we need him.

It can never be simple with Casilla.

We should play the phillies more often.

Cardiac casilla

Good finish to the first half of the season

FYI

Danny Carbonell got sent down to A+ in San Jose. He's hitting .333 over 60 plate appearances. Obviously, a set back in AA this year but its good to see him bounce back thus far. Maybe he gets sent back up later in the year if he continues to excel.

Christian Arroyo tied a SJ Giants record with 5 hits the other night, now hitting .321. He's one of, if not the youngest player in A+ and an all-star. Liking that.

Adam Duvall has 20 Bombs and 60 RBI, and is coming off a 3 HR game. I don't think it will be long before we see him in the bigs. This team needs bench depth. I dont think he's much more than a bench player, we've seen this type of dude before... Todd Linden, Brett Pill, John Bowker... AAAA hopefully he can come up and add some pop from the bench.

Chris Stratton, has been dealing. Prior to giving up 4 runs in his last start he had 10 straight starts through AA and AAA with 2 ER or less. Maybe he's figuring it out? 2.23 ERA with a 1.09 whip in 7 starts in AAA.

Theyre giving off an NBA style tanking vibe. They all know these are pointless games.

Howard is untradeable. Utley has a NTC I believe and has said he doesnt want to be traded. Outside of Hamels and Papelbon they dont have much assets to move. Pretty sad, Ruben Amaro Jr. may be the worst GM in the majors. You have to think the Dodgers will be in on Hamels and/or Cueto.

I'm so glad I don't have to post in the Cardinals thread.

They made a mistake by not trading him during the winter. Now his value is down and they wont have much leverage.

POG is 1-0

I had a good post season run last year from the couch.

So Huddy will be back in the rotation once the break is over. Looks like Vogey will be back in the bullpen. Bum, Cain, Heston, Peavy, Huddy. Just cant see it any other way.

Giants are going to have some interesting decisions to make on the roster soon assuming they keep Huddy, Timmy, and Affeldt.

Back in.
Aoki
Hudson
Lincecum
Affeldt

Out??
Adrianza - for sure he has to be one
Machi - can see a DFA here. Just no room for him
Osich - simply numbers but he deserves to stay. But he wont unless they trade Lopez or Affeldt
Vogey?? Surprise trade or DFA?

gonna be tough.

Yuck. Vogelsong is the lesser of 2 evils IMO. At least hes good at home.
