Doug, are we convinced Buster & Bob are just handing the 2b position to Fitzgerald, without some real competition from Wisely and, especially, Schmidt? Casey is both a superior fielder, and finished the year stronger at the plate than Fitz, who, as you already hinted, was regressing back to the high whiff rate we’ve seen at every level of the minors.
Doug! Thank you for this summary of the home run bonanza occurring in AZ. Its somewhat uncanny how the Giants continually make spring training for fans feel exactly like the deadest of dead hot stove months. Their near blackout of any coverage has left us paying customers with only Alex Pav's iphone videos and summaries from the likes of yourself. So happy to have you fill in all the blank space!
I prefer to think of every spring training homer as a wasteful indulgence, taking away from that player’s allotment of home runs for the year.
Fitzgerald will be back in a utility role in two months.
Good Vibes! I'm hep to it, Maestro!!

I am extremely unconvinced that this is a good idea, and that's definitely going to be something I write about this spring
