Still weird to see Matt Williams in a uniform other than the Giants. Even more weird that he's a manager!

GREAT play!

Fargas is the next Panik/Duffy/Tomlinson coming up. Dif with him is that he has +++ speed.

This really is the golden age for this org. Not only all the rings, but all the studs coming out of the system.

Not sure I see much of a difference between Fargas and Billy Hamilton. They both played at low A at age 20 and have very similar numbers. Hamilton's on base/slugging was .340/.360 with 103 stolen bases. Fargas sits at .349/.353 with 59 stolen bases. Hey, he probably will make the big leagues but considering Hamilton's numbers in the bigs, unless Fargas develops better, he may not be much more than a 4th or 5th outfield guy.

Petit has pitched 59 innings, but I feel like he's never out there.

He is basically a janitor, that's why.

That is one expensive janitor. I'm in the wrong profession.

Boy is my mlb feed slow. I just saw that hit. Yes he is.

So is Blanco.

Well, when you hang 3 sliders I think Posey would eventually hit one.

THAT's why Robinson doesn't play the field more often.

I can barely hear the game with the crazy concert going on down the street.

He's like a poor man's Mike Morse out there.... in the field.

Feel bad for Storen. Guy was pitching great for the Nationals and they demote him for Papelbon (not that Papelbon was any average pitcher). It seemed to have messed with his head a bit. Hasn't been the same since then.

Herk the only reg without a hit.

When you chase pitches like that, you aren't going to get any hits.

1-2-3-4

is 9-18 with 9 RBI and 8 runs scored

The slacker in the group is Posey.

Herk has not been right for a while now. He is like that though. Incredibly streaky. But he can single-handed lay carry this team for 2-weeks at a time, so it is quite OK.

Send him back to triple A!

Time to call up Trevor Brown.
