GLENDALE, Ariz. – Joe Panik is hitting .471 this spring. He is swinging the crispest bat in camp.
And nobody, other than Panik, is happier to see it than Giants left-hander Matt Moore.
Lest anyone forget, it was Moore who threw the pitch June 18 in Tampa Bay that struck Panik on the helmet and ultimately sent him to the disabled list with a concussion.
Six weeks later, after the Tampa Bay Rays traded Moore to the Giants, he joined his new team in Philadelphia and was surprised to learn that Panik had just returned to the lineup.
