Pablo Sandoval gets hitting tips from Barry Bonds!
If that doesn't say everything...well here is more:
He has slimmed down, ran up hills to the point of vomiting and is saying he is back to the shape he was in back in 2008-2009.Sandoval said he worked out three times a week with O'Brien, who won the gold medal in the 1996 Games in Atlanta, and got some coaching over the phone from Bonds.
His advice was simple: "Get a good pitch at the plate and hit it.''

This is only good news for Giants fans, as far as I'm concerned. If Pablo gets close to his 2009 numbers, I'll be one happy camper.

The Giants have some options at third base. Even Tejada can play that position. So Kungfu Panda has to do something to regain his spot at third base.

Sandoval, Lind, and Ellsbury together completely torpedoed my fantasy team last season.

Needs some of those "Young Grasshopper" lessons.
Game always needs a player like Sandoval or 1 Nut Kruk, they just are great for the game and reminds fans of the pudgy kid that could really play sports, that we all grew up with.

Barry can't teach steroids, he can only supply them.
