The San Francisco Giants need the Kung Fu Panda to finish 2010 like he played in 2009
23-year old switch hitting 3B Pablo Sandoval burst onto the scene for the Giants in 2009. He played in 153 games last season for the Giants and he was 189 of 572 (.330 avg, .943 OPS) with 79 runs scored, 25 homers, 90 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. The Kung Fu Panda has struggled this season though as pitchers have been working him over. Sandoval has played in 129 games for the Giants this year and he is 136 of 499 (.273 avg, .747 OPS) with 56 runs scored, 12 homers, 58 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. The Giants need Sandoval to play more like his 2009 version in September so they can catch the Padres in the N.L. West.
