GEORGE KONTOS RUMORS
How Tommy John Surgery Helped George Kontos
Tommy John surgery might have been the best thing that could have happened to George Kontos. In 2009, the Giants’ right-hander was in Triple-A for the first time, and he had the kind of stuff that would make him a big leaguer in somebody’s bullpen: A 92-mph fastball and a wipeout slider that usually produced more than a strikeout per inning. That isn’t to say that he didnâ...

SF Giants Rumors: George Kontos
With the Super Bowl coming up, there hasn’t been very much San Francisco Giants news. I’m sure you just keep hearing about all the office football pools and people talking about betting on sports. You can click here if that’s your cup of tea. However, I’m here to talk about Giants baseball. I was able to dig a little deep and find some Giants news for you.

SF Giants Rumors: Ichiro, Wilson, Gaudin, Durbin and Kontos
Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News says (via Twitter) Â his source tells him that Ichiro Suzuki had a two-year, $15 million offer from a team believed to be the San Francisco Giants. However, Ichiro is willing to take less (two-years, $13 million) to stay with the Yankees.

The Giants do not appear to be any closer to signing Brian Wilson says Henry Schulman of the San Francisco...
Champions. Again.
Awesome. But not amazing.
This team did crazy things. It won tough game after tough game, and then they cruised. And then, one last tough game.
But it was not amazing. Not to the Giants fans who followed this team this year.
The team was built for productivity, not glamour. Nearly every single one of Brian Sabean’s moves paid off in one way or another, from Scutaro to...
Disgusting
Can we blame either Sabean or Bochy for this showing?
These guys are a team that can win.  We know that, or else they wouldn’t be in the playoffs.  I’ll be the first to admit that they were playing over their heads the last few weeks in September, but they are a very good team.  Not perfect, but very good.
But this weekend they played like crap. Â Pretty close to everyone...
Bullpen issues plague the Giants
Scutaro completes yet another comeback.
We know how to come back from behind, that's for sure. This team, like 2010, seems to never say die, and always seems to get it done in the late innings. Lord, do we appreciate that, but how about sometimes we just don't fall behind to begin with?
Our pitching ain't what it was, that's for damn sure. We got spoiled with our...
On Clay Hensley’s Splits and George Kontos’ Chances to Stick Around
Last night during the game, Jon Miller and Duane Kuiper were talking about Clay Hensley‘s season. Specifically, they were talking about the fact that Hensley to this point has been better against left-handed hitters than right-handed hitters. Looking over Hensley’s career, he actually has been slightly better against southpaws than righties. Which means that in the Giants bullpen...
Yankees trade Kontos for Stewart and send Cervelli to AAA
In a flurry of moves this afternoon, the Yankees made a few that don’t make a whole lot of sense.
It appears that Austin Romine will start the season on the DL with his back injury and the Yankees needed another catcher. So what they did was they traded George Kontos to the San Francisco Giants for backup catcher Chris Stewart, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle...

Yankees option Phelps, Mitchell, Kontos, and Laird to the minors
The Yankees first round of spring training cuts was a much larger group, but the four they cut today are much more significant.
Pitchers David Phelps, D.J. Mitchell, and George Kontos were optioned to Triple-A along with infielder Brandon Laird, according to Chad Jennings of the Journal News.
All four of those guys were fighting for a spot on the major league roster, although...
