CONOR GILLASPIE RUMORS

Prospect Question: Does Profile Matter?

So I have started working on my Giants top prospect list, and while doing so I have had a hard time ranking two third base prospects, Conor Gillaspie and Chris Dominguez. On my rough list I have Gillaspie at 13 and Dominguez at 15, but I am wondering if I have one or both too high, and which one should be ranked as the better prospect. Some background on these prospects: Conor Gillaspie...

Conor Gillaspie's Silly Inside-the-Parker

On Tuesday, Conor Gillaspie helped provide some run support for Madison Bumgarner in the Giants 7-0 win by hitting the first home run of his career. But this wasn't just any old home run. It was an inside-the-park homer, in fact. And, if you hang around long enough to watch Gillaspie [try to] round third base, you'll see that it was the most rookie home run of all time. Needless...

Giants Rookie Conor Gillaspie Had A Very Rookie Inside-The-Park Homer Last Night (Video)

There are two things that make this—Conor Gillaspie's first major league home run—a very rookie home run: 1. The stumble and trip as he is waved home ( "Honestly, I was pretty embarrassed," he said after the game. "I didn't want to get up"); and 2. The fact that once he had made it home and set all of AT&T Park into a frenzy and seen his teammates swarming to high-five him...

3rd Base Options for the Giants

The rumor de jour is that Aubrey Huff may be needing a new glove as the Giants are looking to find a way to fix what has deteriorated quickly into an awful left side of the infield. As crazy as this sounds it probably isn't that bad of an idea. With Pablo Sandoval still 3 weeks or more away from coming back the options of Mark DeRosa and Miguel Tejada are not getting it done...
