giants sign lucius fox


MIAMI – The Giants made their biggest international free-agent splash in club history on Thursday, agreeing to terms with Bahamian shortstop Lucius Fox on a contract that will pay the 18-year-old a $6 million bonus.

The bonus more than doubles the franchise’s previous high for an international player, and the total commitment will be greater because the bonus exceeds the Giants’ signing pool of $2.1309 million. The club must pay a 100 percent tax on the overage, so the overall investment in Fox will exceed $10 million.

batman next?

I hope he can play CF. He ain't supplanting Crawford or Panik down the road. That or he can be trade bait.

crawford has 2 arbitration years left, he might not be around 3 years from now

Is it me or does pagan have no range anymore?

Buster a monster wish they can finally beat the A's in a series coming up. Brewers are ass too Giants gotta make some moves this next week.

 

[yseJ]

we got a nice lil streak going, of course it helps we're facing ass teams for a bit now.

This team 100% shut me up brehs.

Watching the lineup beat up on the A's right now thinking who could have ever imagined that Duffy Panik and Heston would put in all the work they've done this season.

Haven't kept up with trade rumors, but if they trade for another legit starter?

I doubt they trade for a rental starter, they dont have much in farm and sabean been going away from making big splashes (rightfully so imo)

I think at most they can get an ok starter if price is right.

the august schedule is really tough, tho, so they have to win like all the games they should win to keep with the doggies

That losing streak before the break really set them back.

But this lineup with a healthy Aoki and another starter along with Bum,Cain,Heston,Peavy would have me hype. These streaky mfers are fun to watch.

I wouldnt say just those two guys. the hitting altogether saved the season. we are on top of the league in obp, average, runs...who wouldve thought that at the start of the year when they were dreadful ?

i think they filled the 2 biggest holes

duffy basically is a upgrade over panda except he tends to let hard hit balls go underneath his glove

heston clearly has been the second best starter this year behind madbum

of course, crawford and panik have taken their games up another level

posey needs more rest at 1b though, duvall is a keeper and future starting catcher


i hope they take a look at chapman though

He did OK today. The rotation needs a bit of an upgrade though if we really trynna make another run at this. Madbum the only one I trust in the postseason. Everyone else is shakey baby.
