Posey & Gillaspie

Buster and Conor. Get used to these names. If Brian Sabean, the general manager for the SF Giants, has any sense, he'll make sure they sign. Get them in the Giants system as soon as possible - please. Watching Gillaspie's sweet line drive swing is just inspiring. He's the 2007 Cape Cod league MVP - they play with wooden bats, in case you're worried about metal-bat avg's. And then there's Buster. Oh, my goodness. This kid just ripped a low change up over the scoreboard. Amazing! He's batting over .450 with 25 hr on a SEC team.

I am so excited. The Giants need some legit minor league talent that can make it big, well, in the bigs. In my mind, if the Giants sign these two, they both can make a huge impact.

Gillaspie at 3rd. Aurilia, I love ya for what you've done and how you've played over the years, but you're not as good as you used to be, and you mostly play first. And Castillo, I appreciate you filling in so ably at the bag, but you're so inconsistent at the plate - you have about 20 doubles, but rarely get one when we need it. Conor looks like he'll constantly put a good swing on the ball, taking what he can get - instead of swinging for the fences.

Buster at catcher. I feel a little bad for Steve Holm, the backup catcher. He's come in the clutch and backed up Benjie really well. But Posey is just so much better - with so much more potential. In a year or two, when Molina isn't as "money", we'll need someone who can hit like he does now, but can score from 2nd. Heck, Buster played all 9 positions the other day. Put him somewhere, anywhere. Just get him on the field. Oh, and in his play-every-position-possible game, he hit a grand-slam. Boy, could the Giants use that.

I can't wait for their signing. Oh, and have you seen the hat Buster's sister is wearing? That's right, the black and orange. Go Giants!!!
