I don't know the numbers of the Giants one & two compared to the other teams one & two, but I'd say Wade and Estrada got to be top five.

Wade and Estrada are pretty solid though. And I think there’s proof in concept, when those two are both in there they win at a good clip

10:02

It’s hard to argue with Acuna and Olson atop the Braves order, that’s really good. Tampa Bay has several guys that are great at the top of a lineup

Tommy broke down physically or he would've been a plus,IMO

The Tommy LaStella signing was a big whiff, but it was $18 mil over 3 seasons and at the time, the signing made sense. Because a healthy LaStella would’ve helped the 2021 and 2022 clubs (he had moments in 21)

So Frank, how do you rank Wade and Estrada batting one & two with the other one & two tandems in MLB?

10:00

But, I do believe Rodon had little interest in staying with the Giants.

100%. Not signing Gausman is one of the few big whiffs

To me Zaidi's biggest mistake was not resigning Gausman. Kevin sure would look good right now in the Giants rotation. Zaidi made a good move by not resigning Rodon, and passing on Correa.

What I mean by that is the idea of not trading Rodon is not a known miss. We don’t know what the offers were. I’m not trading him for two #20-30 ranked prospects when I can keep him, get the pick if he leaves, draft one guy that’ll be a 20-30 ranked prospect and show the rest of the 26-man I’m in this to win.

9:57

You know his record is pretty good when you line up the known hits and misses

Hello Frank. Been having a lively discussion with Channel about Zaidi. I'm still agnostic on him, but I've got to give him props to for a lot of moves he's made that are paying good dividends right now.

I don’t want the version that signed Michael Tucker to save money on the next years first round pick

9:49

Ha! You know I’d take Sabean, but only circa 2007-2014

Brian Sabean

Okay, 162 game season who do you want as your GM, me or Farhan Zaidi?

Who loves ya baby?
