The traveling club, powered by Gregor Blanco and Brandon Belt, could only manage a tie. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1168829.html 2047 Evan Stitt http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1168829.html Sun, 18 Mar 2012 13:37:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants RHP Ramon Ortiz signed a minor league deal with the Giants and received an invitation to the team's major league spring camp. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1159432.html 2047 TheSportsXchange http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1159432.html Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:27:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants Sandoval may have a big new contract, but the Giants still want him to slim down. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1157850.html 2047 TheSportsXchange http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1157850.html Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:06:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants The Giants' ace shed some serious weight over the offseason. How? By swimming -- and cutting back on the In-N-Out. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1156112.html 2047 TheSportsXchange http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1156112.html Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:34:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants The Giants are facing plenty of upcoming negotiations. More than a half-dozen arbitration-eligible players are on the roster -- including staff ace Tim Lincecum and leading hitter Pablo Sandoval. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1148566.html 2047 TheSportsXchange http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1148566.html Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:36:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants How will the Giants fill the hole left by Beltran? That's the question Giants fans are asking after GM Brian Sabean replaced outfielders Beltran and Cody Ross with Melky Cabrera and Angel Pagan. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1144585.html 2047 TheSportsXchange http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1144585.html Mon, 02 Jan 2012 07:55:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants The Giants took a huge step backward from their World Series title. Old age and hitting deficiencies caught up with them, and their anemic offense wasted a bunch of pitching gems. The goal is to rebuild the offense so all that solid work from the rotation and bullpen isn't wasted again. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1120538.html 2047 TheSportsXchange http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1120538.html Sun, 23 Oct 2011 17:07:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants If there was any time to be alright about the recent run of injuries the Giants have suffered, it would be against the Houston Astros. The Astros traded away their best two players in Hunter Pence and Michael Bourn before the trade deadline and have a lineup full of unrecognizable names. This bodes well for the Giants, who are also fielding their fair share of replacements. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1097598.html 2047 Evan Scott http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1097598.html Sat, 20 Aug 2011 00:17:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants With Pablo Sandoval's first inning home run on Wednesday, the 2011 Giants tied the 1914 Philadelphia Phillies for the most consecutive solo home runs at 19. The last Giants home run to come with runners on base was on July 6 when Nate Schierholtz hit a two-run shot against San Diego. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1094906.html 2047 Evan Scott http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/1094906.html Thu, 11 Aug 2011 20:33:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants For years now, the San Francisco Giants have been a team that has lived and dies with its pitching staff. This winter, the team's biggest acquisitions were position players designed to finally add some thump to the offense. Will it be enough for the Giants to reach the postseason after falling just four games shy last year? http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/959454.html 2047 Richard Van Zandt http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/959454.html Sun, 04 Apr 2010 02:42:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The San Francisco Giants are generally thought of as the most improved team in the NL West this year. But with an overrated pitching staff, shaky infield defense, and anemic offense that wasn't addressed this winter, it figures to be a fifth-consecutive losing season for Brian Sabean's boys. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/852075.html 2047 Richard Van Zandt http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/852075.html Tue, 31 Mar 2009 00:07:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Today begins a six-part, two-week analysis of the San Francisco Giants' top prospects by position. Richard Van Zandt begins with a ranking of the top five catching prospects in the organization, and it's no surprise as to who comes in at #1.  http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/788134.html 2047 Richard Van Zandt http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/788134.html Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:08:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks While the signing of Dominican-born Angel Villalona was widely seen as a sea-change for the San Francisco Giants, who have invested little in (and gotten even less out of) international scouting, the much quieter signing of then-16-year-old Venezuelan Pablo Sandoval in 2003 may yield big-league returns first. We talk with the catcher about what he’s working on in his return to San Jose this year. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/747166.html 2047 Stamati Horiates http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/747166.html Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:58:00 GMT 1 316 San Francisco sfgiants The young guys looked great as Angel Villalona, Nick Noonan and Clayton Tanner all played big roles in victories Sunday, but the older guys had plenty to say too. Travis Ishikawa, Nate Schierholtz and Jesse Foppert all pitched in as well. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/746225.html 2047 David Jay http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/746225.html Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:25:00 GMT 0 316 San Francisco sfgiants As the Giants look to finalize both their major league and minor league rosters this week, prospects are fighting for jobs throughout the organization. We take a look around the horn at the catching situation, who's benefiting from Rohlinger's big-league adventure, and some of the outfield options. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/740409.html 2047 David Jay http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/740409.html Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:21:00 GMT 1 316 San Francisco sfgiants Because of both geographical and philosophical divides, the Giants and A’s farm systems are often compared to each other. As the Giants and Ports face each other for the third time this season, the teams are going in diametrically different directions. Let’s take at look at who’s doing better. http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/642710.html 2047 Kevin J. Cunningham http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/642710.html Wed, 09 May 2007 15:51:00 GMT 1 316 San Francisco sfgiants San Jose’s bats bombard Bakersfield for a baker’s dozen, while a Fresno hurler steps in for Lincecum and hardly misses a beat. Augusta rallies late to end a rare losing streak, and Connecticut’s offense is stuck in neutral.
