I'm also a Giants fan. How the hell do I shake this guy!? At least the Pirates had the foresight to sign him to a Minor League contract.

Colón and Tejada should also get a look at second, but I expect the starter on opening day to be Getz or Gio.

Shields is going for a park which suppresses velocity to one which exagerates it. Quote: In terms of practical applications of knowing these effects, I can think of two interesting cases to watch in 2013. The first would be the case of James Shields, who will be shifting from a Tampa Bay home park that deflated four-seam fastball velocities of RHP by -0.16 MPH to a Kansas City park that inflated those types of pitches by 0.75 MPH.
He also ranks Sal Perez as the 6th best catcher in baseball. HATER!

Sorry, delete this if it's too political or whatever. But this does not seem to be a joke, or at least not an intentional one. I guess all Yost's hunting and outfielders "gunning down" base runners didn't cut it.
