San Francisco Giants

By Grant And while Garko was a small sample size disaster after coming over, he still represents the best first baseman on the roster. As a right-handed guy with limited defensive skills, it'd be nice to have a lefty-swinging slick fielding complement to Garko. Like, oh, Travis Ishikawa. So there it...

By yoursfgiants Instead, it turns out, Meulens' weeklong hitting clinic began this morning with one-on-one conversations with each player - Bowker and Schierholtz, plus Travis Ishikawa and minor-leaguer Brett Pill, who had already left by the time I arrived around 11:30.

By Kevin O'Brien Mark Sweeney? Meh. Travis Ishikawa, Ryan Garko and Jesus Guzman. It will be interesting to see what manager Bruce Bochy and Sabean do concerning the position. One popular sentiment seems to be sticking Pablo Sandoval at first and making Juan Uribe the starting third baseman.

By Evan Aczon Ryan Garko is not doing so much for me. I like the guy, and I bet he's a great friend to have, but he did not produce for the Giants. Travis Ishikawa is easily the best defensive first-baseman in the National League, and didn't put up shabby numbers (actually pretty much parallel to Garko on the I...

By Azreous San Francisco Giants 1B Travis Ishikawa is unsure if his run counts, since it's against the Diamondbacks. The home plate umpire nodded his head sadly, and the game continued on. God-Emperor of Suck: Kevin Mulvey, -17.2% Dishonorable Mention: Ryan Roberts, -15.1%; Justin Upton, -11.3%

By Chris After the last soul-crushing defeat, the Giants needed this game. Matt Cain chipped in 7 innings of 2 run baseball and Travis Ishikawa belted a 3-run HR in the 8th inning to break a 2-2 tie. Something that I’ve noticed about Cain this year is that his K/9 has dropped by almost 1 full strikeout [...]

By Simon Balin Shinjo was a San Francisco outfielder who was great with the glove like current Giant Travis Ishikawa is great with the glove, but luckily for current Giants fans, Ishikawa can hit too (something that Shinjo had a few problems with). Where 's Frandsen?

By E.L.M. Giants 8, Braves 2: Travis Ishikawa had the game of his life today, and the question is whether it's a sign of things to come -- of a young talented player making adjustments and feeling more comfortable -- or a day of false hope. We might not know for a couple years. Ishikawa has nice parts to his...

By E.L.M. The first reaction is all about 2011 and 2012. Just like the addition of Pablo Sandoval and Travis Ishikawa has done nothing to recharge this offense, no one coming up the ladder will make this lineup appreciably better in 2010. Cabrera is a first baseman working his way toward DH.

By Giantfan9(noreply@blogger.com) The Giants faced the A's today. So it being a Spring Training game.......naturally the Giants lost. The Giants looked like they were fielding a split squad or even a "B" team. Kevin Frandsen and Travis Ishikawa were the only players who are competing for starting jobs who played in the game. Steve Holm...

By noreply@blogger.com (obsessivegiantscompulsive) Travis Ishikawa (1B, SF) put on a power display in San Francisco's spring opener, as he hit two homers in a 3-3 performance. Ishikawa opened some eyes in the second half last season as he blasted 13 home runs, including three in 95 AB after being called up to San Francisco, and posted a 189 2nd h...

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...
