In his defense, Gregor Blanco is supposedly one of the absolute best guys in the Giants clubhouse. He constantly tries to help players and build them up. Actually, he was one of the people who talked to Juan Perez after he found out mid-game about Oscar Taverez's death, got Perez to focus back on the game. So, I think she was trying to say Hanley Ramirez specifically isn't as great a clubhouse guy as two of the best clubhouse guys on the Giants roster... it's a stupid point because he's not playing on a team with only Hanley Ramirez, and it seems Pablo and Hanley are buddies. But I think her point was that the Giants have an unusual team-first chemistry that's difficult to recreate.
The Giants do have great beat writers. I think the main three (Schulman, Baggs and Pavlovic) do good work in their own ways.
Pablo is lying about the DH, I think.
I had a different take on the press conference: he looked nervous and uncomfortable. I am curious how this will all play out. Hopefully, for Pablo's sake, you will love him and roll with the stretches where he looks like the most putrid player to ever be given a major league roster spot. But he will look putrid, sometimes for long stretches. And then you will harp on his weight and his conditioning and how wise it is that his brother is his trainer and chef when he historically gains weight when he's eating home cooking.
The Red Sox aren't really doing the panda thing correctly yet. That panda headed thing does, indeed, look like a rabid Siamese cat. He's Kung-Fu Panda, a cartoon, not a zoo panda.
