Premier college closer David Aardsma is starting at Double-A Norwich and learning how to pitch, but eventually will become a closer. A bigger problem is who will be the Giants’ closer for the time being. Alou had eyed Jim Brower initially, but the right-hander hasn’t pitched well lately.

Glad to hear about Aardsma. He has great stuff but needs to learn to pitch and not throw. Starting in Norwich will help him do that, plus build up his endurance.

How many potential closers do we fucking have? I’ve heard Accardo has the stuff to close, and didn’t we hear the same thing about Merkin?

Blah maybe I should write about the Giants for baseballbias and bitch about how bass-ackwards we are.

And you say the media blows things out of proportion. :p

Maybe in the opposite direction, this time.
