Current Roster

[LHG]

I suspect he will be DFA’d by us within 2 weeks. They just want him in the system to help w Hunter or make him happy.

I am sure they would be thrilled if he actually does something himself (that is possible), but that likely wasnt the deciding factor in the claim.

I just don't get why another outfielder. Once these guys get healthy, they are going to have too many of them. Personally, I'd rather see Heliot Ramos (whose brother played briefly with Sacramento a few years ago, and crashed hard offensively, which was disappointing as his career was the opposite of Braden's, decent minor league numbers but no big league call up) or Vince Fernandez in AAA.

I thought Bishop was a decent minors hitter??

Offensively, looks like a clone of LaMonte Wade, Jr

The Giants claimed RHP Trevor Hildenberger from the Mets. He's a reliever with 134 big league appearances over four years, he'll go to Sacramento. Tommy La Stella goes on 60-day IL, so he can't return until July.

Jose Alvarez got activated today and Logan Webb is now on the IL.

Think Alvarez or Dotel gets sent down when they call up Kazmir or Trop?

I don't think Alvarez has any options and Dotel retired a few years ago. Only Doval or Selman have options (so do Baragar and Rogers but that would just be stupid to send either of those two down).
Maybe Belt goes on the IL. But someone has to come off the 40 man roster to make room too. Is it too early to expect Braden Bishop to get dfa'd?

DOVAL....right. I'd think he goes down, Kazmir comes up.

Guess we'll see.

Jeez, what do you want from the guy? Didn't he protect an 18 run lead today?

And Wisler saved a 15 run lead! I think that means he gets a guaranteed lifetime contract from the Giants.

That was a quick turnaround for Hildenberger.

Well, I guess we know who our starter is tomorrow.

It could be that Tropeano is coming in as long relief and another move will be made tomorrow for Kazmir?

No clue. No idea what kind of weight should be placed on the accuracy of RR’s projected starters.

This article suggests that it is certainly a possibility Kazmir is called up to start and Tropeano could be the long man if Kazmir poops his pants.

Tropeano called up as potential starter

When the Giants unveiled their Opening Day roster in March, the most notable omission was right-hander Nick Tropeano, who made a compelling case to be included on the 26-man roster following his strong performance in Cactus League action. “It was a difficult decision and not the easiest...

Kazmir 'on cloud nine' after return to Majors

Nearly five years removed from his last Major League appearance, left-hander Scott Kazmir completed his latest comeback when he took the mound for the Giants in Saturday afternoon’s 6-3 loss to the Dodgers at Oracle Park. The Giants couldn’t have asked for much more from the 37-year-old Kazmir...

Selman optioned and B Bishop dfa'd, and just two days after this article posted on the team website:

Bishop brothers now share common goal

Braden Bishop can’t help but marvel at the emotional events that have defined the past few years of his life. In March 2019, he made his Major League debut with the Mariners at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, taking over right field when Seattle icon Ichiro Suzuki ended his legendary

I mourn his appearances too...
