Anyone else not buying the flu?

Apparently they are saying that the Hammer wasn't at the game because of the flu? Has anyone heard anymore information about this? My first thought when Cruz came into the game was the same as many of yours.... who are we getting from San Fran or Boston? Is it possible that this is still the case and they are just using the "flu" to buy a little more time until the deal is done? I guess that wouldn't make much sense, but I would hope if a deal is done it is with Boston. There isn't much that impresses me from the Giants, and the prospects I would want, would just add to our already deep outfield, not fill any holes going forward. Boston is not going to give up their future 3B for the Hammer, and I don't know that trading him for a 19 year old ss prospect is going to have either side too excited. Lavarnway would be interesting, but if I am trading away our closer, I want that bopper bat in waiting. I don't see it coming back from either Boston or San Fransico, so for that I am hoping it is just the flu. Although if they deal him to LAA for Trumbo I wouldn't mind that one bit.
