Giants' GM Brian Sabean seems resigned to trading a young starter to acquire an impact hitter because of a lackluster free-agent market. He has identified a half-dozen teams with a surplus of hitters that might need pitching. The two Florida teams come to mind, and the Devil Rays' Carl Crawford and Marlins' Miguel Cabrera would be attractive targets. "The price of getting an established, up-and-coming position player is usually starting pitching-plus," Sabean said. "There obviously are going to be guys who we're absolutely not going to move." When asked if he meant Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum, he said, "I would think so." This would therefore leave Noah Lowry as the potential candidate to be dealt. |
