Giants Prospect Andrew Susac Goes on Republican Rant After Presidential Election

We all know catching prospect Andrew Susac is a good player -- or is expected to be in the near future -- but what we may have missed it that Susac is severely right wing and not afraid to be vocal about it, as was evident by a borderline Republican rant on Tuesday night.


Susac took to Twitter in the hours after it became evident Barack Obama would win the presidential election and shared his opinions to the world -- for better or for worse.

An obvious supporter of Mitt Romney in the election, Susac was evidently teased by some Democrats on Twitter after Obama's victory, then repeated to respond in the way a future Major League baseball player probably should not -- regardless of his opinions.

Whether many agreed with him or not, Susac was wrong for sharing his apparent strong beliefs to a Twitter world that is not afraid to bite back.

The 22-year-old is currently the heir to the heir of the Giants' catching fortune. He was a part of San Francisco's major depth behind the plate that includes Buster Posey and Hector Sanchez, and formerly included Tommy Joseph before he was traded to the Phillies in exchange for Hunter Pence at the 2012 trade deadline.

Susac is currently with Single-A San Jose, where he hit .244 with 52 RBI and nine home runs in 2012.

Below are a few highlights from his night on Twitter:

    WRONG for sharing his beliefs? Really? What is this, Syria?

    And why pray tell is this a "Republican rant"? Can someone not fear for the future of our country and its overwhelming debt burden being piled on by the current administration, without waving a Republican flag? Apparently not in your world...

    Strange when the sports and Hollyweird crowd calls someone a derisive term like a "tea bagger", a racist, or worse...I don't see the same criticism coming from random, sporadically-read blogs like this one.
