Parting thoughts on the Giants after a week in Arizona: -- Just 22 years old, country strong and 6-foot-5, MadisonBumgarner is on the verge of greatness. The art of pitching comeseasily to him, although he's still learning. Two years ago, he wasthe kid who stared down Texas in the World Series, and this season- nothing against Tim Lincecum or Matt Cain - he could be the bestpitcher on the Giants' staff. That's how good Bumgarner looks this spring five strikeouts inthree innings on Thursday against San Diego, and that's how thescouts are evaluating him from their vantage point behind homeplate. Don't even think about lofty goals or awards; Bumgarnercertainly isn't. It's all very simple to him: Just give me theball. What a treat that must be for manager Bruce Bochy andpitching coach Dave Righetti.
