honestly, not gonna be more that a 1-WAR difference from the rest of the possibly starters. I’d prefer johnson but it’s not gonna be a huge deal either way, especially early-season since we’re not going to use our 5th starter until about a month or so into the season.

Possible uses for your Steven Johnson: 5th starter, long reliever, batboy, go-fer, food taster. Just keep him on the roster!

Since we no longer have Merkin Valdez, I’ve already put this game into the win column.

EH
There’s a very loose correlation between cactus and regular season.
2009 cactus:
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/standings/spring?type=loc&year=2009
"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."
My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.
My mini analysis
Top 2009 ST teams:
Cactus:
1) LAA – playoffs
2) MIL – just short of winning season
3) TEX – winning season
4) KC – nevermind
5) SF – winning season
GrapefruitL
1) NYY – playoff$ + some silly trophy
2) ATL – winning season
3) STL – playoffs + crotch failure
4) MIN – playoffs
5) BOSTON -playoffs
The 2009 correlation wasn’t too bad except for the one outlier in KC.
Win the inning.

Posey for Yuniesky Betancourt
Make it happen, Sabean.
So let me get this straight........
Buster shows he can rake and call a game well enough that freaking Wellemeyer goes 4 scoreless, yet is somehow a worse option than Fat Boy Bengie who is the slowest man alive and calls too many curveballs for Timmy (not to mention the extra 4mil)
WTF mate?
Buster doesn’t have enough veteran savvy

In the Philippines
A torta is made from ground beef or pork sauteed in a hot pan with minced garlic and onion and occasionally a few chopped tomatoes and then mixed with beaten eggs and fried.
Ryan Rohlinger lives in my basement. I let him out to play baseball.
I grill an eggplant, open it up with a fork, lay it in a frying pan and pour the egg mixture with diced potatoes and ground beef over it. Makes a good torta that way.

yeah
he also announced a game at my school but i figured it was because of the bay area proximity…but no…now they have him flying to BFE Utah to call games…he’s pretty good at all sports though…
I had the same thoughts when I heard Dave Flemming said his name
Then I thought KNBR/Giants must have pay him in peanuts literally for his work.
