By Kevin O'Brien Going into Spring Training this season, he wasn't deemed worthy to compete with Emmanuel Burriss and Kevin Frandsen for the open second base position. With Frandsen, Burriss, Juan Uribe and Matt Downs all competing for the second base job, and the outfield already crowded with Fred Lewi...

By Andrew Nuschler Randy Winn, Freddie Lewis, and Bengie Molina continue to swing a nice stick although only Randy and Fab Five Freddie emerged from Saint Diego with anything to show for it.  Emanuel Burriss got his first knocks of the year, but Aaron Rowand and Pablo Sandoval rocked a combined 2-19 (Rowand d...

By obsessivegiantscompulsive(noreply@blogger.com) I would say that right now, the Giants lineup is shaping up nicely.  It is not done by any means, but we have hitters who should be around the average for the NL at most lineup spots:  Winn, Renteria, Lewis, Rowand, Ishikawa, and Burriss/Frandsen/Velez should all be able to match or slightly...

By Grant So let’s all look back to August 14th, 2008: The Day of Magic. Jose Castillo was gone. Travis Ishikawa was up. It doesn’t sound like much, but after said Day of Magic: Emmanuel Burriss hit .366/.458/.437. Pablo Sandoval hit .345/.357/.490. Travis Ishikawa hit .274/.337/.432 (not great, but stay with me...
