Rich Aurilia was just on Sacramento radio and he flat out suggested we go get someone like Josh Willingham if he's available and also thinks we will probably get a bullpen arm in a trade as well.

I do think Susac will have a successful career as a high end back up to a low-mid starter at the catcher position. Let me put this way, I think he will have a higher ceiling then Hector Sanchez. Like you I'm on board on trading him if we can get a long term solution at a position like LF

he took the Giants' juju with him and is chilling

I want to see how big his beard is now. Thats the main reason I want the Giants to sign him back. lol

Plus our pen blows. We could use a good setup guy like him. Its just going to be hard to lure him away from a team willing to give him a closer job with corresponding pay.

I went up an elevator with him a few months ago in LA, his beard was relatively the same length sadly.

CWS is on ESPN2 right now: UCLA vs NC State (scoreless after 2 innings). Pitching for UCLA is Giants' 6th round pick Nick Vander Tuig.

Marginal stuff. Topping out at 89 and not real impressed with his secondary pitches. I dont see him as a big time prospect.

He looks skinny. Not sure how much velocity he could add with more muscle. Also some injury risk as he had Tommy John surgery in 2009.
