Wed Apr 25 2012 | 17:38 | Aubrey Huff lands on DL with anxiety disorder |
Giants placed 1B Aubrey Huff on the 15-day disabled list with an anxiety disorder. |
Huff left the team on Monday morning and flew back to his home in Florida for what was being described as a family emergency. But it turns out that he's battling more of an internal, personal issue. The 35-year-old had one of the worst games of his career on Saturday, going 0-for-4 in a loss to the Mets and failing to cover second base on a crucial late-innings defensive play. It's fair to wonder whether these anxiety issues are related. |

Aubrey Huff went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, three RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Pirates. |

However, Huff appears in much better shape this spring as he tries to fend off young Brandon Belt for the starting first base job. So far, so good. |

Tue Jan 3 2012 | 18:14 | Huff expects to be in better shape for 2012 |
Aubrey Huff told Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle that he expects to be in top shape for spring training. |
"I'm feeling physically better this year," said Huff, who spent most of the winter working out at Athletes' Performance Institute (API) in Arizona and resuming Pilates. "I know I'm making a lot of money to go out and get it done, and last year I didn't do it. I took a lot of heat, and I should have. I've got to go to spring training and prove myself and basically win a job, because I've got two young kids breathing down my neck." Huff, who turned 35 in December, batted just .245/.305/.370 with 12 homers, 59 RBI and a .676 OPS over 579 plate appearances last year. He is under contract for $10 million in 2012, but will likely have to compete with Brandon Belt and Brett Pill for playing time. |

And it showed on the field, as Huff batted just .246/.306/.370 with 12 homers and a .676 OPS over 579 plate appearances. The Giants expect him to work harder this winter and have told him to be prepared to play the outfield. "Aubrey knows it's going to be different," said Bochy. "That can't happen again or you've got to make changes." Huff would likely be one of the worst defensive outfielders in baseball, but it could finally give Brandon Belt a chance to play everyday. |
