Wow, I didn’t know Fred Lewis was linked to Brad Ziegler like that.

I’m going to assume the “favorite Giant” isn’t Sir Sidney or Livan

Rafael Rodriguez: Pretty young!

This guy has a point

how the hell don’t you have jon lester on this list? overcoming and surviving cancer last season then throws a no hitter and becomes one of top young pitchers in the league this season. might not get the attention or be as good of a story as josh hamilton but to not have him in the top 25 is completely ignorant and absurd.

Also don’t even think about brushing Freddie back, he’ll break your skull.

Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!

It’s just the media’s west coast bias keeping him out.

Lance Armstrong has the market cornered on the use of the “cancer” card over an extended period of time. Now if Lester started dating the next “it” girl…maybe go for one of Tom Brady’s castoffs, then we’d have ourselves a real success story!

it's always noonan somewhere

Lots of former Giants mentioned. Also, I had no idea Freddie tried to blow up Brad Ziegler’s head

Dan Giese! Mike Cervenak!

And, really, is Tim LIncecum a UNICEF case? He’s solid muscle.

I thought Eugenio Velez was the one who looks like Starvin’ Marvin.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.
