You got it all wrong. Grant posts the llama posts. Grant’s boss occasionally hops on Grant’s computer and writes up insightful articles on the Giants.

I can't really link, because WFB has multiple articles on one page

But:

3) Henry Schulman, beat writer for both the San Francisco Chronicle and The Sporting News, says the surprising spring success of Joe Nathan might enable the team to deal Felix Rodriguez or Ryan Jensen. I hope I’m wrong – I really, really do – but this would be a horrible idea. Nathan wasn’t getting outs before he was injured, and he wasn’t getting outs after he came back. He has a long history in professional baseball of not getting outs. The first week of spring shouldn’t change that. Trading Felix because Nathan is having a good spring would be like the Diamondbacks trading Junior Spivey to make room for Carlos Baerga.

And that grand slam was in the OF’s glove for a moment, so the guy who hit it thought he’d been robbed. He turned to walk to the dugout in dejection before he saw his teammates streaming out to celebrate, then had to turn around and run around the bases.

Looking through some of those comments, I stumbled across a thread about the 2006 draft.

What rankles me is the idea that this is the weakest draft in years. Of course it is. When the Giants have a top-ten pick, it isn’t the year spilling over with talent, or the year were ridiculously talented Scott Boras clients slide down the draft ladder. It’s the year when the 9th pick isn’t much different from the 29th pick. When the Warriors have the #1 pick overall, it isn’t a year when Tim Duncan or LeBron James comes out, it’s a year when Joe Smith is the consensus first overall pick. Phooey, bah humbug, and we’ll check back in 2010 to see how the draft really went.

I do have a draft wish, though, that supercedes all others. I want Luke Hochevar to fall to the ninth spot. I’d like the Giants to draft him, and for him to rocket up to the majors. I’d love for him to be an All-Star many times over, and I’d love for him to have a .824 winning percentage against the Dodgers for his career. Hochevar was a Dodgers’ first-rounder last year, but they were unable to reach a deal. Any success in a Giants uniform would annoy the bejeebus out of Dodger fans, and that’s pretty much always a credible goal.
-Grant

Damn those Royals taking Hochevar #1 so he wasn’t available to us! Damn that weak 2006 draft class the one time we got a Top 10 pick! If only we ended up with someone good…..

Well, it’s 2010, time to look back at that draft pick….

I love hindsight. :)
