sfgiantsflgators Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Exactly, didn't he play nearly every position except CF and 1B this year, and with the season Durham had, I'd be inclined to let him take over 2B full time. When he started getting regular playing time his offense picked up dramatically. Personally, with Frandsen as the future for 2B, I find it hard to come to grips with the fact that Sabean resigned Durham for 2 years at the start of 07. Yep, everything but first and center (and catcher/pitcher). He struggled in July/Aug as they were being so flippant with him; but he had an amazing September, hitting .370 in more at bats than he saw in any other month. To be fair to Sabean, Durham had a fantasic season in '06, so it's hard to debate a short deal. But it also doesn't take a lot of brainpower to know it's time to move away from Durham and start Frandsen. Worst case, Frandsen plays like Durham this season and you still need a second baseman. Most probable case, you discover your second baseman for the forseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 June 1, 2008 Giants Prepping Villalona for First SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Francisco Giants top prospect, Angel Villalona, has begun the transition to first base, accoring to team officials in an interview earlier today. Villalona, 17, was signed by the Giants out of the Domincan Republic in 2006. The teenage slugger received a $2.1 million signing bonus from San Francisco and is widely considered their best position player prospect in over a decade. The right-hander has been compared to Miguel Cabrera and Adrian Beltre. One of his greatest weaknesses, however, is that he appears to be growing out of his third base position. At 6'2", 220 pounds, the 17-year old will more than likely continue to grow for at least three more years. If that happens, he will be better suited for first base, which is what the Giants are be- ginning to think as well. Villalona has begun taking grounders at first and could start there as early as tomorrow night. The Giants have continually stressed that he will be moved through the system slowly, probably reaching Double-A Connecticut at the most this season. Since joining Single-A San Jose out of extended spring training earlier this season, Villalona is hitting .276 with four home runs and 21 RBI.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 June 1, 2008 Misch Does It All Enroute to Win Number Eight Rookie comes one out short of complete game Pat Misch continued his early season dominance tonight, picking up his eighth victory after eight and two-thirds solid innings of work. The rookie left-hander allowed just two runs on six hits in the contest, with the second run coming with two outs in the ninth. Misch also added a two-for-three performance from the plate, doubling in his seventh RBI of the sea- son in the third inning. The double was his third of the year. Kevin Frandsen added his 17th home run of the season to plate the first run of the contest. Brian Wil- son got Jimmy Rollins to fly out to end the game, picking up his 14th save.

The Phillies built their early lead off Matt Cain, who has now allowed 13 runs over his last 12 innings, dating back to the complete game he lost 1-0 at Coors Field on May 23. The first four Phillies runs came in the first inning after Cain loaded the bases with two walks and an infield single. Shane Victorino then cleared the bases with a grand slam before an out was recorded. The Phillies added two more in the fourth to give Scott Mathieson a comfortable advantage. San Francisco started their rally in the sixth, plating three runs on an RBI single from Randy Winn and a two-RBI double by Nate Schierholtz. After scoring another in the seventh, the Giants took their only lead of the game with a four-run eighth, capped off with a bases clearing double from Brandon Wood. Brian Wilson allowed one baserunner in the ninth, but shut the door on the Phillies to pick up his 15th save. Nate Schierholtz collected two doubles and Kevin Frandsen drove in his 46th run of the season for San Francisco.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 June 3, 2008 Tenth-Inning Blast Ends Giants Win Streak Lincecum stellar again in another no-decision Tim Lincecum continues to pitch well despite his lack of run support, as Conor Jackson can contest after his strikeout in the first inning. Stephen Drew took advantage of Linecum's only mistake tonight, blasting the pitch over the right field wall to give Arizona a 1-0 lead in the eighth. Bengie Molina sacrifices Randy Winn to second in the bottom of the eighth. After a single from Nate Schier- holtz, Winn scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly from pinch-hitter Rich Aurilia. Randy Messenger pitched a scoreless ninth, but surrendered a home run to Mark Reynolds to lead off the tenth on his way to his second loss of the season. The Giants bench reacts to the loss, ending their five-game win streak.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 June 4, 2008 Giants Rally Late to Tame Snakes Wilson bends, but doesn't break for 16th save The Arizona Diamondbacks took a 3-0 lead through six-and-a-half innings against Barry Zito, but the Giants offense opened up for five runs over their final two innings to take the second game of a three- game set, 5-4. Orlando Hudson drove in two runs in the contest for Arizona, the first on a solo shot in the third and the second with an RBI double in the seventh. The Giants tied the contest with a three-run seventh, capped off with a two-RBI single from Omar Viz- quel. They added two more in the eighth on an RBI groundout from Guillermo Rodriguez and an RBI single from Nate Schierholtz. They would need both of those runs as closer Brian Wilson struggled in the ninth, surrendering a run on a single from Chris Young before finally closing the door for his 16th save. Scoring T2: Drew single scores Reynolds T3: Hudson solo HR T7: Hudson double scores Drew B7: Lewis grounds out to second, Winn scores; Vizquel single scores Schierholtz, Velez B8: Rodriguez grounds out to second, Frandsen scores; Schierholtz single scores Winn T9: Young single scores Erstad W – Hennessey (5-3) L – Owings (3-6) S - Wilson (16) Player of the Game: Omar Vizquel 1-3, 2 RBI June 4, 2008 Boxscore June 5, 2008 San Francisco Cruises to Series Win with 10-3 Victory Frandsen's monster day leads the Giants Kevin Frandsen continued his torrid offensive pace tonight, going three-for-four with a double, two home runs and five RBI as the Giants took the three-game series with a 10-3 victory. Another Kevin, Correia, had a solid game as well, allowing just two runs on six hits over seven innings. He improved to 4-5 with the win. But the story was Frandsen, who's five RBI pushed his season total to 51. He is now just one home run shy of 20 on the season. San Francisco's 2-3-4-5 hitters all collected multi-hit games. Every Giants starter is now hitting over .250 on the season - none are over .300.

sfgiantsflgators Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Misch is amazing this year! Wow, you should've gave him Zito's money. Yeah, he's been stellar. Obviously he's gone above and beyond all my expectations. Contract wise, he's a rookie, so luckily we won't have to worry about paying him any sort of "real" monies for awhile. He'll make near league minimum through 2009, then he's arbitration eligible starting in 2010. So, with Cain already locked up through 2011 at the cheap, and Lincecum still a few years from arbitration, our rotation is going to be solid for a long time. Now, if we could find a bat...
