Randy Winn drives in Emmanuel Burriss with a single to get the Giants on the board first video.aol.com

By E.L.M. But Baggs isn't making an argument for Carpenter's slight edge of sublimity. He's saying it's Lincecum's fault the Giants didn't win more of his starts, as if somehow he could have willed Aaron Rowand not to suck in the second half. Or Randy Winn to hit more than the occasional single. Or Ryan G...

By yoursfgiants In a large room a few doors down from the Giants clubhouse, Randy Winn, F.P. Santangelo and J.T. Snow sit behind a table on a riser, facing two dozen or so fresh-faced, athletic young men, some just out of high school. These are the Giants' top draft picks, gathered this week at AT&T Park for a w...

By E.L.M. On to today's news: Baggs reports that Randy Winn's services are no longer needed in the House of Mays. It's no surprise, but let's pause to officially acknowledge that Randy Winn was a good Giant. He was not a good Giant hitter in 2009 or 2006, when he hobbled around much of the year after fouli...

By Andrew Baggarly Outfielder Randy Winn filed for free agency and he isn’t expected to re-sign with the Giants, his agent told me today. The Giants contacted agent Craig Landis prior to the World Series and thanked Winn for his services, but said they have a number of young outfielders and advised him to seek...

By obsessivegiantscompulsive(noreply@blogger.com) Giants Thoughts First off, thank you to Randy Winn for his many years of service to the Giants. Good luck in your future endeavors and hopefully you can make the playoffs with another team, though, of course, should you face the Giants in the playoffs, I hope you don't do so well.

By Grant Tattoo #1: Start Randy Winn. He hit home runs in 2005. Polaroid #1: Buster Posey. (other side) Don't believe his lies. Forget Matt Holliday. He'll go absolutely nuts for the team that acquires him, hitting like a latter-day Frank Robinson, but then he'll try to catch a ball with his crotch in the...

By Andrew Baggarly Randy Winn is heating up – and from both sides of the plate, too. After a very good series from the right side in Pittsburgh, Winn hit a couple of well-struck fouls in addition to his two ringing hits off Braves right-hander Tommy Hanson. I’ve got to think there’s a good chance Bruce Bochy will l...

By Paulie(p_rice41@hotmail.com) Speaking of defense, when the Giants trot out an outfield of Randy Winn, Nate Schierholtz, and Andres Torres, that's one of the best outfield defenses you'll see these days. That's very important, because if you go here, you'll see that the Giants have a staff full of extreme fly ball pitch...

By Andrew Nuschler Randy Winn, Freddie Lewis, and Bengie Molina continue to swing a nice stick although only Randy and Fab Five Freddie emerged from Saint Diego with anything to show for it.  Emanuel Burriss got his first knocks of the year, but Aaron Rowand and Pablo Sandoval rocked a combined 2-19 (Rowand d...

Outfielders (6): CF Aaron Rowand, RF Randy Winn, LF Fred Lewis, Nate Schierholtz, Andres Torres, Eugenio Velez. Giants Thoughts

By obsessivegiantscompulsive(noreply@blogger.com) Randy Winn According to one of the leading researchers on defensive metrics, the Giants outfield is above average, or good:  Lewis "has above-average talent for a left fielder" and his defensive stats put him among the leaders, in the Top 10.   Not great but clearly above average, but with...

By Giantfan9(noreply@blogger.com) The Giants again had not enough offense until it was too late. The regulars are still mostly in a slump with Randy Winn (.043), Edgar Renteria (.263), Bengie Molina (.238) and Aaron Rowand going a combined 2 for 10 on the day. Even starters Pablo Sandoval and Kevin Frandsen, who have been hitting...

By Trevor(noreply@blogger.com) Speaking of young Giants, Bruce Bochy has actually stuck by his plan on playing the youngsters more over the last 2 months of the season. We are still getting the daily dose of Randy Winn and Rich Aurilia, but Emmanuel Burris and Ivan Ochoa are being given a long look in the middle of the infiel...

By Grant So let's all be thankful for Anyone but Randy Winn in Center. There's only $54M left to go, so let's not bicker over which player's second-half decline most closely resembles the end of Jose Cruz, Jr.'s Giants career, or which 36-year-old player never should have been signed as a center fiel...

By Grant Randy Winn, on the other hand, is blocking Nate Schierholtz. Winn’s horrible slump has left him at .276/.341/.385. Schierholtz’s MLE suggests his current minor league numbers would translate to .273/.306/.472. The Giants would likely take a hit on defense and on-base gettin’, but Schierholtz...

By Paulie So what do the Giants do? They decide that they need to "get speedier" and sign Dave Roberts to a three year deal, despite the fact that they already have an overpaid, mediocre center fielder whose contract they're kicking themselves over in Randy Winn. Not surprisingly, Roberts has a mise...

By Trevor For the second consecutive spring, the Giants held a charity event called "Giants ... As many remember last year, Barry Bonds dressed up as Paula Abdul and served ... Randy Winn and Rich Aurilia where the other judges and Omar Vizquel ...

By Trevor Sometime before the end of the weekend, the Giants are expected to announce ... The signing of Roberts will move Randy Winn to right field, ... Sabean still wants to keep his options open before really facing the Barry Bonds question. ...

By John Ryder Easily the most exciting game of the season, as the Giants staged a miracle comeback against the Padres to keep their meager playoff hopes alive. Down by a run in the ninth, with two out and one man on, Randy Winn smashed a triple off of San Diego's great closer Trevor Hoffman to tie it, and J.T. Sn...
