Finding keepers: Milwaukee Brewers

Via Full Spectrum Baseball  |  March 06, 2012
The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to have a good team in 2012, which means that finding keepers on their team may be a bit more difficult, as players tend to be overvalued on winning teams. That said, there are still some players who may be under-the-radar for the Brew Crew. 1B Mat Gamel finally gets his shot at a starting role with the departure of Prince Fielder. Gamel has spent...

Player projections: catcher

Via Seed Spitters  |  March 07, 2012
The Giants have had some pretty unique catchers in the past. I remember as a kid the Giants catchers have been my favorite position to watch because of their heart, leadership and toughness. With several gold glove winners, typically batting .220, yet grittier than grits, Mike Matheny, Benito Santiago, A. J. Pierzynski and the big round Bengie Molina (his B-R page reads 190 pounds...

Giants 11, Diamondbacks 1

Via 22gigantes  |  March 04, 2012
One of the main reasons Major League Baseball holds spring training in Arizona and Florida is because of the sunny weather. Very rarely are there rain storms in the Arizona desert this time of year, which makes for a perfectly-uninterrupted exhibition season. Almost. Nobody accounted for an “insect delay.” With the Arizona Diamondbacks-San Francisco Giants Cactus League game...

Via The Sports Lion  |  March 05, 2012
A group of bees settled in the San Francisco Giants’ dugout at the Arizona Diamondbacks’ training facility during Sunday’s preseason matchup between the two teams. So what did the grounds crew do about it? They took concession stand lemonade and cotton candy, smeared it on some golf carts, and used that to get the large volume of bees away. The bees delayed the game 41 minutes...

Uncertainty is the name of the game

Via The Dodgerhater  |  March 07, 2012
When your fellow Giants fans ask you, 'Are you excited for the season??!!', your automatic response is 'Yeah! Can't wait!'.Mine is the same. Of course I can't wait. It's the Giants, it's BASEBALL for God's sake. How could one not be excited? I mean, you'd have to be some kind of Communist foreigner not to be excited about the 2012 season. Beyond...
