They Were Irrelevant… Then Free Agency Happened

Thanks for watching! The Giants were once irrelevant, missing the playoffs. But they have since then turned into a contender, within one free agency.

I love your channel but this video is a miss and kinda misleading. Posey's comments were blown way out of proportion and were later clarified. He was talking about the perception of San Francisco, not the reality. Posey himself actually moved BACK to San Francisco with his family after retiring to Georgia. Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Kansas City, Atlanta, and several other MLB cities have much higher crimes rates than San Francisco. The notion that guys don't want to play in SF because of the "high crime" or "safety" is laughable. The Golden State Warriors play right down the street from the Giants and they have zero problem signing mega-stars.

Yeah but when you decriminalize drug use and petty crimes then crime will go down. The numbers will at least. It doesn’t mean they aren’t doing it. Prop 47 basically made shoplifting “legal” and now cops are a not allowed to interact with drug user even if they are doing it out in the open.

This whole San Francisco having a bad reception thing is just a dumb excuse by the ownership and front office. The Warriors have had no issue having success and bringing in star talent, neither have the 49ers. What matters most is having an attractive product on the field, and the Warriors have that, the 49ers have that, but the Giants don’t, and haven’t for a long time.

[@Scotter4536]

It's not really an excuse that they made up. A lot of people have a bad perception of the city due to sensationalized headlines. That and opposing teams stay at hotels in the tenderloin when playing at Oracle Park, so they get to see the literal worst part of the city. As for the Niners, they don't play anywhere near the peninsula and the Warriors haven't had a big free agent in how long? I don't think it's a deserved reputation. I mean, look at LA. They have just as many problems with crime and homelessness. SF just gets highlighted by conservatives cause it's considered one of the most liberal cities in the country. They love to see it fail. And the Warriors do not have an attractive product this season.

And, like you said, I think conservatives just want to see San Francisco (& California writ large) crash & burn.

I like the breakdown, but I would argue they’ve never been big into FA signings. Their WS runs were built off their farm system. Posey, Timmy, MadBum, Panda, Belt, Crawford, Panik, and Cain were home grown prospects. The outside help all came from trades, Pence, Pagan, Freddy Sanchez, Lopez. The FA help were bargain bin standouts, Vogelsong, and Affeldt, or huge busts, Zito (statistical bust, but 2012 was magical), and Aaron Rowan. The issue with recent FA failures is the front office giving us so much hope on Judge, Harper, Yamamoto, Shoei, and Correa (although I give a pass here due to 2 failed physicals). I’m glad they were able to get Soler, and Chapman this spring, and I would say this was a very good offseason. I am hopeful for the season!

Giants fan here. This is maximum cope. The lineup scares no one. SP are all questions marks aside from Webb. We just watch the dodgers front office make Farquad look like an idiot. Oh and they keep saying they want to spend, but no one buys it. Soler will have a drop off because of the park, Chapman is Longoria 2.0, except at least we can dump him when he bats mendoza line, or he will bolt for a real team when he has a career season like Gausmann. It's obvious they are taking short term projects to pocket money over trying to bring in talent to build around. Granted hopefully the young guns can develop and create a new 2010's center, but last year wasn't as promising as we hoped. this will be a mid year battling for 3rd in the division. And expect more "smoke" of going after Soto and all the big free agents as usual. Do not support them until they actually want to field a competent team, and not a band of broken toys and projects. It isn't acceptable that fans have to hope for flukes like Panda.... Panda to help the team. Rediculous.

[@PurelyBaseballYT]

Judge and Correa, were more so used to highlight the talent they almost had playing for them. That bit specifically wasn’t really to highlight two guys who didn’t wanna go to San Francisco. It was more so saying, these two players were almost in Giant uniforms, but it didn’t happen, and the Giants went on to be mid. My opinion on the city whether I think its amazing, or terrible, truly dosen’t matter in this type of content. I try to be as non bias as possible (when discussing matters like that).

[@1TightMinute]

So just count the good months and ignore the bad? How about we only look at a pitchers good starts and throw out the 6 or 7 where he got shelled?

[@masterbaiters1183]

@@1TightMinute the statement I’m proving is the first sentence (there’s no overarching point about OPS+ being a bad stat or Chapman being a bad hitter)… I’m pointing out that OPS+ doesn’t tell the full story and context is needed to truly analyze a player With Chapman, OPS+ tells us that he’s an above average hitter overall but his monthly splits shows that he’s an incredibly inconsistent hitter (or at least has been for that past 3 seasons) who’s more than capable of playing at an MVP level for stretches but also has months where he hits below the Mendoza line… What sounds like a better Chapman analysis? And pitchers should be looked at the same way… I’m not just looking at the bad since I’m not making a point on the player or criticizing the stat; I’m providing context since it gives us a better view on the player And while I don’t hold the opinion since I wanted the Jays to resign Chapman, Ive talked to a ton of Jays fans who thought he was a liability at the plate which stems from his inconsistency… He was solidified in the 4 or 5 spot but was awful in that spot for more than half the year… OPS+ alone doesn’t account for that

I have turned down jobs in SF simply bc of crime and drug use that is not regulated in the city.

[@jc1938q]

lol San Francisco doesn’t even rank on a blip of the radar in terms of crime and drug use lol please stay away if this is your take

[@tbd1613]

Giants still suck. Will finish last in division. Nobody wants to play in crime ridden SF.

That’s all crap. The internet was saying the same thing about LA and that was supposedly the reason that ohtani was choosing Toronto over the dodgers and look how that turned out. Truth is the giants front office isn’t doing their job.

Lmao free agency happened? Why cause they signed chapman? They aint goin anywhere

[@PurelyBaseballYT]

Because they signed Lee, Hicks, Chapman, Soler. Lmao lets not act like thats a bad offseason 😂

[@Cwe-35]

Dodgers division got stronger y’all in trouble 😂

[@isaiah8998]

Giants signed good players and possibly could add snell

[@PopMofo1997]

Jays fan for 30+ years and let me assure you, Chappy (though a gold glover) will give you nothing at the dish when it matters😢

[@ggallintedtalk]
