Current Roster

It is just Stupidity to keep trading for these type of players and expect wins

Joe is a bigger loss than Ziegler, I think, but both are ripples that are felt. Not waves, but ripples...

It is a business first and foremost. We fans need to remember that.

From MLB Trade Rumors:
As is often the case with minor league contracts, catcher Stephen Vogt’s agreement with the Giants includes a June 1 opt-out chance, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. The Giants already have three backstops – Buster Posey, Erik Kratz and Aramis Garcia – occupying 40-man roster spots, which seems to decrease the 34-year-old Vogt’s odds of earning a promotion from Triple-A Sacramento. However, San Francisco’s a fan of the two-time All-Star’s bat and could summon him at some point, Schulman suggests. The former Ray, Athletic and Brewer hasn’t appeared in the majors since 2017, having missed all of last season because of shoulder surgery.

Juuuust what we need, an aging, left handed catcher coming off an 18 month recovery from surgery. Let's DFA Garcia, who is obviously way too young for this crucial position.

Vogt is right in Bochy's wheel house - bringing that much needed veteran presence. I would hardly be surprised if he's brought up at some point. The problem is, poor Boch is running out of 20 something position players to jettison from the roster. He's down to just Duggar, Austin and Panik. I guess the team could option Duggar to Sacramento or trade Panik for some 32 year old reliever.

After this marathon, I'd expect DRod to be demoted and maybe Venditte or Blach to be recalled for this weekend. Then on Monday I'd expect Suarez called up to make a spot start. Then back to normal.

Blach started last night and went 6 innings.

Garcia is still just on the taxi squad, correct? Austin was never actually placed in the IL?

Based on the article I shared, that is my understanding.

Derek Holland has been placed on the 10-day IL retroactively to April 28 with a bone bruise to his left index finger. The #SFGiants have called Ty Blach up from Sacramento to fill his roster spot.

Why not Beede? He's looked good. Blach was been rather blah with Sacramento (which isn't a bad thing in the PCL, but that makes Beede's numbers all that more phenomenal).

Maybe they're just calling up Blach for temporary relief. No point in calling up Beede if he's going to sit for a few days and wait for his next start

Beede pitched Saturday.

Blach pitched on Wednesday, so should be ready to go.

 

[calsnowskier]

Just updated the roster for Holland going to the 10-day and Blach getting called up.
