Still have no idea why Suzuki isn't hitting 8th whenever he starts...
 
I think Snit listneed to me a few games back when I said camArgo should be the everyday 3B.
 
The Giants are old, not good, and have a pretty bad farm system.

Should they begin their rebuild this offseason ala Atlanta's 2014 offseason, in trading off their main guns in Posey, Crawford, Belt, and Pence just to replenish their farm system? In looking at their contract situations, all of them have huge contracts, so it might be a harder sell than one thought. Crawford starts making 15 million a year next year (through 2021), Belt makes 17 million a year next year (through 2021), Posey makes 22 million a year with an option in 2022, and Pence makes 18.5 million a year through 2018. Pence may be doable if they eat salary, but the others will be harder to trade. I can see Posey being their Freeman in keeping the most popular Giant to appease the fanbase.

Most of those contracts I understand, given their core's championship success; but how the hell is Belt set to be paid $17 million a year through 2021?

Posey would be the guy to trade. He's good enough at his position and only 30 to be worth it. An AL team could DH him as well. Boston or Texas makes sense, but what about something really interesting like Houston.

You could move Pence but not sure what you'd get back for him.

Belt actually has somewhat surprisingly to me been an off and on 4 WAR player. But I don't think anyone would fall over themselves trying to get him at 17 million per given what we know about the 1B market.
 
Giving up a 2-out, 2-run double from an opposite field off the wall hit to the opposing pitcher is pretty hard to believe
