Giants youth update

In Giants draft news:
Buster Posey drove in 3 runs on 2 hits, going 2 for 5. While his opponent, and (hopefully) his pro teammate, Conor Gillaspie went 2 for 4 and scored a run. Sabean, I know you're paying attention. Now you need to pay up.

In regular Giants news:
Jonathan Sanchez keeps his winning streak alive by giving up 0 runs against the Nationals - sorry transplanted Bay Area friends now residing in the District and rooting for their new team. John Bowker - the same one who hit home runs in back-to-back games to kick-start his major league career hit a grand salami to put the game out of reach. On a side: I wish he weren't playing first base. He's doing fine, but he came in as a right-fielder. I mean, you can't get rid of Winn yet. He's a great team player, but hopefully he'll continue to hit around .300 and get traded for more young talent. I can't help but think his (Bowker) struggles at the plate, although he is doing ably at around .250, coincide with learning a completely different position. And a very important one at that.

The Giants have won two in a row. But they have their $126 million dollar pitcher on the mound tomorrow. Extremely dicey; Zito is throwing better since his "time" in the bullpen but he's giving up an avg or over 5 1/2 runs per 9 innings.
