Oh Optimism...

Obviously, it's impossible to draw any conclusions from any of this, but Sanchez is worth watching as someone who has at least some shot at making the team, perhaps as the second lefty out of the bullpen. He struck out two and walked one, although he did have a wild pitch and an HBP.

Roger (Washington DC) So what did you think about Belt's swing when you got a chance to see him this weekend? Klaw (2:00 PM) It's not good. Trying to get with Hensley Meulens to discuss it. (By the way, his voicemail starts, "Hi, this is Bam-Bam." How awesome is that?) Belt's got his hands way back and throws his front hip forward - and he didn't do all that crap in the fall league in 2010.

San Francisco Giants pitching prospect Clayton Blackburn has emerged as one of the most intriguing prospects in baseball this year. You will be hearing his name more often entering 2013, so let's take a look.

John Sickels on Clayton Blackburn -- a good read. I'm missing Tommy Joseph more with each Hunter Pence strikeout, but at least the Giants held on to Blackburn and Kyle Crick.

The Giants are looking for right-handed power. So I’m told they are not planning to express interest in Rick Ankiel, who was designated last week. Presumably, the Giants also wouldn’t be interested when and if the Colorado Rockies move Jason Giambi, who is also left-handed. But I like Giambi for the Giants. He’s a threat regardless. And plus, he’s been known to wear a thong.

EXTRA BAGGS: Schierholtz doesn't regret trade comments, etc.

Felt like looking it up after the ATL series, because it seems like we can never secure a sweep. Giants are 3-7 in the last game of a potential series sweep for them, plus a failed two-game sweep of Colorado. 2-3 in games that would prevent them from getting swept.

These were baseball scouts, you know, the kind with straw hats, stop watches, radar guns, and questionable wardrobes. All the relevant chapters were present: Texas, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Miami, San Francisco, the Dodgers and Angels. There were more than that, in fact.

Giants scouting Hamels? They probably signed a 31-year-old guy named Zach Wheeler, and they're hoping the Phillies don't pay attention.
