Giant Complaints
John Perricone lists how he'd like to see the Giants develop the team.
The Giants would be better off just running the Triple AAA team out there with these pitchers, and see what happens. Again, young players at least have upside. Barring the use of illegal PED's, old players have little more than the hope that they neither decline nor fall to injury.
I agree.
And just who is going to show up to watch this AAA team? The allstar game might be enough to keep the 27K season ticket holders but who is going to buy the other 14K tickets? After doing this for a year just how many fo the 27K season ticket holders do you think would renew for 2008?
The Giants business model just can't afford to take steps back like the Marlins business model has and does.
14K want to come out and see Rich Aurilia, Ray Durham, Omar Vizquel, Pedro Feliz, Benjie Molina, Randy Winn, Dave Roberts and Bonds?
Sorry, I don't see the marquee value in that line-up.
Bonds, yes.
Vizquel, yes.
The rest?

Thanks for the publicity, my good friend.
