Cain would get you the most value, cause he is younger than Lincecum and is proven, young ace who could lead a staff. And besides Lincecum is the Giants franchise player…he wasn’t nicknamed “The Franchise” for nothing. And secondly, it hasn’t worked out for Cain as far as the results are concerned. So put Cain and Sanchez and some prospects in a deal to get that middle-of the order hitter they are seeking and needing. And I still feel strong with a staff of Zito, Lincecum, Lowry, Correia, and Misch or another prospect arises from the farm. Hence, maybe the Giants could throw in a deal with the Marlins for Cabrera and Willis in trading Cain, Sanchez, outfield prospect Fred Lewis, Bengie Molina because Marlins are needing a catcher and if they want Durham, that would be just as sweet to throw him in there to fill second base, moving Uggla to 3rd base to fill Cabrera’s void. How about that? And sign Andruw Jones as your primary free agent signee and your offseason is complete. The Giants outlook would look like this: Rotation of Willis, Zito, Lincecum, Lowry, and Correia. And a lineup that tops off with leadoff man Rajai Davis, platooning with Dave Roberts and a middle of the order of Randy Winn, Miguel Cabrera, and Andruw Jones. Catching duties could go to Guillermo Rodriguez and Elezier Alfonzo. We could go from Pretenders to Contenders in no time with these deals!
