SF Giants Rumors – Greatness Visits, Power Prevails
Posted on March 10th, 2010 by admin in SF Giants Rumors
Chris Haft of MLB.com reports that Muhammad Ali visited the Giants Camp yesterday. Ali appeared to help promote Athletes for Hope, an organization created to educate athletes about the importance of community service and connect them to the charity of their choice.After the 40-minute presentation, nearly every Giant took turns sitting next to Ali and posing for photos with him.
Haft gives some insights on yesterdays game in another article. The Giants were victorious in another Cactus League game today (Giants 6, White Sox 2).
Matt Cain pitched three innings and allowing one run.
The big noise came in the bottom of the 8th inning. The Giants were down 2-1, and then they had a break out inning. It was capped off with back-to-back homers by Fred Lewis and Buster Posey.
King of Cali thoughts: I must say I’m impressed with the Giants. Everyone seems to be stepping it up. I think it’s the battle for the few spots on the roster that are still available. I have received emails from fans saying I hope the Giants aren’t peaking too soon. I know those are just jokes, but it’s nice to see what some of these players are capable of doing.
I know I have said before that I’m done with the Lewis experiment, and it’s time for the Giants to move on. Are you done with it, or do you think their might be something there? He has the potential, but I feel like I’m always left disappointed. The Giants may just be putting him on display, so they can move him in a trade. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
It’s nice to see Posey play yard ball yesterday. This guy may start down in Fresno, but it won’t be long before he gets the call. All it takes is for a slumping Bengie Molina, or a hurt Molina. Then the Posey era will start to creep it’s way with a little bit of playing time here and there.

The Time is Now – This is the year of the Giants!
I know Fred Lewis has the skills and draw a walk and he runs well but he just is to inconsistent when given playing time and I really don’t like his defense and I also agree with King that it is just a matter of time before Posey gets the call up he just has to much talent to stay in Fresno and I like his confidence which always key in success in anything in life.
