Giants in market for first baseman
Giants general manager Brian Sabean acknowledged on his weekly radio show that he is looking for a first baseman, preferably a left-handed hitter. The Giants have had internal discussions about Washington's Nick Johnson, but he might be off the market after winning the everyday first-base job and starting the season strongly. A source said the Giants scouted 26-year-old Braves first baseman Scott Thorman, who hit 11 home runs in 287 at-bats last season. In spring training, the A's tried in vain to get the Giants to bite on Dan Johnson.

The Braves would be stupid to move Thorman with the uncertainty of where Texeria will be playing next season

The Giants are screwed w/ or w/o some first baseman. When your best hitter is Omar Vizquel and he isnt even in the lineup right now, last place has your name on it.

Hell, the Mets need a 1B. I've been clamoring for them to figure out a way to send Delgado back to the AL where he can DH and picking up Nick Johnson.

The Giants dont need a new first baseman ( ortmeier is servicible there) they need to get rid of the grey hairs on the team and commit to the youth movement, sure they will stink it up this year, but at least there will be something to look forward to, how many years do the plan on rebuilding?

What are the Giants going to do with a new first baseman? Finish 30 games out of first instead of 35?

Barry Zito caught some boos during the home opener introductions.
Funny, my damned fellow Giants fans would NEVER boo the juicing king, but they sure jump on an overpaid arm.

How about saying to the A's "We'll take Johnson off your hands if you take Zito back"?
I like Barry Zito but he belongs in th AL where his curve ball will work better.

seattle fan here:
we've got a 1b that had great success in the NL, but little in the AL:
Richie Sexson
You've got a SP that had great success in the AL, but sucks bad in the NL - who you now owe 9 figures.
Barry Zito.
to take that potentially debilitating contract on (zito's), we need to have
Tim Lincecum. simple as that.
however, we can spare 99mph pitcher, CA boy and future allstar
Brandon Morrow.
and also
Jarrod Washburn.
this could work. tell your local GM.
