Notes: Pablo Sandoval's Weight Loss, Freddy Sanchez

Freddy Sanchez should be ready by opening day, writes John Shea of the San Francsico Chronicle. Bay City Ball took a look at the WAR produced by first-round Giants pitchers, and I must say, the 2000s have been quite a decade for Giants' home-grown pitching. Pablo Sandoval continues to lose weight, as evidenced by his new Twitter picture. 24 Days of Magic did a Q&A with Grant of McCovey Chronicles, which I highly recommend. Apparently, CelebStoner.com named Tim Lincecum the #1 celebrity stoner. (h/t Notgraphs) I linked to these in my reaction to Jeff Passan, but I'd like to re-post them, for more to see: the reactions of Paapfly and Crazy Crabbers, both of which are interesting and unique perspectives.
