There's definitely something weird about Sandoval. Supposedly the day before voting ended, Wright was up by 500,000 votes. And he loses by 1.6 MILLION?

Ok, there's no way this was accomplished legitimately. I'm hopping aboard the Conspiracy Train with vas.

That explains why that thug Cueto was left off but Greinke is just misunderstood.

To be fair, the average casual fan probably votes for laundry rather than statistics. The recent sweep of LA and subsequent rise to 1st place probably generated a lot of buzz around the team and got a bunch of them to vote for Giants in droves.

Yeah, it would be different if he was at least CLOSE to Wright. This is appalling. I hope the fans in KC have the decency to boo him viciously.

So basically Giants were giving out free hash with every vote of a Giants players.

Olney reporting the Phillies want a package of at least 4 prospects in exchange for Hamels.

Sports-GAF, how much do HD channels like Fox Midwest cost?
What did he do?

Kept Gio out too long, by about 3 batters. I ain't complaining though.
I understand trying to save the bullpen, but the radio guys were calling for him to be out after the leadoff walk... so yeah, a questionable call at best.

Marlins desperately trying to hold onto a 3-2 lead vs. Philly in Miami.

Most I would give up is probably Nova and one of the B's, guy is going want a huge contract in the offseason, Philles are on the ropes here trying to get something for him.
What B? Betances has been terrible this year and Baunelos is on the dl. To get Hamels you would definitely have to give up one of Mason Williams and Gary Sanchez.

Willams is probably going to a future OF star in a couple of years, and Sanchez should be untouchable since he is the future catcher maybe even two years from now. The Yanks are going to have to pay Hamels over 100 mil, no reason to blow needed prospects for him.

LOL. Worst FA signing in Phillies history.
I see Williams being like Austin Jackson except he doesn't strike out nearly as much and Sanchez's defense hasn't exactly received glowing reports, but he does have a better chance to stick at catcher than Montero ever did.
I guess it depends if you trust Nova and Hughes in the playoffs since a top three of CC, Kuroda, and Pettite is pretty good.
Eh. Could do worse. He's a warm body to throw around when our pitching staff/pen gets murdered even further this season.

Here's what gets me... How the Hell did Buster Posey, who trailed Joey Votto by nearly 1.2 million votes on Jun 27th, end up as the top vote getter overall on July 1st?
That's suspicious. It's not like he was a runaway winner over Yadier Molina, who was barely trailing him. You know how many people in 4 days would have to vote for Buster Posey and NOT vote for Joey Votto for 1st base? Or Matt Kemp for one of the THREE outfield spots?

All us SF'ers finally put down the pot and voted because our dealers forced us to.

Time to send Venters to AAA. He fucking blows ass this season.
Peripherals are still very good, I'd trade for him.

I guess peripherals don't factor in how many times he's gotten ahead 0-2 and becomes completely afraid of throwing anything close to a strike in the rest of the at-bat. He did it agan with Harper today. Got ahead 0-2 and then threw 4 straight balls that weren't even close.
No no. He's getting swapped with Bourjos this winter.
You'll get Lannan and you'll be happy
not really we'll probably get AA filler for him if we get anything
