Hello Minor League Baseball Fans,

I'll be going to see the little Giants play the Visalia Rawhides this upcoming weekend. This is probably my own ignorance, but I no longer recognize most of the names on the roster and would like to know who the big names are in this line-up.  I see that Casilla is on the big Giant's 40 roster and I vaguely recall that Brown was a name during Spring Training, but I could be making that last bit up.

Just a quick question: who should I watch with the most attention?

Thanks for the help!

Hello all,

I e-mailed Comcast SportsNet Bay Area to see what their Spring Training schedule was going to be. The response is below. I know that it is only January, but I can not wait to see the boys again.

"Our schedule hasn't been officially released, but we're looking at televising:

3/7 vs Texas at 6pm
3/12 vs LA Dodgers at 12pm
3/29 @ Oakland at 7pm

Still subject to change."

Now we can all plan our weekends in March.


Saturday, March 6
vs. Arizona (Spring Training)

Sunday, March 7
vs. Kansas City (Spring Training)

Saturday, March 13

Hello everyone. 

With all of the talk about the Giants territorial rights to the South Bay, I was wondering what that exactly meant. A quick use of google shows me stuff about TV blackouts, but other rights or restrictions apply? Besides not building a park in San Jose, what else can the A's not do there?

Can they not advertise? Sell T-shirts? Pour drinks at a downtown bar?

Can someone clue me in, please?

Thanks!

Okay...I understand that no one predicts us to be a home run happy club this year. I also understand that this is only Spring Training and that many of the opposing pitchers are either minor leaguers or major leaguers trying to find their groove. I also understand that this is still really early in Spring Training.

But with that said, doesn't it seem like we're hitting a whole bunch of homers?

Two questions:

One, will this carry over into the real season?

Two, can anyone tell me how the other teams' home run records look like right now?

Thanks all!

I got this from the promotions guy at KNBR. He says that the site will be updated soon.

In the meanwhile, I apologize for the poor formatting.

2009 KNBR-GIANTS SPRING TRAINING SCHEDULE

                   UPDATED FEB 4


   ALL TIMES PACIFIC TIME
           Note Daylight Savings time on March 8

So...I understand that Barry Zito has invited Brian Wilson to spend the Winter break together. This is so odd: Zito is a Zen-practicing surfer who throws weak stuff that gets turned into game-winning hits and Wilson is a tattooed hulk of intensity who throws hard stuff that turns into a stomach-churning save.

Does anyone know more about this odd couple?

How it is that they decided to do this?

How it's turning out?

Will Zito turn into a Wilson-esque hulk or will Wilson turn also to Zen and softball?
