Can’t believe Polar Bear isn’t a Giant already… we can be excited by Bryce, but it’s never a sure thing, will take some time probably, and once he really is ready, Pete can move to DH.
Eldridge is a massive question mark. He might not be MLB material yet (I hope he is). The whole blocking Eldridge excuse is garbage. If I can get ~40 HR a year out of Alonso? Let Eldridge force himself into the line-up.
Polar Bear would draw some excitement for this club. You called this last year Krueg to get the Polar Bear! Who cares if giants only get a few years worth their investment!!!
Great video Larry. I wish this video could blow up. I don’t know why reporters are not ripping this front office for not wanting to spend. They deserve to not have half that ball park filled if they decide to not spend anymore this off season. See you in 5th place.
Alonso, without a doubt upgrades the Giants lineup and on-field product dramatically. Vaughn? 😂 May as well just play Wade. At least Wade is a LH batter.
Good points. Even with a less than stellar glove at 1B - which really is NOT big deal because its 1B and not 2B, 3B, or SS - Alonso is the scare bat the Giants need. Just one Pete Alonso makes the Giants lineup look dramatically different. Without that one big bat in the lineup, it's very difficult to see the Giants competing for a WC slot. 100% agree on polar bear hats. Oracle Park would be full of them in a matter of weeks.
@@SFGiantsfan9797 Are you high? Do the Giants have Tatis? Or a Jackson Merrill? NO. They arent CLOSE to the padres. What in gods name makes you think Alonso makes them BETTER than San Diego? A .220 hitter w/ 35 bombs all of a sudden vaults them over Slam Diego? You absolute mor0n?
LK has been spot on recently on who the Giants should be interested in. If they can’t sign Polar Bear, another trade candidate at 1B they should look into is Spencer Torkelson. Like Andrew Vaughn, Tork has ties to the Bay Area. At this rate, I would be happy with any of these guys because the platoon of Wade/Flores definitely needs an upgrade!
I like Larry doing more Giants, I love his Niner chats but I’m way more baseball savvy. Totally agree with Alonso. Rotation and Pen will be fine. We need to score runs! Exactly. Adames makes me want to buy tickets
I would love to see krueg posting attendance figures year to year going back 20 years. Also occupancy rates for luxury suites. I would like to see total salaries for players year to year 20 years and operating costs for the minor league system Nobody cares about baseball any more Basketball television ratings are way down. I would bet the giants are facing a future of tremendous financial instability and the absolute last thing the need is a massive salary increase. You gotta believe all operational costs are way up over 20 years. I would rather see that ballpark and team there a long time than the alternative
Pete would be amazing, but they won’t dish out the money for some dumb reason. I think Vaughn could be a great acquisition too, he has some legit power and is a local guy
Me myself think that Posey's hands are tied. Remember it's baseball that bought all those buildings in Mission Bay. Stop going to the games and see how fast they spend.
Giants are never getting anywhere with the dodgers spending and getting everyone they want. Giants should be focused on developing players not going after mid range players like Alonso. Be bad get some building blocks.
Lamonte Wade Jr had the highest on base percentage to start off 2024 in MLB before he got injured with the hammy stretching for that amazing Chapman play. This video should be motivation for Wade Jr.
Don’t follow MLB religiously anymore, so I’ve never heard of Andrew Vaughn. Based on what Krueg says, he sounds like about what you’d get from peak Wade (assuming he’s not injured again 😂) Fitzgerald at 2B would be good Getting Pete Alonso would definitely excite me. As it stands now, I probably won’t be putting the Giants in “must watch” category
Been done with the Wade Jr/Flores show at first for a couple of years now, can't believe we're looking at the possibility of another one. Maybe when the Giants finish their apartments around the stadium they'll actually start spending some money on baseball. Right now it's smoke and mirrors
Signing Alonso makes no sense. This team STINKS and then you're coughing up even more draft capital just to finish 4th again? Giants farm system is dead last in all of baseball. They might even get cvaught by the Rockies this year. Yet you want to shell out for another 220M payroll w/ tax penalties to ONCE AGAIN come in 4th? The owners arent cheap, they're smart. What a waste of freaking money that would be. Just like last years disaster. You only shell out cash in free agency for IMPACT. Alonso is an upgrade yes. He is not an IMPACT big leaguer. He's a solid-good 1st baseman w/ huge contact issues and horrible defense. Paying the Michael Conforto's of the world is how we ended up in this mess.
Nope it will get us to the playoffs at least the NLDS. The youngsters will get a taste of it and get motivated and you have Eldridge’s coming at the end of the year who sees it and you’ll have the giants back and other players will see that
The Giants are in a bad place. They are no more than an average BB Team and are dead last in Farm System rankings, and yet they waste $ on Adames and Ver. They do just enough for Giants fans to hope and keep watching. They have you fooled
Really like seeing Krueg talking Giants! We need more Giants talk live streams and videos.
Same. He’s one of my favorites to listen to regarding the Giants.
@@RichardCookerly Yes, all of his analysis is spot on, I just yearn for Giants!
I do to but Krueg has recently said. I don't talk much about the Giants because they are "Fucking boring." And when Bob Melvin talks it's a bore. Lol
I can’t believe we’re almost in February and Encarnacion & Flores are the DH candidates
Can’t believe Polar Bear isn’t a Giant already… we can be excited by Bryce, but it’s never a sure thing, will take some time probably, and once he really is ready, Pete can move to DH.
Eldridge is a massive question mark. He might not be MLB material yet (I hope he is). The whole blocking Eldridge excuse is garbage. If I can get ~40 HR a year out of Alonso? Let Eldridge force himself into the line-up.
Couldn’t be more spot on with all of this analysis Larry.
Was a great video. The thought of Wade/Flores instead of Alonso makes me sick.

