I wrote a feature on Ryan Sadowski today for FanHouse. Most die-hard Giants fans around here know the story, but hopefully I’ll get him some national exposure.
It’s already on the AOL.com main page, with the usual stuff about Michael Jackson and “New Weapons For Weight Loss.”

Just about any discussion about Giants trades eventually gets around to the fact that Madison Bumgarner is untouchable. While I don’t dispute that the Giants and their fans both believe this, let’s look at the phrase “untouchable” for a moment.
No one is untouchable.
It is simply ridiculous to suggest than someone who has been a professional for two years, and never pitched above Double-A is untouchable. Bumgarner may turn out to be another Tim Lincecum, but he may also turn out to be another Homer Bailey. Bailey was a high school pitcher picked No. 7 overall (Bumgarner was No. 10) and he was highly touted as a minor leaguer. He got to the majors and he’s been, well, meh. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good.
Although it may be heresy to suggest it around AT&T Park, Bumgarner just may end up being Homer Bailey, and it wouldn’t be that big of an upset.

Just a quick plug for my buddy Robert Buan’s radio show, Country Fastball. Robert is having a Fourth of July special show with all sorts of folks: Ray Fosse, Landon Powell, Matt Cain, Mike Krukow… also Jim Leyland, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Ron Washington and Alan Embree.
Anyway, check out the Country Fastball Website to find a station in your area.
