The Kid

What is your lasting memory of Ken Griffey, Jr.?

The sweet swing? His swag? He was the face of a generation. Now, he is one step away from the Hall of Fame.

It doesn't seem that long ago that he was tearing up Fenway Park during the 1999 All-Star Game. Or when he hit the warehouse in Baltimore.

5 Under the Radar Picks for SF Giants

The big names will get all the attention but what about some more reasonable and modest options? The Giants have not had the best luck at fishing for that big name free agent.

They missed out on Jon Lester and James Shields last offseason. Tried on Torii Hunter at one time. Vladimir Guerrero was also on that list way back in the day.

The "big name" landings were Barry Zito and Aaron Rowand. Neither worked out well, despite Zito's postseason performance in 2012.

The Giants have done a very good job of finding those under the radar guys that can fill roles and play a big part on championship teams. Ryan Vogelsong, Tim Hudson, and Michael Morse being among some of the more recent successes.

Here are five guys who could be along the same mold:

SP Doug Fister

Giants should remember him well. He was one of the better starting pitchers the team faced in the postseason on two different occasions. In 2014 while with the Nationals, he went seven shutout innings at AT&T Park for the win. In 2012 with the Tigers, he went toe-to-toe with Madison Bumgarner and went six innings and allowed one run.

Shopping time!

2010. 2012. 2014. I think we all know how this story goes...

We all know the general story of the 2015 season for the San Francisco Giants. Defending World Series champions, Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey play true to form, Matt Duffy emerges as a regular starter, starting pitchers look old, lineup is decimated by injuries, miss the postseason.

Somehow despite all of the bumps in the road, the Giants won 84 games.

Hunter Pence played only 52 games. Joe Panik with 100. Nori Aoki only saw the field 93 times. Brandon Belt and Crawford each missed time.

Which means that it should only take a healthy lineup to make a strong push. But to get over the top, the rotation could use an upgrade. Outside of Bumgarner, the Giants had to duct tape the rest of the rotation together.

Tim Hudson, Jake Peavy, Ryan Vogelsong, Chris Heston, Tim Lincecum, and Matt Cain all had their shots but no one provided that consistency needed. Hudson has retired, Vogelsong and Lincecum are free agents.

That leaves a rotation right now of Bumgarner, Peavy, Heston, Cain, and possibly Yusmeiro Petit. It does not lend itself much excitement.

Luckily, the Giants are in the position to break out the checkbook in a big way. So who should the Giants go after?

Let's start with David Price.

The Toronto lefty may very well win the AL Cy Young Award and led the Blue Jays to the postseason for the first time since 1993. He is a great regular season pitcher and hasn't had an ERA higher than 3.50 since 2009, his first full season.

Think about a rotation with Madison Bumgarner and David Price. *Shivers*

Price has been the best pitcher on every team he has played for and that would not be the case in San Francisco. It might push him even more to come to a team that has won it multiple times with young stars just now entering their prime.

How about Jordan Zimmermann?

He isn't quite to the quality of Price but Zimmermann is just as nasty. The right hander was in the Cy Young conversation two seasons ago when he posted a 2.66 ERA with the Nationals. He was the pitcher that dominated the Giants in the NLDS for 8.2 innings before Matt Williams saved the day and took him out of the game.

He would come at a slightly cheaper price than Price and could allow the team to swoop up another arm.

Want to add to the Giants-Dodgers rivalry? There is always Zack Greinke.

What better way to cripple your most hated rival and the team that won the NL West than taking away one of their aces?

[SFGate.com: SHOULD THE GIANTS PURSUE GREINKE?]

Greinke might come at the highest cost but he is also coming off a season with an ERA of 1.66. He led the league in ERA, WHIP (0.84), and ERA+ (225) and his 5.00 K/BB ratio wasn't bad either. He may very well win his second Cy Young Award and did I mention he can hit? He hit .224 this season with two home runs.

The batting practices between Greinke and Bumgarner would be something to see.

The only hesitation would be that Greinke is already 32, two years older than either Price or Zimmermann, and he is likely going to be in the range of a six-year deal. While still effective now, will he be that way when he is 35, 36, or 37?

This is not a top of the rotation option but bringing back Mike Leake would lengthen the rotation.

[ESPN: GIANTS STILL HOPING TO RE-SIGN LEAKE]

There is no guarantee of what Matt Cain will show up in 2016 or, for that matter, Heston or Peavy. Peavy had his moment but with no consistency. Heston started to tire midway through the season.

Leake, much like the rest of the team, spent some time on the disabled list and should be able to rebound next season. He has had ERAs in the mid 3.00s while playing for Cincinnati and a few seasons at AT&T Park should lower that quite a bit.

And, of course, #EvenYear.

It Just Wouldn't End...

And we go to the 10th... the 11th... the 12th... all the way to the 14th. It was an endurance test to watch it all. I was getting woozy and delirious watching it.

I thought the game was going to be decided on a Bill Buckner-esque boot from Eric Hosmer. Then the guy who nearly tied Game 7 against the Giants last year tied it up in the 9th this year (Alex Gordon).

At one point in this game, there were technical difficulties from FOX Sports. We got the MLB international broadcast with Matt Vasgersian and John Smoltz, which made me very happy. That is until they moved Joe Buck and crew into their digs.

It got to the point that Chris Young and Bartolo Colon were in the game at the same time.

All the while, Twitter was the place to be and here are some of my highlights from the night. And this was just Game 1!

The FOX truck lost power during the broadcast. Dallas, did you have something to do with this?

They just brought Buck and crew into Vasgersian's box? Hold your ground, Matt! #FOX #WorldSeries

Can you imagine this? I lost it on this one.

In radar-gun world, it's great that Young and Colon - who would look like the number 10 if they stood next to each other - can still thrive
