Gregor Big Bat Blanco

Panda? We no need no stinkin Panda, we got Big Bat Blanco. Well, at least that's what we Giants fans are feeling these days.  With Pablo returning soon from a wrist injury, I hope to see the continued play and growth of outfielder Gregor Blanco.  

Blanco, a Venezuelan native, is currently in the leadoff hitter spot batting .288.  He has two homers in two days and just seems to make things happen with his bat and legs (6 stolen bases).  The Giants as a whole are stepping up their game at the right time.  Coming into today's game they're 8-2 in the last ten games, excellent.


With all the new players producing on the team, Gregor Blanco is one that has silently gone about his business producing.  If you weren't following the team you might not have noticed him, but for those caught up in the Giants season, Blanco is a keeper.  If you ask me he seems to be getting better as the season goes on.


As for Panda I have this advice: Push away from the table and avoid Santa Cruz like the plague.  I wanna see Pablo come back and add fire to an already sizzling team, but if he's not fully ready to be the man, then let the playas play and let Panda Pinch for a bit.  Whatever the Giants decide to do, reward Blanco with more playing time, not less.


Go Giants!
