All 4 of them were vacuuming up balls and making steady plays. I know the Giants are middle of the pack in UZR defensive metrics, but I challenge folks to find a better all around defensive team than what the Giants are running out there right now.<br /><br />We are witnessing a really special time in Giants history here, folks. You have to go all the way back to the 60's to find a time when the Giants had this many homegrown players on the field. Don't care what the naysayers think, there are more from where these kids came from. The Giants have dramatically upped their drafting game since John Barr became scouting director, especially with position players, but I think they have upped their game in finding pitchers too. Tidrow seems to be concentrating more on the development side of pitching and with Bert Bradley as the minor league pitching coordinator and Rags in the majors they seem to have a cohesive pitching development philosophy for the first time. Same goes for the hitters with Bam Bam, Decker and Lefebvre all seeming to be on the same page with hitting approach i.e. looking for hittable pitches, staying out of 2-strike counts, line drive/gap power.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-72310628897439596162015-06-10T00:44:32.547-07:002015-06-10T00:44:32.547-07:00Also, Espn fantasy baseball forecaster predicted H...Also, Espn fantasy baseball forecaster predicted Heston's game score would be 50.

That's why I still hold out some hope for someone like Chris Stratton..<br /><br />LGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
