Nate the Great?
I'm hoping so, given the front office's inability to find quality free agents. He's 27 and pretty great at playing D in right field. I'm betting that Sabean may gamble that Nate's ready to step up rather go for the fading veteran.
One of the few positive developments on offense this year -- other than Pablo Sandoval -- was the occasional strong performance by Nate Schierholtz. One of the better games of the year for Orange and Black came on July 6 when he hit 2 homers, including a walkoff in the 14th. I had the good fortune to be at that game and it did feel like the Giants had a pretty good shot at making the postseason.
When Nate went down with an injury late in the season, it was one of the final nails in the coffin.
Julian Levine at Giants Nirvana has a good recap of Nate's season.
