Notes: Reality Series, Non-Roster Invitees, Fanfest

• The Giants are going to be the subject of a new reality series: "San Francisco Giants will be featured on a new Showtime reality series chronicling the 2010 World Series champs' off-season, spring training, and 2011 regular season, Major League Baseball and the cable network announced today." Keep in mind, though, that all the details aren't yet worked out. Matt Cain says they announced it early. 
• I hate to acknowledge people like this, but this guy is just pathetic. This attention-starved man wants to fight Brian Wilson. (h/t Crazy Crabbers)
• Today, the Giants announced the names of the 22 non-roster invitees to Spring Training. Among the interesting names are Waldis Joaquin, Brandon Belt, Guillermo Mota, and Ryan Vogelsong (who was sent to the Pirates years ago in the Jason Schmidt trade). 
• When it comes to the Giants, Fans and UZR disagree: there's a vast gap between Fangraphs FSR and UZR. 
• Giants Fanfest is coming up!
