When the Giants Come to Town, It's Bye-Bye Baby

Gillaspie Swings

It's official, the Giants' second draft pick Conor Gillaspie is on board. He got nearly $1 million to sign, according to reports. Here's a look at his swing (scroll down to #37). He's 21 and a polished collegiate hitter; it'll be interesting to see if the Giants try to get him a bunch of pro at-bats before the summer is over. This is just a point of comparison: Tim Lincecum went to short-season ball for two games when he signed in August 2006 then finished the year with High-A San Jose.