Fuck yeah Kreug. The giants BADLEY need Alonso
They need alot more than that, and thats just to catch Zona and SD
Dodgers are on another level
We need more Giants content Larry! Huge space lacking on UA-cam
Deep down the Giants are cheap. Too many people in their ownership group not on the same page.
Alonso, without a doubt upgrades the Giants lineup and on-field product dramatically.
Vaughn? 😂 May as well just play Wade. At least Wade is a LH batter.
Well said sir! Well made points

100% agree on polar bear hats. Oracle Park would be full of them in a matter of weeks.
Id be Geeked if they got the Polar Bear ,We Giants Fans have been Dreaming about a Power Hitting First Baseman for 30+ years !
And that's ridiculous.
We’ve been waiting for a power hitter for 20 years
@@SFGiantsfan9797To be fair, the wish was for a power hitting first baseman. I'm assuming Bonds wasn't factored in because of the position.
Dreaming? Get a life
@@kevinb3307 🐻❄️
OMG Pete Alonzo? Really ? How could we be so lucky ? Gee, if we could sign Mr Met, we'd be a contender for the last playoff spot, maybe.
Not maybe. We will be because the padres fell off so much this offseason

Low run scoring and crappy defense has hamstrung the Giants when not contending. Yes, that could be any team's (other than the Dodgers") problem.
Me myself think that Posey's hands are tied. Remember it's baseball that bought all those buildings in Mission Bay. Stop going to the games and see how fast they spend.
Some things never change eh Kreug??
Either one !!!!! Plz Mr Posey!!!!!! Alonso #1
Larry 💯 percent
Nah what does mlb need to do? Get an fn salary cap implemented and make it a bit better as far as competitive balance goes.
Paul Goldschmidt was available, NY signed him for one year, $15 million
And maybe that’s the only place he wanted to go
Yall would be mad that we signed a 37 year old man
Bugs bunny changeup 😂. He had an arm

Only Alonso anyone else in free agency is a no

I think Trevino is a risk . I don’t like the idea of taking injured recovering players . I’d pass on him
Giants need to blow past the CBT and put a team that can compete. These greedy cheapskate owners owe it to the fans. Put up or Sell 💯
I don’t know why posey has these opertunities infront of him he doesn’t take them he’s a couple pieces away from the postseason
because they are a 4th place team and signing Alonso still keeps you in 4th place. Waste of money idiot.
They should sign Alonso and trade him at the trade deadline for picks. The Giants won't be competitive this year
Marcus Stroman would be a bad pickup for the Giants.
Giants owners are CHEAP. Posey is a PR shield to make fans feel nostalgia. At best a 500 team. Rich club, cheapskate owner.
Giants ownership group probably loved Farhan and his weak moves but they had to part with him because the fan base wasn’t having it.
What about Bregman at 2B?
No we have fitz
Ahhh helll naw on Stroman, clubhouse cancer
Scratching my head at one of your comments.
You're a baseball guy and you'd rather watch Pete Alonzo than Matt Chapman?
Uhhhhhhh
I'd rather watch Alonso AND Chapman
Bob Melvin likes to play the oldsters. He is a bad manager. He is horrible at bullpen management. And you want Kim? He hit 227 last year!

Last piece??? The Gaints are going to be, at best mediocre.
You haven’t seen how bad the padres are doing and also the Dbacks buying pitchers track record hasn’t been the best
Krueg start covering the Yankees. I know they are out of market.
The Giants can have the NL ALL STAR TEAM. And they still cant compete with the Dodgers
The Giants are in a bad place. They are no more than an average BB Team and are dead last in Farm System rankings, and yet they waste $ on Adames and Ver. They do just enough for Giants fans to hope and keep watching.
They have you fooled
