effect of low frequency (10 hz) vagus nerve stimulationSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Another critical offseason for the San Francisco Giants has officially begun. The Texas Rangers are World Series champions, and now the Giants will get to work to turn their fortunes around. The SF Giants have made the playoffs only once in the last seven seasons, which is an unacceptable fate for a team of this market size and stature in the game. The Giants must significantly improve their roster this offseason, and they appear poised to at the very least make their best effort to do so. Free agency officially opened today, but free agents can only sign with the team they finished the year with for the first five days of free agency. This is unlikely to affect the Giants in a meaningful way, as free agents like Joc Pederson and Brandon Crawford are unlikely to return in 2024. Five days from now, not only can free agents sign with any team, but option decisions are due and qualifying offer decisions must be made by teams. We will know on Monday whether Michael Conforto ($18M), Sean Manaea ($12.5M), and Ross Stripling decide whether to opt in or opt out. The SF Giants must decide whether to exercise their $10M option on Alex Cobb or whether to set his loose and pay a $2M buyout. Cobb's recent surgery and lengthy recovery timeline complicate the decision. The non-tender deadline is also a critical date coming up in the next couple of weeks, and the Giants have six arb-eligible players. Most are easy decisions, but there are a couple of potentially borderline ones to look out for. And finally, in about a month in Nashville, Tennessee, the Winter Meetings will take place. This is when a flurry of activity usually takes place, with some of the top free agents signing contracts around this time. Like they were last year, the Giants figure to be heavily involved in the biggest names. This free agent class is headlined by arguably the best player in baseball, Shohei Ohtani.

SF Giants' Pockets: Deep as Zaidi Says?

The San Francisco Giants' payroll has been a hot topic ever since new president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi took over following the 2018 season. Since that time, the Giants' payroll steadily decreased until is eventually stabilized at around $162 million—until this year it shot up by $30 million. The theory that's been discussed on Locked On Giants numerous times is that this $30M increase is likely explained by MLB's sale of BAMTech to Disney for $900 million, which was evenly split among the 30 teams, for a total of $30M per team. Zaidi, however, continues to claim that there's no "cap" on SF Giants spending from ownership, and that it's his job to make recommendations on players to sign and that, in theory, they'd give the green light if Zaidi makes a good enough argument. The pattern described above somewhat suggests otherwise. But there are exceptions. Bryce Harper, for example, was offered $310M by the Giants in Year 1 under Zaidi. Had they signed Harper, the payroll would've been significantly higher than it ended up being in 2019. So it does appear that, for the right player, the San Francisco Giants are likely to make an exception and spend beyond the break-even point, which has been the oft-stated financial goal by high ranking club representatives. Other questions on today's mailbag edition of Locked On Giants include: Do you think they offer Brandon Crawford a bench role next year? Does he play elsewhere? Do they offer him a front office position? Is HE the next manager? Why does Zaidi keep saying the Giants are an attractive place for free agents when they continue to miss on the top guys? Do you fault ownership, the weather, or triples alley? What do you think is the future of Blake Sabol vs Joey Bart as a backup to Patrick Bailey?

The firing of manager Gabe Kapler wasn't unexpected, but his firing with three games left was. We speculate on why he was fired with three games left, and where the Giants go from here. This is a meaty, longer episode where we dive into the psychology of the firing, and whom they may hire as Kapler's replacement. The Giants finished below average in almost every category, yet finished just below .500. That in itself is a testament to squeezing blood out of a stone, but at the same time, the Giants were 13 games above .500 and only needed to finish with a barely sub-.500 record from that point to make the playoffs. Miami and Arizona made the playoffs with a mere 84 wins while the Giants had 79. That's only a 5 game differential. Just one extra win a month. Baseball is cruel. We also give our postseason picks, reminisce about Brandon Crawford's career, and we'll be back in a week or two to talk playoffs and free agency.

