Now we know...the rest of the story. Sometimes it takes getting traded or released for a prospect to gain the perspective and attitude adjustment necessary to succeed. Good for Conor, I always liked him as a prospect but he was blocked with The G-men as long as Sandoval was there.

Ex-Giant Conor Gillaspie Finding Success with White Sox:
The White Sox were able to tap into his talent in ways the Giants could not during his six years in their system.
Gillaspie, 26, admitted this week that his immaturity held him back in San Francisco. He was a supplemental first-round pick in 2008 who got a September call-up that year and rubbed his teammates the wrong way with a misplaced sense of entitlement.
Gillaspie said he forced himself into an attitude adjustment after the trade that helped him on and off the field. He also credited the added maturity of having a child.
"After I was traded here I decided I was going to keep quiet and just listen to people so I could create a different perception of myself," Gillaspie said. "I also told myself that I don't have to be a superstar. I just have to do what I'm capable of."'via Blog this'
