Did Giles even get a chance?

No, he didn't. That drives me nuts in spring training. Hurdle and O'Dowd come in spouting, "the job is up for grabs ... you've got to win it ... nobody is being handed anything." And then Nix (who hit 4 HRs but really was outplayed by Giles, Barmes, AND Quintanilla) is handed the job. And given the bogus "player of spring training" award to justify it. Same with Morales, who did nothing to "win" the 5th starter job.
So stop b.s.ing and just say "the job is Nix's to lose" or something like that.
HF, don't you find it a little bit sad that you're left pining for Ronny Cedeno?
Hey, did anyone sign Neifi? His suspension is half over ...
