The Giants offense is bad. We knew that going into the season. We are seeing it now. Why wait to fix it?
The Giants could call someone up from AAA, shift Posey to the infield or give Carlos Quentin a shot.
Or… bring back Barry Bonds

Is it too early for teams to be panicking? Or are some teams showing their glaring weaknesses early and should be addressed?
In some cases, teams shouldn’t panic.
In others, they should solve a problem before they ferment.
Meanwhile it is The Sunday Request.

I love David Ortiz to death. But has there ever been a player caught in a PED web who has been given a bigger pass than Big Papi? OK, other than Andy Pettitte.
Which makes his rambling and meandering editorial for The Players’ Tribune more aggravating. Just play, be the charming Big Papi and ride off into the sunset! Don’t invite the criticism that you are barely getting to increase.
And maybe more stars who get caught should do what Manny Ramirez did. Accept it and move on.
