April 23, 2013San Francisco Chronicle Posey ties it, Belt wins it for Giants The joke made the rounds even as Brandon Belt was checking his body for serious bruising after the customary pounding a player absorbs after ending a game with a hit.

McCovey Chronicles Back before the 2009 season started, I got an e-mail from the fellow who helped Andres Torres retool his swing. The gist of the e-mail: Watch out for Andres Torres. He's gonna be good. A similar e-mail today would read, "Cole Gillespie is going to melt your face" or "Tony Abreu: future All-Star."
