Padres give Webb a beating (San Diego Union)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:45:02 GMT

A few National League pitchers wish Brian Giles had accepted a trade to the Red Sox 19 days ago. Since he spurned Boston, Giles has found his power swing. Arizona Diamondbacks ace Brandon Webb was on the wrong end of the latest blast, a three-run homer that keyed the Padres' 9-2 win last night at Petco Park.

Giles would have been great protection (Extra Bases)

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 23:00:53 GMT

TORONTO - This is precisely why the Red Sox wanted to trade for Brian Giles. Not only for depth, but in case one of their outfielder's broke down. Well, J.D. has done just that with a herniated disc. The presumption is that Drew will wind on the disabled list. That's a big loss for the lineup. The Red Sox will likely try to pull off a deal to obtain another hitter. Giles would...

…And the horse you rode in on (Bugs and Cranks)

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 08:56:07 GMT

In my last article I wrote rather tongue-in-cheek about Brian Giles‘ proposed trade to the Red Sox, but in reality I figured his acceptance of the deal was more or less a formality. After all, the Padres were clearly interested in moving on, particularly amid reports that they’re looking to trim their payroll to around [...]

The Giles Non-Story (Ducksnorts)

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:51:15 GMT

I haven’t commented on the Brian Giles waiver thing because, frankly, nothing happened. That said, because the Red Sox were involved, people are making a big stink, so here’s my two cents. First off, pretty much everyone gets placed on waivers this time of year. That’s not a news item. Second, I’m hearing a lot of nonsense [...]