First things first, the San Francisco Giants need a new manager. So it was no surprise that when Farhan Zaidi met with the media on Tuesday morning that most questions centered around the SF Giants' managerial search. Would Zaidi be open to hiring a first-time manager? Or would he be looking for someone with more experience? Zaidi's main response was that he wants the next Giants manager to be a premier recruiter of talent. Which seems to suggest Kapler was not able to do that in a meaningful way. Zaidi also talked about the Giants' offseason plans beyond their managerial search. He highlighted outfield defense as an area where the team came up short, and that getting more athletic there would be a priority. However, Mitch Haniger is under contract for two more years. Michael Conforto could opt in for another year. Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater have value and should be tendered contracts. So where's the room for improvement? Trades would seemingly be very much on the table. What about the future of the shortstop position? It seemed like a changing of the guard when Brandon Crawford departed in the ninth inning against the Dodgers, and as he entered the dugout, he gave a hug to the young Marco Luciano, who ran out onto the field to replace him. Zaidi said that, at least initially, the plan is for Luciano to be the SF Giants' everyday shortstop in 2024. He also mentioned Tyler Fitzgerald as perhaps the best defensive center fielder in the organization and that could play into their outfield plans next year as well.

No fan of the San Francisco Giants wants to be in offseason mode on September 28. But that is, sadly, the state of the Giants right now as they were eliminated from playoff contention two days ago. And so look forward we must, and it begins by taking inventory of which SF Giants players are reaching free agency. Among the headliners: Joc Pederson, Brandon Crawford, and Alex Wood. Next are the guaranteed commitments for the Giants. Michael Conforto ($18M) and Sean Manaea ($12.5M) are possible opt outs, whereas Ross Stripling has already stated he will opt in. Mitch Haniger and Anthony DeSclafani are a couple of other SF Giants who will be back on guaranteed deals. Some good guaranteed deals include those to Wilmer Flores and Logan Webb. Finally, the Giants' arbitration-eligible players. This list includes J.D. Davis, Austin Slater, Mike Yastrzemski, LaMonte Wade Jr., Tyler Rogers, and Thairo Estrada. All six seem like pretty easy tender decisions, because the contracts will be cheap relative to free agent prices for similar production. Estrada stands out as a possible extension candidate for the Giants. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Welp, that's it. The Giants are all but mathematically eliminated from postseason contention after losing 3 of 4 in Colorado, both games in Arizona and the first game in LA. They are also under .500 with 9 games remaining against the Dodgers and Padres and have a very good chance at finishing the season with more losses than wins, something that seemed unlikely when they were 13 games above .500 and 2.5 games back of the Dodgers in July. This has been one of the biggest second half collapses by the Giants that we can remember. It was fueled by poor hitting, mediocre pitching, no speed, and poor defense. For some odd reason, it also manifested itself on the road, where the Giants have won only 5 of their last 31 games, their worst stretch since 1902. Yeah, that's historic. We talk about what went wrong, and how the Giants really had to TRY to not get into the postseason. Think about it. Even going 10-21 in those road games would have them in a spot right now. Heck 13-18 would have put them 5 games in the lead along with Philly right now. It's just incredible how this team has imploded. Even the national perspective has shunned the style of Giants ball (see Tom Verducci's article in SI.com). Also, Brandon Craword goes back on the IL for the fourth time, and is eligible to come off and play on October 1, their last game of the season. Let's all go to Oracle and send him off in a positive way, should this be the end of his Giants' career. Man, what this season could have been.www.torturecast.com@torturecast

