Giants sign Pablo's brother
"Sandoval, 28, is the older brother of Giants third baseman Pablo. Though he hasn't played affiliated ball since '04, Michael has remained active on the international scene (Baseball-Reference Bullpen to the rescue) and in the Venezuelan League. Signed by the Twins in '97, he made it to high Class A Fort Myers before the ride ended. Sandoval batted a respectable .291/.375/.417 in 175 at-bats for Newark last season in his return to U.S. soil."
Seems like its probably more of a favor to Pablo than anything else, but I still love the move. Also signed Andy Sisco which seems like a decent upside signing if he can come back from TJ surgery.

I agree on both fronts. Keeping Pablo happy is important to me.
But shhh…I haven’t drafted my Giant yet.

I was under the impresson that the male liger is the big boy because it has the lion’s hormone to grow as big as possible with the larger womb space of the tiger for development.

Red pandas are more closely related to raccoons than pandas.
I say this mainly so I can embed a red panda photo.

Been watching this for 5 minutes rooting for the little guy to get the door knob.
If God had intended us not to rosterbate, he would've made our arms shorter.

Poor little guy.

A Giant 140 LB Rodent ? Probably not a good idea.
(Human included to show scale)
Beside the fact that we already have a Squirrel as a Team mascot.
