Dickey: Giants waited too long to deal
July traditionally is the month that separates the pretenders from the contenders in baseball, as it has been for the Giants this season. Because his team was playing in the pathetic NL West, general manager Brian Sabean deluded himself into thinking that the Giants had a shot at the postseason. When they had to play nine games against top teams from the East and Central, eight of which the Giants lost, that dream was shattered.
Dickey: A’s need to add another bat
The A’s are one big bat away from serious contention in the American League postseason race. The question is: Will ownership be willing to step up?
Dickey: An All-Star makeover
Baseball is prospering, but there are changes that could improve the game, starting with the All-Star Game. Here are some suggestions:
Dickey: Giants are better off planning for future now
As major league baseball approaches the All-Star Game, reality is setting in. Even in their pathetically weak division, the Giants are not serious contenders, closer to last place than first. The emphasis should still be on developing a team that can be a contender in the near future.
Dickey: Rodgers would be wise to follow Young’s lead
Former Cal quarterback Aaron Rodgers faces a daunting task this season, replacing Brett Favre. A Sports Illustrated article last week detailed the careers of quarterbacks who have largely failed when they replaced legends, but the best lesson for Rodgers is the one who succeeded: Steve Young.
Dickey: Don't count on A's trades yet
In the last year, there has been frequent speculation that the A’s might trade Joe Blanton or Rich Harden. Now, it seems unlikely that they’ll trade either one, for vastly different reasons. |
