Posey Running Away With "Catcher of the Decade" Poll
Our boy is trouncing Mauer in Rob Neyer's poll that's attached to his Catcher of the Decade article. For what it's worth, he went Mauer, McCann, Posey.
Lowell Cohn should think about hanging it up.
If you can make it through this dog, I think you'll agree that it's terrible.
Giants interested in Andrew Miller
Interesting. AAA depth? Having two talented lefties in Runzler and Miller could bode well for our short-term success, and bolsters our tradeable commodities.
McCovey Chronicles Meetup: The Debrief

I just wanted to take a moment to say how rad it was to meet some of you in person last night. Anyone who hasn't attended one of these events should make plans to do so. Sure, it was a little awkward at first, but Goofus made me feel right at home.
And just for the record, WillieMaysHayes and I tried to attend the 5th inning meetup at the Coors Light booth, but the facist, classist, good-looking manist security guard wouldn't let us through, due to our tickets being in the view level. I tried flirting with her to see if that would help, but apparently pulling your junk out in public is frowned upon by some people. Hope ya'all had a few for us.
See you at the next one!
David Aardsma Fail
Someone needs to explain cell phones and the internet to Mr. Aardsma.
"I have an in with Jeff Moorehead (Moorad??), and Bengie Molina is not coming back"
Disclaimer: This was said by Gary Radnich. I realize no one, including me, gives a 5 what this guy says or thinks. But I did catch this quote on the way over the bridge this morning. Not surprising...although, I am worried that it means he IS coming back, since Gary is completely out of touch.
Joe Sheehan rips Bruce Bochy
"The Giants are going to miss the postseason by a small amount of wins. Bruce Bochy’s decision to bench Fred Lewis will be significant part of the gap between playing into October and not, and when you look back at the process, you can see that it’s an embarrassing display of incompetence. A good manager would have made use of Lewis’ skills, skills unique on the Giants’ roster. Instead, Bochy jerked the player around and then used bad performance analysis to bury him. The Giants and their fans deserve better than that kind of incompetence."
Very good article. Definitely worth the read.
I couldn't say it any better myself.
I love this site, but this post in particular is a pretty good summary of how I feel.
Rowand's defense improves?
Could someone more familiar with advanced statistics verify the claims made in this article?
Why AT&T sucks?
Ahhh, Deadspin....
What some former Giants are up to now...
I count at least 3 former Giants.
Rotoworld
Is there some reason Rotoworld is giving us updates on Andrew Bynum instead of John Bowker's chances of making the team?
Spring Training FAQ

Apologies in advance if this has been covered already. I am trying to book a spring training trip for my family. I was wondering if you guys had any insight into the best time to go. Also, we were hoping to stay in the same hotel that the Giants stay in...does anyone know what that might be? Any other tips and tricks that might help us have an awesome experience would be greatly appreciated as well!

Not great analysis, really, but two of our guys are mentioned extensively.
Bowker

I don't want to be a pessimist, but here's Bowker's line over the last month:
BA: .176
R: 4
RBI: 3
HR: 0
His OBP is currently .298, with a .403 SLG% and .707 OPS.
I want the kids to play as bad as anyone else, so can someone please give me a legitimate reason that he should continue to log significant innings at 1st base or RF this season? I know we don't have any other great prospects behind him, but it seems like they could throw Ishikawa a bone for the season he's having, or bring up Sandoval sooner than later (maybe not a great idea). I've had this conversation with people, and they always say "he'll figure it out". I would whole-heartedly agree if he were a blue chip prospect like Longoria or Alex Gordon. Hell, if he was Kevin Kouzmanoff! But I'm not sure his minor league track record suggests he'll turn it around. Thoughts?
