Imagine: You Are Brian Sabean
Imagine you wake up in Egyptian cotton sheets, tigers are frolicking in your living room and you have a TV the size of the Coke bottle at AT&T Park.
You are Brian Sabean — but for one day only.
And in that day you have access to everything Sabes does and you can talk to whoever you want.
Here’s the deal, with the trade deadline coming up you have one day to get a trade done, you’re job pretty much depends on it..
What realistic trade would you pull off?
You only get one trade and don’t make it something absurd like Aaron Rowand for a candy bar — because candy bars are actually good.
I will send in the BEST ANSWER to Hank Schulman — we are good friends now so he’ll give me a detailed answer as to which it’d work or not. GOOD LUCK!
the gamer and joe martinez for zambrano… we would have to eat like half of gamers contract. can put zambrano in the roation and trade sanchie away for a bat..

Here is probably the most realistic trade that will be pulled off at the deadline.
Giants Aquire Jorge Cantu from the Marlins in excheange for Ryan Rohlinger/Matt Downs and bullpen arm kind of guy like a Osiris Matos or Waldis Joaquin,.
It’s not pretty or splashy but it could happen.
Before the injury I would have been pushing for David DeJesus but now the price would have to be practically free for me to want the team to take on the risk. It would be like Freddy Sanchez 2.0, you don’t want a Right Fielder with a bad thumb.

@beachedbum18 says Freddy Sanchez, Todd Wellemeyer, and Aaron Rowand for Prince Fielder and a minor league outfielder.
@noonchyo says Rowand & J Sanchez for P. Fielder or C. Hart
I like Jimmys but Rowand’s trade value is lower than six-feet under.
Crabs is probably right, we won’t be doing anything crazy..

Rowand for Ryan Howard
Pablo for Evan Longoria
Renteria for Pujols

I dont think the giants will do any major deals. With that said I was curious to take the temperature of some Giants fans on sighning Dontrelle Willis. I read that they are working on fixing his unorthodox mechanics and are thinking about bringing him up down the stretch for middle relief. He has experience pitching in relief and doing so in the playoffs no less. If he can channel his control problems, the bay area native could turn into a nice story for the Giants down the stretch.

Smith great point.. I am very very interested in seeing if Dontrelle has anything left.. It’s hard to have any faith and to just put him on the back-burner as a random shot of hope, but again can’t really hurt us much
