Brian Sabean: Pablo Sandoval Needs to "Get His Act Together"

In his annual media session to discuss the upcoming offseason, Brian Sabean had a message to Pablo Sandoval.  His message was that he either "get his act together" otherwise he can expect to see himself in the minors.

Pablo Sandoval, who was courtside at the Warriors game last night, will have another Camp Panda this offseason but this time it will be a less publicized event.  He is set to work with trainers in San Diego and then is expected to report to Spring Training in January.

Bruce Bochy said he had a post-World Series meeting with Pablo and he is comfortable that Pablo understands what is at stake. 

Sabean also said that he contacted the agents for both Aubrey Huff and Juan Uribe and will try to work out some deals.  Huff has made it clear that he would like to come back to San Francisco but is likely looking for a three-year deal.  Now, whether the Giants are willing to offer that is another story.  The Giants have a lot of talent in the minor leagues and may not want to block that talent by signing veterans like Huff and Uribe to deals longer than two years.

The top offensive free agent is likely going to Carl Crawford and teams like the Red Sox and the Angels will have some interest.  Sabean said that the Giants will have interest as well but only if Crawford is interested in the Giants.  He made it clear that he doesn't want to be used as leverage for Crawford to get more money from another team.

Sabean wants to get more left-handed and hopefully more athletic.  That likely means that Jayson Werth is not in the cards for the Giants and that could also mean Adam Dunn is not either.  Dunn would be a nice left-handed bat if there was an opening at first base but he is not known for his athletic prowess.
