Comcast SportsNet, part of the NBC Sports Group and the online and on-air home of "Authentic Bay Area Sports," today announced that former San Jose Mercury News reporter Andrew Baggarly has joined the network. In his new role as "Giants Insider," Baggarly will provide coverage across the network’s growing list of multiplatform outlets including CSNBayArea.com’s GiantsTalk page, and for SportsNet Central, Chronicle Live, Giants Pregame Live and Giants Postgame Live.

Baggs is an absolute must w/my morning coffee, so I'll follow him pretty much anywhere. I'll miss the quick/dirty Mercury News website.
