Toss this man a uniform and slip that glove on. Then send Garko back.
He's still got it with the bat, I know it.

Is it just me or does Bochy naturally answers the questions before the questions are done?

Can someone fill me in as to why this is "an emotional day for the San Francisco Giants family," as JT Snow put it.

TimmyHits-4 K's-15 nice start to the homstand
Lincecum (11-3), the All-Star starter for the National League earlier this month, dazzled on a night the Giants paid tribute to late owner Sue Burns, who died July 19 of complications from lung cancer only nine days after being diagnosed.
Garko was arguably the Indians' hottest hitter of late, hitting .349 since June 26.
[h3]UPDATE: Giants scout Willingham, Johnson[/h3]
Josh Willingham | Nationals | Interested: Phillies?
The Giants took a look at a pair of Nats this weekend in Josh Willingham and Nick Johnson, according to Jon Heyman. Not a biggy -- the Giants are scouting numerous hitters -- but these are two of the better ones. Last week we noted that, according to PhillyBaseballNews.com, the Phillies have showed interest in Willingham.
Johnson is prolly out since we got Garko.

Gark isn't a slugging first baseman, but he's a line-drive hitter and still finds a way to drive in runs. He doesn't strike out much; he isn't afraid to cut down his swing with two strikes. He's a lot like Sandoval, in the sense that he isn't really a power hitter, but because of his size and the fact that he puts good swings on the ball, he can drive it. He gets a lot of hits up the middle because he rarely tries to do more than he needs to at the plate.
Defensively, he's not going to make any Gold Glove plays, but he makes the plays he should. He's easily one of the slowest players in baseball, though; he'll fit right in with Molina and Sandoval.
The Giants acquired a class act and a solid ballplayer. He's a California boy, too; get ready to hear all about his love for the Lakers.
I have to admit, I'm shocked we got the Giants' 9th best prospect in return; I would have guessed a 25-year old A-baller or something.

I highly doubt it. The kid is still 19 and I don't think they would rush him.Originally Posted by CurtisCarter23
Giants fans... Any news on whether Bumgarner will be coming up anytime this season? Hes on my keeper fantasy league and ive been hearing nothing but great news on him. Im a big time cubs fan (born and bred chicago), but the giants are easily becoming my second favorite team in baseball. Lincecum, Cain, Bumgarner... very scary future!
like Posey they're not gonna rush them to the big leaguesOriginally Posted by CurtisCarter23

Scott Barnes may develop into a major-league pitcher, but few had even heard his name beyond the followers of the San Jose Giants. This was exactly the kind of trade Sabean needed to engineer, protecting the club's top prospects while bringing in a proven hitter who will be under the club's control through next season. Ryan Garko is a clear upgrade over Travis Ishikawa, and this deal will be a winner as soon as Garko delivers his first two-out, run-scoring hit.
