Aubrey Huff rejoined the San Francisco Giants after being placed on the 15-day disabled list for anxiety disorder.

Huff released the following statement toCSNBayArea.com:

“Thank you to the fans, media and Giants organization for the outpouring of support during this very difficult week. I’m especially grateful for the texts and calls from my teammates, who are like my brothers and have let me know they’re here for me.

My goal is to get back on the field as soon as possible. To do that, I have to focus completely on getting well. I know I’m in a public job, and I’ve been one of the more open guys. But sometimes you have to pull back and work on things in private. This is one of those times.

I appreciate your understanding and patience.”

If you haven’t been to AT&T Park yet, prepare to be bombarded.  I appreciate that the team needs money to pay Cain, Lincecum and all the others, but wow, they really sold everything but the kitchen sinks.  I’m going to miss some of the basball-related quotes that used to be painted on the walls of the park, now covered by billboards.

Fine, indeed. Pagan’s...
