The Cough Drop Beard shocked me! I was shocked when I noticed how thin Brian Wilson looked in videos of the Giant workout from Scottsdale. He has lost a noticeable amount of weight which indicates to me that he is both very serious about the coming season and worried about his health. He mentioned that he had a hip problem last year and most likely compensated for it which led to his elbow problem. Wilson has to be concerned with a big baseball payday awaiting him in the near future. Lets hope Vogelsong with his back problem recognizes what can happen if one tries to pitch when hurt. Note: Wilson's beard resembles the beards of the Smith Brothers Cough Drops which have been sold for over 100 years and the reason for the name Cough Drop Beard.
Charlie Culberson: The Giants # 6 rookie became by our count the 855 baseball player to be injured using weights. He will be out a few weeks which is tragic because it really diminishes his chances of moving up to play 2nd base for Fresno this year.
More Secrets: Brian Wilson let everyone know that he had a hip problem last year. Did that surprise manager Bruce Bochey like the news that Pat Burrell would be late for spring training this year because of shoulder surgery. Bochey commented that he did not know that Burrell had a shoulder problem. Another secret is revealed and maybe the reason Pat could not get around on a fast ball last year. Burrell is a special consultant to assist the Giant organization.
