Only Baseball Matters complains about the way the Giants spend their money (emphasis in the original):

Every time I read an article about how we can’t afford to pay for a great player like Pujols, or Fielder, or Vladimir Guerrero, or Alex Rodriguez, great, championship-caliber players in their prime, I remember the vast amounts of money thrown away on players whose production was replaceable by major-league minimum dollars, and I am dismayed. Were it not for that mismanagement, the team could easily afford to pay for the one big bat they need to change everything. Now we are three seasons into having the fortune of championship-caliber pitching. We snuck into the playoffs in ’10, and won it all on the basis of that amazing pitching. Two seasons thrown away in a row with the worst offense in all of baseball, and we are looking at adding maybe 20 runs of offense with Melky Cabrera and Angel Pagan. This, while two of the greatest first basemen of all time were there for the taking. First base, by the way, being a position in which the Giants have fielded league-worst offensive production for more than 20 years running.

Sadly, I agree. Of course, with a World Series win under his belt, it will be difficult the change the culture in the Giants front office.
