Current Off Season on the Giants/Dodgers AND Why is Jeff Kent Not in the Hall of Fame?

Make that..not 1, not 2, not 3 Giant Acquisitions


The Giants are making an extra push for the postseason and to win it all again this season.  Not only have they solidified 3/4 of their starting rotation and signed a talented free agent outfielder, but they have made these moves without giving up any prospects or trading away sought-after infielders  in Duffy, Crawford, Panik, and Belt.


Penciling in a #2 (Cueto) and #3 (Samardzija) starter behind Madison Bumgarner, filling an outfield void (Denard Span) whose offensive and defensive game fits perfectly at AT&T Park, and having about 10 Million left under the luxury tax.

Win, win, win.


A Dodger Off Season to Forget so far..

With the addition of Scott Kazmir, Dodger blue is looking at a 5 lefty starting rotation (which is just plain laughable),
..Especially with a division filled with right handed sluggers (Posey, Pence, Goldsmith).

Losing out on Adonis Chapman via trade

Losing Zach Greinke to free agency and having to face him within the division

Adrian Gonzalez is the only real threat in that lineup.

This team better do something or they'll be watching the postseason on TV this October.


Jeff Kent's Hall of Fame Chances

It's a bit of a shame that Jeff Kent is not gathering enough votes for the Hall of Fame.

Some key thoughts here:

First, he was an offensive powerhouse with no affiliations to PEDs and a 4 time All Star.

Second, has the most home runs among all second basemen with 351 while playing the position.

Third, Kent is an all time leader among all second basemen with 1,389 RBIs.


Voters may penalize Kent for his defense.  But from watching him play, I didn't see his defense hurting his team on a daily basis.

Would you vote for Kent?
