Giants Hot Stove Report #3

So the Winter Meetings have come and gone and what have the Giants achieved this year since? A lot! They addressed major needs in the bullpen to support their young pitching staff and added an offensive bat with Edgar Renteria to fill in at short. Sabean has already pulled off an amazing offseason by addressing [...]

Sorry for the extended vacation; I guess you don’t actually realize how long you’ve been away from blogging until you see how much your peers have blogged. Onto some updates!
Thank you to Mario from Wax Heaven for sending a ton of Lincecum cards over. We hashed out a last minute Christmas deal for the Chirography [...]

Remember a couple posts back, I talked about the 2007 Bowman Chrome autograph card and how it was the centerpiece of my collection? Remember how I said it could easily be replaced if I found a card that was one step up in terms of parallel-ness? I found this on eBay today, and from the [...]

The Giants were kind enough to send this e-mail out to everyone on their mailing list today:

Happy Holidays!

I received two packages in the mail today, one from Ross over at Box Busters, and the other from Steve over at White Sox Cards. They were both cards from contests from a week or two ago. They both left me with some sweet Giants cards. This brings me to a problem I was thinking [...]

This topic is an easy one as my favorite card in my collection is this one:

This is a 2007 Bowman Chrome Refractor numbered out of 500 card. It’s the first card that I got to start the Tim Lincecum collection and also the one that got me back into the  hobby. It began by me [...]

I received two HUGE packages today in the mail: one from Mario at Wax Heaven and the other, a monstrous box of Giants and various other cards from Jeff over at I am Joe Collector. Jeff was giving away tons and tons of cards for his “First Person Gets ‘em Giveaway.” Looking at the amount [...]

A real quick mailday shoutout to Dan over at Saints of the Cheap Seats, who sent over a 2007 Bowman Chrome Lincecum base card. I’ve been looking for this card for a while now so I’m very happy that I have it now. I really like this card because I still view this as his [...]

I can’t believe I finished my first card set already! I thought it would take forever, but the time went by really fast and it was also very fun along the way. I received the last four cards that completes my 2008 Allen & Ginter set from PunkRockPaint. He is a fellow card collector and [...]

The Giants have made a big splash into the free agency market this winter with three signings already. They have shored up their bullpen with Jeremy Affeldt and yesterday’s signing of Bobby Howry from the Cubs. They do not lose a draft pick because the Cubs declined salary arbitration to Howry. I initially did not [...]

This just in from Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports: The Giants are close to signing Renteria but are also discussing trading Jonathon Sanchez for Jorge Cantu with the Florida Marlins. Man would that piss off Mario over at Wax Heaven even more or what? MLBtraderumors.com thinks that’s a steal for the Marlins because they got [...]

The offseason doesn’t necessarily mean the end of baseball news. In many ways, it actually gets more exciting because of all the rumors flying left and right. First of all, let’s go over what the Giants’ goals are for the offseason. Coming off another losing season, the Giants are at least on the right track [...]

I’m back! I hope everyone enjoyed the nice Thanksgiving break, but it’s time to get back to writing real entries rather than posting crazy “Make a Caption for Timmy” entries. As I’ve mentioned before, I have pretty much stopped looking on eBay for any Lincecum cards lately because of the surge in prices since his [...]
