Merkin Valdez on the right.......Victor Santos on the left. I remember when I first saw Merkin he looked like a taller Eugenio Velez. He has sure filled out. Hope he can make it back from the Tommy John surgery.

About Me
- Giantfan9
- I have been a Giants fan for as long as I can remember. I have had Giants Regular Season Tickets for 25 years (since 1985) and Spring Training Season Tickets since the "new" Scottsdale Stadium opened in 1992. I have gone to Spring Training every year, except the strike year, since 1987. I go to A LOT of Giants games. I also go to Arizona for the Arizona Fall League every October/November. I figure I attended about 125-130 games in calendar year 2008......almost all of them involving Giants players. Baseball is a great game.....Giants' baseball is the best part of a great game!

Valdez has also had a hair cut. It suits him better than the "snatchwig" :) he had in previous years.
Out of options, Merkin. Now is the time.
Well, great days work at the ballpark GF9. Thanx