The San Francisco Giants' playoff hopes are almost certainly over. So it's not at all surprising that today, the SF Giants announced a flurry of future-oriented moves. The Giants recalled Marco Luciano and Tristan Beck from Triple-A. They selected the contract of Tyler Fitzgerald and added him to the MLB roster. Sean Hjelle was optioned. Brandon Crawford was placed on the IL with a right hamstring strain, and Paul DeJong was placed on unconditional release waivers. Hopefully the Giants give long looks to Luciano in particular, but also Fitzgerald. And give Tristan Beck, along with Kyle Harrison, chances to start games. SF Giants fans are sick and tired of the timid approach the Giants have taken with some of their young players. Watching them get jerked around back and forth between Triple-A and the Majors. Watching them get 12 plate appearances and then get sent down. Seeing them get pinch-hit for in the MLB debut when everyone in the ballpark wanted to see that player hit. It's time for all of that to stop. Brandon Crawford may have played his last game as a Giant. He's eligible to come off the IL on the last day of the season, however, so even if he's injured he should be activated and get to walk off the field for perhaps the final time. The SF Giants failed miserably by not giving a proper sendoff to Brandon Belt in what clearly could've been (and ended up being) his last game as a Giant. Lastly, Tom Verducci's article in which he calls the SF Giants baseball's "most boring contender" is discussed. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants' 2023 season has been a wild roller coaster ride. The Giants struggled at first, then became red hot, then became ice cold, and now, in the last six days, they've been hot again. With 16 SF Giants games remaining in the regular season, fans have questions: Daniel: Taking a more balanced question here, a rose and a thorn. What is your rose for the season, something positive to take away no matter what happens, and a negative thorn, again no matter what happens (even if the Giants go on to make a deep playoff run somehow)? DP: Who is worthy of keeping on the offense for next year? LaMonte Wade Jr., J.D. Davis, Austin Slater, and Mike Yastrzemski (injuries) had very good first halves but have disappeared in the last few months. Joc Pederson and Brandon Crawford can't come back. Juan: Kind of far away but how many guys do you see getting non tendered at the end of the year? Yaz? JD? Vinnie: You are now King. What three moves would you make to make the SF Giants more competitive in 2024? Kyle: Where is the on-field leadership? Brian: Why does ownership love Farhan Zaidi and Kapler Gabe Kapler, and this uninspired and boring brand of baseball that the majority of the fans can't stand?

The San Francisco Giants' never-give-up attitude, echoing their 2021 107-win team's slogan, was on full display during their recent must-win games. Even after a hiccup from Brandon Crawford led to two runs, the Giants charged back immediately, and ultimately achieved victory with Blake Sabol and LaMonte Wade Jr. shining as the 10th-inning heroes. The playoff race remains tense: had the Giants won and Arizona lost, they'd be just 0.5 games behind. But with Arizona's clutch triumph, the Giants' victory was crucial to stay only 1.5 games back, with a tense 18 games left. Meanwhile, drama ensues off the field. Alex Cobb's gritty performance, despite battling a left hip impingement, was commendable. Concurrently, Ross Stripling's allegations about being placed on the "phantom IL" stirs controversy, casting doubts over his future with the Giants. As the saga unfolds, Sean Manaea's return to the starting rotation tonight after a long hiatus since May 10 adds another layer of excitement.

The San Francisco Giants' 2023 season has largely been defined by an influx of young talent. Not all SF Giants rookies have performed all that well, so it can take some time to sort through which ones likely have staying power and which ones may not. Among the Giants' rookies to debut this year, Patrick Bailey has already established himself as one of the game's best catchers. Kyle Harrison just made his major league debut, and his stuff was so impressive that it's easy to see him anchoring the rotation for years to come. Ryan Walker has been really good out of the 'pen. Other Giants rookies like Luis Matos and Casey Schmitt have had more struggles, but it's still easy to believe in their futures (though Schmitt has a lot to work on at the plate). Wade Meckler is also in the conversation of SF Giants rookies with a good chance of being mainstays. Should the Giants extend Paul DeJong? Brandon Crawford is a free agent after the season and frankly has been bad this year, especially offensively. DeJong is 6.5 years younger, a strong defender at short, and a competent bat capable of hitting 15-20 homers a season. He absolutely makes sense as an extension candidate (probably no more than one year, however). Will the SF Giants make the playoffs this year? If so, how deep of a run could they make with this pitching staff? Which are the best Giants uniforms? How does Shohei Ohtani's injury affect the odds of the SF Giants pursuing him in the offseason? Will Alex Cobb's $10M option be picked up for next year. All that and more on this mailbag edition of Locked On Giants! Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Paul DeJong's huge debut leads SF Giants to dramatic win over Phillies in a game with playoff vibes

