if any ball deserves to be admired.... that was it.

So glad Posey is a Giant.

also, it looks like it's down to Cole Gillespie (who hit a walk off HR last night) and Francisco Peguero for our 5th OF spot.

I'd say Peguero is the favorite, but Gillespie, who was a non-roster invitee, could be making a push.

I think Peguero makes it even though I don't think he's all that great

lol. not quite.

Last year in his first season above AA, he hit for no power, stole 1 base, and batted .272 with a .297 OB%

Hes a defensive 5th OF with a little bit of speed.

Eh, just because he doesn't exploit his tools in-game doesn't mean he doesn't have them.I've read a few scouting reports saying he has good raw power, can hit for average, has the speed to be a 20+ steal guy and has a plus arm in the OF and is obviously a good defender.

Do I think he pans out? Probably not, but it's not because he doesn't have the tools, he just doesn't know how to use them. Hopefully he's a late bloomer, but I doubt it.

You know, i hear Joaquin Arias has 50 HR power. He just doesnt use it in games..

There's a difference between plus raw power and speed and being able to harness it. Case and point, Gary Brown is a plus plus runner but can't steal bases without getting caught to save his life. In regards to Peguero, if you look at his swing, he doesn't get his hands inside the ball enough to actually hit for the power he should. Plus his plate approach is also borderline atrocious. Hence my comment: good tools, can't figure out how to use them.
