Durham Beats Out Frandsen

Oh, Kevin Frandsen came to camp with a suspicious "new" body and a boatload of confidence. Then they put him at short for a couple games and it all went to shit. After some much-hyped competition, it seems pretty clear Ray Durham will be wheeling out to second on opening day in Los Angeles. (Yay?).

Lest we remind you yet again that Durham is in a contract year and that does tend to have a certain magical effect on him when it comes to offense.

No worries about Frandsen, though - he'll get plenty of time around the infield ... just not at short.

So, what do you think? Has Durham proven himself enough, or should the Giants be ready to yank him from that lineup card at the slightest hint of inconsistency?

It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
