My New Project... Giants in the Fall/Winter Leagues

Updated 11/21/2009 7:27 AM ET

So now that the Major League baseball season is officially over, it's time for the Arizona Fall League and the Caribbean Winter Leagues. It's a little hard to get information about the Giants in these leagues all in one place. Someone on Twitter (@SFG1ants) suggested to me that I could link to some sort of a nightly recap of how the Giants players did that day. Sounds like a good idea to me! Every night I'll try to write an entry summarizing what each of the Giants players did, and use the "Giants Fall/Winter League Recap" tag. I'll start with which Giants I know of that are playing in the Fall/Winter Leagues, and some links. Pretty much all my info is from this site. Feel free to let me know if you have any more information! :)

My Guide to KNBR/Giants FanFest

Quite a few people (mostly on Twitter) have been asking me what this Giants FanFest thing is all about, so I decided to post on here about it. As you may or may not know, I like to write a LOT. So, this post is going to have a LOT of info on FanFest, probably much more than you need. But hey, I figure I'd rather give you too much information on this great event than not enough. I hope you find it useful. :) If you don't want all this info and would prefer just basic information, I suggest you visit the Giants' official FanFest webpage when it's officially posted. Otherwise, read on! :)