Everybody exhale. The San Francisco Giants sure don't make things easy on themselves or their fans, and yesterday was certainly no exception. The Giants looked to be cruising their way to a nice getaway day win over the Phillies—until Giants closer Camilo Doval melted down for the second straight night. Walk, walk, homer and suddenly a 5-2 lead was erased before an out had been recorded. But the SF Giants held the line after that and fought hard to put up three runs in the 10th and held on for what was arguably their biggest win of the season. Paul DeJong sure knows how to make a good first impression. He hit a booming home run early in the game. He made a sterling defensive play later on. His two-run single against Craig Kimbrel in the 10th may have been the biggest hit of the entire game, and it came in an 0-2 count. DeJong wasn't a perfect fit for the Giants when Brandon Crawford was healthy, but with Crawford on the shelf and continuing to play poorly when he's on the field, DeJong is the right player at the right time for the SF Giants. It somehow gives this Locked On Giants host Cody Ross vibes, and the parallels are eerily similar. Austin Slater and Wade Meckler had major redemption games. Many fans have been clamoring for the Giants to make a move with Slater, who's been in a horrible slump for about a month. And fans were also upset when Heliot Ramos, not Meckler, was optioned the other day. But Giants manager has continued to show faith in both, and that faith was rewarded in the win. Slater added a huge insurance run with a bloop pinch-hit single and he made a game-saving catch at the wall in the ninth. Meckler had two hits, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, made an impact on the bases, and also made a game-saving catch in the ninth. When will we ever collectively learn that small samples in baseball (and yes, even a month is a very small sample) aren't to be taken too seriously?

SF Giants sign Paul DeJong to MLB contract as Kyle Harrison is set for MLB debut

Paul DeJong, you are the San Francisco Giants' starting shortstop. In perhaps the most logical and obvious move the Giants have made in years, the SF Giants have signed DeJong to a major league contract after he was recently DFA'd by the Blue Jays. The Jays traded for DeJong mere weeks ago, but he struggled so badly that they let him go. After clearing waivers, the Giants were able to sign DeJong for just a prorated portion of the MLB minimum salary (around $180,000). It's a very worthwhile investment since Brandon Crawford is on the IL and DeJong is a plus defender at short with a track record of being a decent hitter with power. He is, at the very least, a major-league caliber player. He also has club options for the next two seasons. DeJong is a significant story, but nothing trumps the fact that Kyle Harrison will make his MLB debut today. Harrison struggles with command at times, and a debut on the road in front of hostile fans could be a recipe for nerves and poor command. But if he's pumping strikes, Harrison has a chance to be special. Even if he struggles today, don't worry too much. The kid has a sky-high ceiling and could help get the SF Giants into October and perhaps play well in the playoffs. The less said about yesterday's ugly loss the better. The Giants had Aaron Nola on the ropes in the first inning, but Johan Camargo hit into a double play with the bases loaded. It was pretty much all downhill from there. The SF Giants' defense was atrocious, with Wade Meckler making a couple of really bad plays. But let's not be too rough on a young player with just a handful of days in the big leagues. Growing pains are to be expected. But the Giants need to start winning some games, as their playoff position and odds are slipping after an extended period of poor play. Hopefully the turnaround stars tonight with Harrison on the bump and DeJong at short. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Kyle Harrison, you are a San Francisco Giant. Giants fans have waited a long time for this, but the wait is finally over. Harrison, who is considered to be among the best pitching prospects in all of baseball, and the top left-handed pitching prospect, will make his major league debut tomorrow for the SF Giants. And yes, he is going to start the game (as opposed to coming in after an opener). At least that's what the SF Giants are saying. Harrison's arrival is a big deal for a Giants team in need of more stability in their rotation. He could help lead the Giants to the postseason, and he could be a huge weapon in October if the SF Giants get there. In other news, the Giants did what they had to do in Atlanta: avoid a sweep. Normally, losing two out of three is a bad outcome. But on the road against the best team in baseball, one win is acceptable. The SF Giants very nearly won two games against the Braves, however. Tyler Rogers served up a two out single and go-ahead homer in the eighth, and that was all she wrote in Game 2. Thankfully, the Giants continued to rack up lots of hits and came through with a gutsy win in the finale. The win did wonders for their playoff odds. In other news, Brandon Crawford was placed on the IL with a left forearm strain. Johan Camargo appears to be in line to take most of his at-bats. It's been a miserable offensive year for Crawford, who could be playing his last season with his hometown Giants. Luis Matos and Casey Schmitt were recalled from Triple-A, and it was great to see Matos impact the ball a couple of times (he hit a homer and a rocket single).
