General manager Brian Sabean's trade talks have not run into a wall, but one player who might have been close to becoming a Giant did.

According to a major-league source, the Giants were well along in talks with the Royals on a deal for outfielder David DeJesus, perhaps finalizing the details, when he crashed into the fence at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night and tore a ligament in his right thumb. DeJesus will require surgery and is out for the year.

The deal would have been for two minor-league prospects, another source said. On Thursday afternoon, before DeJesus got hurt, Sabean reiterated on his KNBR radio program that he is reluctant to trade a starter because he does not have a replacement in reserve.

The Giants are one of three or four teams still looking at DeJesus' teammate, Jose Guillen, a source said.

Many here realize that I am NOT a fan of Dayton Moore--shocking, I realize--but it's hard to criticize a GM for holding out on making a deal to maximize value, assuming a deal was going to get done.

*praying*

I like the prospect of trading with Sabean. He's prone to giving up WAY too much, prospect-wise. See: Pierzynski, A.J. for Liriano and Joe Nathan.

THe guy I really like in their system is OF Thomas Neal. Bumgarner isn't going to happen for Guillen, but I think Sabean would have considered it for DeJesus...

Nobody wins!

This is from Royals Review:

Omar: HEY DAYTON ITS OMAR
Dayton: Talk to me
Omar: I GOT A BIG BAG OF SHIT WHADDYA GOT
Dayton: A similarly large bag of shit
Omar: LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN
Dayton: Done

ROFL

We'd have a better bag of shit in that proposed swap. Seriously.

Just saying...

Meche = Perez
Guillen > Frencouer
Farnsworth >>> Castillo

Royals would be definite losers. BUT DM has a stiff cock for Francouer and always has.

Disagree on all three evaluations.

Meche and Guillen are completely worthless (injuries, suckage, etc.), and I still have 0 belief in Farnsworth in high-leverage situations.

LHP always can have some value, even if it's out of the pen. There is the possibility of lightning in a bottle from Frencouer, and Castillo is completely worthless.

KC would clearly have the better smelling sack of shit.

well atleast Perez would stay healthy unlike Meche
