Madison Bumgarner emerged as the secret weapon in the Giants stretch run, making an impact on the club every bit as valuable as fellow rookie
Buster Posey. The Bumgarner-Posey battery in Game Four of the World Series (on
Hallowe'en) put on a riveting show of baseball excellence, dominating (with a little help from
Aubrey Huff,
Andres Torres, etc.) a very tough Texas lineup and gave the Giants a commanding 3-1 lead. It will be interesting to see how the Giants handle their young lefty (he'll be 22 in August) and his increased workload in 2011. They seem to have done everything right with
Matt Cain,
Tim Lincecum, and
Jonathan Sanchez, so I'm pretty confident MadBum will be treated right. I'm certainly excited about full seasons from both Bumgarner and Posey.
