Giants Prospects du Jour



Panik and Susac running hot at AAA for the Giants.

Panik is currently blocked by Adrianza and Hicks, leaving aside the venerable Marco Scutaro at 2B.  But not for long if he hits .300 or better in AAA ball.

Susac may be blocked by Posey behind the dish, unless Panda eventually walks and there is a need for a guy with soft hands and a hard bat, who used to play some SS in college. Don't laugh, it may be in the disaster plan for the off-season. It looked like 1B might be an option for Mr. Posey, but Mr. Belt's offensive outbursts are putting a crimp in any of those plans. 

I guess you have to hope Mr. Morse has a disappointing year and leaves, but think of the young ladies of SF. Why they'd be heart-broken. 


I mean, who would they look to for hair grooming tips and inspiration?


Oh yeah, I forgot about Angel. You know his cap sure does come off a lot. You'd think they could size a cap a little better in the big leagues.


Oh dang, I forgot about Brandon Crawford too. Wonder what he uses to keep his hair looking so marvelous.

from Meet MeAt3rdandKing:
Dan Runzler: What hair product does Brandon Crawford use?


        

Apparently, it's a hot topic after a long, hard game. Not that there's anything wrong with that.....


Plus it hasn't hurt the numbers of one Joe Mauer.

No, that doesn't look like it hurts one little bit. Yeeeeeeaaaaahhh!!!

Really though, Lincecum and Sandoval on the all-hair team and not Morse or Pagan?

But this shit makes it? What the hell is going on in Washington D.C.

And Oakland???? This is what beat out Michael Morse. I mean who voted on this shit?

All of this hot-stove speculation is a long way off....but it's still fun. 

Plus it's the only way some of these young guys will get their shot. And apparently on this year's Giants squad, it helps to have luxurious hair. 

It's like the 6th tool for the modern Giant player looking to make the lineup and yes, eventually to score.
