Dude, so Huff glove work is incredibly bad, and is so bad that it is the reason they are forced to revisit Bowker at first. I can’t tell if that is good news or bad.

I think Huff is getting a bad rap

I was at the SD game 2 nights ago where he missed a bunch of balls, but they were all pretty terribly thrown. I don’t think I’ve seen a 1b get pulled off the bag in one game as much as he was there.

I was there as well,

All three throws were awful, and the only thing I could really fault him for on those was that he probably should have conceded the outs at 1B to make sure the errant throws wouldn’t result in extra bases. However, I also think a good defensive 1B would have snagged Gonzalez’s double (particularly a right-handed one who once played third base).

yeah, does not compute

I was told he would get a long look this spring. But that was before 1B Aubrey Huff’s defensive deficiencies became so apparent, prompting the team to give Buster Posey and John Bowker some longer looks at first base. Pill needs to get his work in the minor-league camp.

Pill was going to get a long look, but the starter looks to suck, so now Pill’s headed for Fresno while they teach two other guys to play 1B?

I think that means they have Pill penciled in for mayor of Fresno (or Richmond…)

Really starting to look like they want to keep Buster on the major league squad isn’t it?

My Bucardo is better than yours.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

Buster needs to be in Fresno until at least April 12, 2010

Don't worry

He’ll be at Fresno on April 12, 2012.

Count me down as happy any time Bowker can get more plate appearances.

it must suck to get cut early because Audrey can’t field his position.
