are they giants gonna do what they did last year with this guy, and just shuffle him around various positions? do you think he could improve on his numbers from last year if he gets as many or more at bats?
I don't think he'll any more at bats than he did last year. Maybe even less. Of course with a starting lineup as old as the Giants have someone could go down for a long time and he could end up getting a lot of playing time.

Uhhh? You say he'll have less than you say he could have more? Make up your mind. He'll definitely get more .... why wouldn't he??
Man, I knew someone was going to call me on that right after I posted it. I guess my point is he should get about the same number of ABs as he did last year. I don't see him winning a starting job anywhere.

Yeah but he'll be backing up Snow at first, Alfonzo at third, and will also see time backing up Vizquel at short, Bonds in left, Grissom in center, and Alou in right. He's going to see more AB's .... end of story.
Feliz will get starters AB's, shuffling around 3B, 1B, and the OF even though he doesn’t have a set position.
As for Alfonzo and Snow, Alfonzo starts because of the big contract. He's reportedly lost 20 pounds and played winter ball this year. He knows Feliz is challenging him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a good year.
For Snow, you can’t argue against his defense. And he should do well hitting in the 3 spot.
Feliz has terrible plate discipline and is sub par defensively at every position, save 3B.
