did you see e tweet/twat/twit whatever it is from Baggs about the competition in RF?

extrabaggs Bruce Bochy says RF “no question” will be the Giants’ biggest battle of the spring. Candidates are Schierholtz, Bowker, Velez.

LOL FRED!

Buster Posey says he has gained 15 pounds this winter to boost his durability. Wants to be G’s catcher, but is happy Molina is back.

“Maybe if I look more like Bengie, the giant-headed dude will play me…”

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

Approve?

I made the decision!

PS: By August will his weight be back down?

From Baggs

–FWIW, to this observer, Posey looked bigger. Pablo Sandoval did not look smaller.

NEEDS MORE INNINGS AT CATCHER TO LEARN HOW TO CATCH. BUT LET’S HAVE HIM PLAY OTHER POSITIONS IN THE MEANTIME

The Best Way

What is wrong with the kid playing some infield? There are plenty of catchers in camp.

by wilriv21 on Feb 5, 2010 1:40 PM PST up reply actions  

Quite simply, there is not enough flexibility with the available infielders on the roster. If the Giants start the season with 12 pitchers on the 25-man and thus carry 13 position players, and if those include, Molina, Uribe, Sandoval, DeRosa, Bowker, Ishi, Huff, Renteria, Sanchez, Schierholz, Velez, Rowand, and Posey, then only 10 of those position players could play the infield (Molina, Rowand, and Nate are the exceptions). I totaly get it!

I think you want the Guzman thread.

I wouldn't mind Posey at SS

No wonder Bengie came back. Here comes the three year extension with Posey becoming am infielder permanently.

No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you

where does it say that? Did I miss a paragraph or two?

by wilriv21 on Feb 5, 2010 1:41 PM PST up reply actions  

From the latest Inbox...

I understand what an advantage it is to get offensive production from the catcher’s spot, but wouldn’t it be in the Giants’ best interest to move a hitter of Buster Posey’s capabilities to first base and prolong his career?
