Game Thread: 4/15 Teeth vs Rox

[Stokes1931]

Pagan was mentioned a lot in the post game show. But I think that if they were just going to turn to him the first time they needed someone, why bother with Stubbs and Upton? But both of them are righties.

Moncrief and Shaw are both lefties. But Shaw is a legit prospect and us only 23. I don't think they want to start his clock yet. Moncrief is not a prospect, and is hitting well in Sacto. Although, he does not have a history of hitting well, so I am not sure he is even an emergency option.

Which brings us back to Pagan. He is a switch hitter, but he has not played since the WBC. He would need at least a week or so just to get ready. And I think the org was ready to move in from him.

All said, I think it has to be Arroyo or Tomlinson, and since KT is already on the 40, and in all honesty, he earned a spot on the roster in ST, I think he gets the call.

Good point, KT has kept hitting in Sacto. I am not convinced Hill will remain long, he is looking old-ish.

I wonder if arroyo could pull a posey? You know, come up and really make a diff.

I think it is Tomlinson and the Giants move Hill to the outfield on a more consistent basis. Then, if Tomlinson is doing well and Hill is not, they let Hill walk and bring in Morse, Stubbs or Upton.
On a side note, I wonder how Morse feels about the Stubbs and Upton signings. Is Morse going to be slower to return from his injury than originally thought?

I just read on sfgiants.com that maybe Steven Okert gets the call since the team will be playing in KC and then at Coors.

Well, he is a lefty, and Parker is a lefty...

The idea behind this is that the Giants may have less need for a deep bench (deep being a relative word) with the DH in use for three games in KC. And the Giants move on to Colorado, where they may need more pitching. But I do like the humor. Good one cal.
