Giants to meet with Kikuchi Yusei (maybe, I think)

The Giants are apparently one of seven teams that are interested in Japanese high-school pitcher Kikuchi Yusei. Nothing will probably happen, but it's nice to see the Giants exploring options in Japanese talent.

Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

I think SS is the new 3B.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

I think SS, LF, RF, CF, 2B and 1B are the new 3B.

SS & 2nd base as problems? I await the Zombie Corpses of Lemaster and Brad Wellman to save us!

And while I am on the hate/rage trail I forgot about this guy playing CF for the Orange & Black.

Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.

I laughed when watching this video at about 1:14 when he signals to the 3rd baseman to play in for a bunt, then starts moving his arms like he’s running. He seems to throw on the one LH batters hands pretty well.
