The Giants were 20-14 after Aug. 24, the third best mark in the National League. They were 16-11 in September, posting their best winning percentage (.593) of a losing season. The finishing run secured the season series with the Diamondbacks (12-7), Dodgers (11-8), Padres (11-8) and Rockies (10-9). According to the Giants PR staff, they haven’t lost a season series within the division since dropping 12 of 18 to the Padres in 2010.

you can thank major corporations in SF for that.
i went to a hand full of games this year where the stadium was 3/4 full if they are lucky. just like when i was goin to Niner games when they were goin 1-15, they were "sold out" every game but the stadium would be half full...

LOL, do you know how many injuries the Padres had this year??? GTFO buddy!!! Bottom line, the Padres suck, and the midgets STILL finished with the same record as them. Pathetic. Damn, you SF fans are so sensitive, I was just fucking with Kah lol.
Do you think that you telling me that Petco doesnt sell out is supposed to make me mad? "LMAO"!!! I cant make other people go to the game and support the team. Aint nothin I can do about that one. At least we dont cry that the other team cheated and make excuses we when lose (like you do whenever the whiners lose). Nice try though, fat boy.

Giants cant/wont pony up the money for granderson and im not so sure about ellsbury but im sure hes gonna command some maor money too.
Giants have about $12 mil a year to work with, and thats including a $5 mil bump that they had a few years ago, assuming they bump it again.
its not like the giants DONT have the money, but they're not big spenders in the Dodgers/Yankees sense

looks like i wasnt the only one thinking this
The Giants might have interest in Brian McCann as a lefty power source, reports CBS Sports' Jon Heyman. That possibility would, as Heyman notes, be a little strange, since the Giants have one of baseball's best catchers in Buster Posey, and also a very good first baseman in Brandon Belt. A source close to the Giants tells Heyman that "it may depend on how much playing time McCann seeks," which is also somewhat odd, since it's not as if McCann is a borderline starter, or bench fodder. Other clubs surely view McCann as a starter and will be willing to pay him as such.

lot of speculation about the Giants looking at Chris Young
some other interesting things, as mentioned by Andrew Baggarly
The Giants "went hard after" Jose Dariel Abreu and offered the Cuban slugger a contract that paid him roughly the same average annual value of his six-year, $68MM deal with the White Sox. The catch was that the Giants' offer wasn't six years long as they didn't want to make that long a commitment to a player that is projected by many scouts to be a future designated hitter.
Ryan Vogelsong's $6.5MM option won't be picked up by the Giants but Baggarly thinks the veteran righty will re-sign on a cheaper one-year deal with incentives.
There is mutual interest between the Giants and Javier Lopez, and the money saved by declining Vogelsong's option could help the club afford the veteran southpaw.
The Giants are "probably not" realistic players for Masahiro Tanaka, as Baggarly figures that his posting price will exceed what the Giants are willing to offer, plus big spenders like the Dodgers and Yankees are in the mix. Baggarly reported in August that San Francisco had an interest in the Japanese righty.
Brandon Belt could be approached about a contract extension in Spring Training but the Giants will just work out a one-year deal in the meantime to cover Belt's first year of arbitration eligibility. MLBTR's Matt Swartz projects Belt to earn $2.4MM in 2014 and MLBTR's Tim Dierkes suggests that Allen Craig's extension could be a model for a Belt extension, though with some adjustments since Belt is a Super Two player.
The Giants are looking only for "reliable innings guys" in their rotation so the likes of Roy Halladay, Tim Hudson and Josh Johnson will only draw the club's interest if they're healthy.
Though the Giants are looking for a right-handed power bat and might trade prospects to get one, the club is unlikely to move the likes of Kyle Crick, Edwin Escobar or Adalberto Mejia.
When it comes to left field, the Giants may prioritize defense. Baggarly expects San Francisco to look for a left fielder in a trade rather than free agency.
Baggarly hasn't heard Scott Kazmir's name mentioned as a possibility in San Francisco.
Mark Trumbo "has his admirers in the [Giants] front office." While the Angels are known to be willing to move Trumbo for young pitching talent, I'm not sure the Giants are a good trade partner given that they're looking for arms themselves.
Given Marco Scutaro's age, Brandon Phillips "makes a lot of sense" for the Giants. Baggarly makes it clear that he's only speculating, however. Phillips is rumored to be on the shopping block but Reds GM Walt Jocketty recently denied that he's talked about Phillips with other teams.
The Giants are very unlikely to surrender their first round (14th overall) draft pick to sign a free agent who has rejected a qualifying offer. This could have a major impact on the chances of the team pursuing Bronson Arroyo, who could be extended a qualifying offer by the Reds. Baggarly feels that Arroyo and Dan Haren are the free agent pitchers who are most likely to be San Francisco targets.
Recent Pablo Sandoval trade rumors are "total scuttlebutt," in Baggarly's opinion.

The Giants will not re-sign Javier Lopez before he hits free agency.
The two sides have talked, but Lopez is determined to test out the free agent waters. The left-hander earned $4.25 million each of the last two seasons and shouldn't have trouble netting a multi-year deal after putting up a 1.83 ERA in 2013.
they also didnt pick up vogelsong's option

Brandon Phillips seems ideal... the guy we should've kept was Beltran tho... I don't think there will ever be half a power hitting presence in LF like #25.
