According to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat (and the SF Chronicle) Bochy is considering moving Bonds to third in the batting order during the regular season.   He'll stay in the three-hole for the remainder of the spring as well.

Reading this paragraph in the PD:

"Bochy said his tentative plan is use Dave Roberts and Omar Vizquel in the top two spots, followed by Bonds. Ray Durham would hit cleanup, followed by Rich Aurilia and Pedro Feliz in either order."

...would give us a lineup of:

Roberts
Vizquel
Bonds
Durham
Aurilia-Klesko/Feliz
Aurilia-Klesko/Feliz
Molina
Winn (since Bochy already indicated that Molina is too slow to bat 8th)
P

Any thoughts on this lineup?   Bonds batting sooner is a good thing, but although I like Durham, I wish we had someone stronger batting cleanup.   ...And I don't know if I can stomach the thought of Feliz possibly batting fifth.

I found this article at the Oakland Tribune.   (I hope the linky works)

Anyway, I'm sick of Benitez.

Wasn't it this blog where "Special Agent Taschner" was born?  (Or was that Lefty's blog?)

I found this in the Oakland Tribune:

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Jack Taschner's mother was surfing the Internet one day last summer when she stumbled on a Giants fan blog. A few of the diehards, deciding his name sounded like a character from a Tom Clancy novel, nicknamed the relief pitcher Special Agent Jack Taschner.

The bloggers weren't far off. At this time last spring, Taschner was pondering a career as a police detective.
