SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy wants his catchers and pitchers to change up their assignments during these early days of spring training so they can become as familiar to each other as possible.
Someone will have to break the news to George Kontos and George Kottaras. This spring won't be all Greek to them.To nobody's surprise, the two Georges, whose families both hail from the cradle of Western civilization, chose each other when it came time to throw the first bullpen sessions of the spring.Their names are similar. Their ancestries are similar. They both even have dogs named Leo -- short for Leonidas, of course.
