Official 2023 San Francisco Giants Off-Season Thread - Jung Hoo Lee signs with SF 6-years $113 Million

Really hope we dont see a bunch of Giants fans talking trash about Pablo.  Pablo was a great Giant..  Tons of contributions and memories that I will remember for the rest of my life.  He will always be a part of this team and I hope he does well in the future.

 now i know how the a's fans feel

 

[TheGodFresco]

I've never liked the redsox organization, and will not root for a redsox player, to me the only team that SANDOVAL could have gone that would be worse is the Dodgers. I'm happy for what he did as a giant, but good riddance.

Throw the money at Tomas and Lester

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Even before Pablo went to Boston I've always hated how they buy up everybody's home grown talent. Always nice to see him at the bottom of the AL East. Thanks for the Memories Pablo but you're going to realize you made a mistake.



Would love to see that Cuban Kid here. We need a bat badly

 

[wooster]

I feel uneasy that he left.

And I'd feel equally uneasy if he would have resigned here.


I'll preface my comment by saying it's baseless to pin much on an athletes social media tendencies. But it's been a ***** move by Pablo so far. If someone like Patrick Willis decided to leave, he'd make it a point to thank the fans/city/organization. This fat *** is stuffing his face doing that ******ed Hanley Ramirez eye goggle thing while reposting David Ortiz's pictures.

Not that I care or anything.

 

[TheGodFresco]

^ just as you typed that he posted on IG a thank you

 

[red80]

like i said a page back: it sucks losing panda; however, it sucks even more knowing we dont have a replacement for him. FA pool is trash and we need to replace a 3b/middle-of-the-order bat.

 

[wooster]

Nope, too late.  

**** him.  

 

[TheGodFresco]

Nope, too late.  

**** him.  

Agree, should have posted this before posting those stupid ******* Hanley goggles smh

Can't blame the guy for wanting to get(be) fat and only play offense in 2 years.

I've seen this on every social media site all day

 

[daprescription]

It's hard not to think that way. The guy already showed that he could get in excellent shape, so he can't use the excuse that he's big boned or something. Despite the weight, he played some of the best defense for his position last season, but we all know he doesn't want to be in good shape.

I work at AT&T Park during the season. I'm not gonna lie, going to miss his name being introduced before his at at-bat. However, his at-bat ritual not so much 

Feels

Lol this how i felt then anger. Still mad but i appreciate everything he did for the team

Wonder why he signed with boston just over a few million. Makes no sense

Personal brand? Marketability? ESPN loves them some Yankees-Red Sox exposure/over saturation. Just a thought.

that "personal brand" "marketability" stuff is so damn corny, and it only started to surface in recent years.     

i really don't care about an athletes outside ventures or what he's trying to do for his personal brand.   i care about him putting up good stats and helping my team win.   if you can do all the outside stuff without it affecting your performance on the field or being a distraction then fine i guess, but this personal brand stuff gets annoying after a while.

i never heard about an athletes personal brand 10 years ago.

I heard Pablo left because the AL has designated hitters

He can prologue his career by being a DH later down the road by going to Boston now and keeping that door open

Dope avi and sig

 

[hyper cutter]

Seems to me Ortiz convinced Pablo to be his heir apparent at DH.

 

[red80]

Pablo just said he doesnt want to play DH at the introductory conference.

I want Jon Lester.

Madbum and Lester 

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Tim Flannery stepped down as 3rd base coach

 

[hyper cutter]

Pablo also said he wants to wear our jersey forever.

And he even protected himself by saying he used to be a catcher and wanted a new challenge.

Pretty sure the DH option had a decent amount of appeal to him.

Edit-I really ain't even mad though. Sure he'll be back eventually. Anything short of Bonds leaving, sports can't make me that upset. Oh yeah Feb 3rd 2013 was the crappiest though.
