Who Needs Home Runs? Um, Ray Durham Does

The Giants are doing all they can to make sure fans know what they are in for - this team isn't going to hit so much as its going to run ... and not stop running. That's what Roberto Kelly is preaching at Spring Training:

Speed is exciting. We're going to have to use it as much as we can. We're going to be more aggressive on the bases. The guys who didn't run as much or steal as much and know they can steal, they're going to be asked to steal more and get the offense going.

Kelly's even making sure the pitchers are ready to run - "don't use the excuse that 'I'm a pitcher and I'm not supposed to run the bases well" - and nothing puts fans in the seats like pitchers stealing bases.

Of course, while the running may be enough for the other 24 guys on the roster, Ray Durham is going to have to impress a little with the bat this Spring Training. A season removed from hitting .218, Durham arrives at camp with the knowledge that second is not his to lose. Newly muscular Kevin Frandsen has said some fighting words for Durham this offseason, but the vet seems unphased: "If he beats me out, he beats me out," Durham said of Frandsen. "Then again, nothing against him, I don't see myself losing this job. I've been around a long time. I know what I need to do, and I've got to go out and do it."

Who do you want to see at second?
