SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Giants were a few minutes late getting out on the field for Thursday's workout. The clubhouse was closed for one of the many meetings the team holds, and this was the most important one yet.
Hitting coach Alonzo Powell informed the players that he had completed his 40th and final radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Powell had been getting treatment five mornings a week in Peoria and then making the long drive to Scottsdale to work with players.
"He's been through a lot," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He said, 'Hey, I'm going to beat this' and he's had such a positive attitude.
