That kind of summation of a player sounds like something...
Things You Only Hear Baseball Fans Say In February: 2013 Edition
Everyone’s got a scrub or prospect or three they’re looking forward to seeing.

The other one is a pet prospect...

On the farm: Brown, Panik, Hembree updates
Between worrying about Tim Lincecum‘s performances, the recovery of a “heavier” Pablo Sandoval, the joys of watching Matt Cain pitch perfectly or Melky Cabrera move into third in the National League for starting outfielder in this summer’s All-Star game, I’ve decided to shed some light on the future of the Giants organization.

Panik, Susac among latest spring training cuts for Giants
See you again, dudes. Hopefully sooner than later.
Infielder Joe Panik and catcher Andrew Susac were among the four cuts made by the Giants today as they trimmed their roster down to 56 players.
Panik, 21, was the Giants’ first round draft pick (and 29th overall) last June. After tearing up the rookie league at Salem-Keizer (.341/.401/.467, 0.868 OPS, 6 HR, 54 RBI in 69 games)...

JJ Hardys don’t get released by two teams and then blossom into elit- sorry Brewers and Twins fans, got a bit off track there. Point is, there aren’t a lot of quality big league shortstops in the known universe. Few can combine an above average bat with crisp glove skills and enough...
