Giants Lineup
Give you something to do this morning, talk about Posey, Giants first baseman of the future!
Ventura/Oxnard
Anyone have a tip on a Giants friendly bar in this area? I'll be down there for the 9th (ring ceremony) and would like to still see it without dealing with Dodger fans stabbing me.
Cody Ross Signs for $6.3M
"@Ken_Rosenthal: Cody Ross signs with #Giants for $6.3M, avoiding arb." Actual news!
Pitchers and Catchers Report 2/14
Gs usually report to camp the first legal day. This year it'll be the second day (Feb. 14). Guess pitchers need extra rest after Series.
Is it February 14th yet?
Adam Witter: Where have you gone?
My girlfriend's hometown team, the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, is where our old prospect Adam Witter is playing. I wasn't even aware he was out of the system, I was always hoping he could replace Whiteside as the organization's backup catcher of choice.
Alex Pavlovic Note...
— Props to whoever in the organization decided to use this guy to pump up the crowd before the ninth. This guy being http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPPj6viIBmU that guy. Did they actually put the Star Wars Kid on the screen at AT&T today?
Tim Lincecum: The Difference
I'd like to see some of the more Pitch F/X oriented people take a stab at this, but I was just going through some of Tim Lincecum's Pitch F/X results from the past few years and have a few observations on things that are happening and why he may be having some more difficulties this year.
Extra Bags Tweet
"Manager Bruce Bochy called Freddy Sanchez today & told him the team expects him to begin minor league rehab assgt. within a week." Emphasis added. I kind of get the feeling the Giants are getting frustrated with Sanchez. I'd expect that Sanchez would come out hoping to be in a game before the Giants come out with the expectation that he will be in a game by such and such a date.
MCC Pets
It's been at least a little bit since we had a pet thread, post your pets.
I got a kitten since the last pet thread, and just wanted to share his...strange antics.
His name is Avocado and he's about 7 months or so now. And yes, he'll just lay like that on that little play structure he has.
Post your pets!

Adopt A Giant 2010: II (sfoakbay, Ramah71, ACgiant97)
EDIT: YES THREE PEOPLE CAN DRAFT AT ONCE
And now we begin. Let's go over how this is going to work. Below is the draft order, I'll be letting three people draft at a time (for the first, I'll let Lars pick his first pick first and then I'll put Goofus and myself up. If you can figure out that you should be drafting, then you can draft. But every so often I'll be updating the title of the FanPost with the names of the people who are up to the plate.
WHO YOU CAN DRAFT
Anyone related to the Giants organization. Here is the 40-man Roster. Here is the Non Roster Invitee list. Here are the coaches and trainers. Here are the Front Office people. Here is the broadcasting team. Here is SF Dugout's community prospect list (more comprehensive than our own). They are not limited to these resources, perhaps there's a career minor leaguer you want to draft, and that's fine. For you, at least. We already knew you were strange.
WHO YOU CAN'T DRAFT
WHAT IF I DIDN'T SIGN UP?
If you didn't catch the earlier threads then you can still draft, you'll be at the bottom, but you still are eligible to draft. Also, after the draft is over, if anyone just wants to pick a still available player, that's fine.

Adopt A Giant 2010: Second Edition
Here is what's shaping up so far. Perhaps I didn't make it entirely clear in the last thread, but please claim your past adopted Giant in the thread and announce your intentions for the upcoming draft. So far we have the following players claimed by their past parents.....

Giants Jottings
Do we know why the site is no longer updated? It was always a great source for Spring Training news.
Adopt A Giant 2010
It's coming around to that time of year again, and with the return of Spring Training I suppose we can start this up again. In this thread, I want to get a read from people who had Giants last year if they want to keep them or not. So, if you want to keep your Giant, please reply in this thread.
I'll give people through the end of the week to figure out if they want t keep their Giants and I'll make an untouchable draftees list. Then we can start going through the draft process, hopefully getting through it all before the season starts. Sunday morning I think I'll have time to put together the draft order, and then we can start drafting.
Last draft board after the jump, please reply to this FanPost if you want to keep them.

Post-Game Chit Chat Place
I only watched the last two innings after getting home from work, but seemed to have been a nice game. Criticism to the players who deserve criticism. Congratulations to the players who deserve congratulations. Oh and apparently Nate Schierholtz hit an inside the park home run, so he won't play again for a few weeks.
And man, I am glad Matt Cain figured out how to win.
Kenshin Update: wow... a CG, 9K, 0 walk performance by Cain. Is this the best start of his career to date?
Open Gameday Thread 6/12 Part II
This is a picture of the Giants offense. Don't worry, it's in there somewhere.

Renteria
Schierholtz
Molina
Sandoval
Lewis
Uribe
Burriss
Also he says that Ishikawa is back with the team but no one has been sent down as of yet.
