Current Roster

Happened yesterday, but I am just now getting to it…

Birdsong optioned to make room for Baumann. Birdsong will not miss his turn in the rotation, though, as he will be the 27th man for the doubleheader.

Will his activation for that game interrupt his option clock, assuming he is called back up when eligible? That is a detail I have little understanding about.

I would guess not, simply because the 27th man doesn't have to optioned back to AAA after the doubleheader, he is simply taken off the roster.

No 40 move is needed, but a 26 move will be required (he doesn’t have any options). I expect that to come tomorrow.

Matos down?

Why these 40 man grabs? Yeah, I know that FZ is in charge. But I thought they were clearing space for Cobb and Ray. Guess FZ made space too soon and couldn't help himself.

To be fair, Hill was decent in SSS with Texas, but man, he's bounced around.

Looks like he is a defense first, OK bat OFer. Looks similar to Yaz.

Rumor has it that Hill was a weak hitting middle infielder early in his career. FZ cannot resist.

I thoguht Winn was doing some throwing on the side. I guess he had a setback or the Giants have decided he needs "more time".

And is Baumann really better than Rodriguez?

Baumann can’t be optioned. I read that as more inventory management than anything else.

This is a lost year. Rodriguez has been struggling. I am in favor of the inventory management move. At least until Baumann gets into a few games and our staff gets a better grasp of his abilities.

Meh. They couldn't figure that out by watching tapes of him pitching and the results that it created? It is a lost year, so let the rookies struggle for a while.

Matos needs to play every day and RanRod needs a break.

Continually throwing kids out to fail can cause much more damage than giving them a mental break and allowing them to “get right” in an easier environment.
