Current Roster

[calsnowskier]

They only called up 1 pitcher. That may be because the minor league seasons dont finish until the 6th (I believe). Maybe they look to add someone at that time? Who? EA, I think, is a safe DFA, so the 40-man should not be a barrier to whoever they want.

With Nick Noonan up (this one is a surprise, I expected Arias over Noonan, but what do I know), Adrianza may be expendable. Considering that three pitchers are still on the dl and another three underperformed at double A or single A, there aren't any options left on the 40 man. Bochy would be my first pick to be added to the 40 man but we will see who (if any) get purchased.

 

[Stokes1931]

Cody Hall added to the Active Roster
Hector Sanchez added to the Active Roster
Nick Noonan added to the 40-Man and Active Rosters
Tim Hudson activated from the 15-day DL
Angel Pagan activated from the 15-day DL
Justin Maxwell DFA'd

Giants DFA Justin Maxwell, add six to expanded roster - Giants Extra

Just noticed that Jarrett Parker didn't get called up. I assume that is because the RiverCats season isn't over but they didn't call him up last September after having purchased his contract from double A earlier in 2014, not playing him in any games, sending him to Fresno and him doing well there.

With De Aza and Pagan, the outfield should be okay for a time. Don't want to leave Sacramento completely dismantled.

I would say Okert, just to get another lefty.

Agreed.

Okert was stellar in the AFL last fall.

He has had a pretty good season at Sacramento, but had 2-3 really terrible outings which have skewed his stats. He has been pretty much passed by Osich as the go to lefty reliever, but adding another lefty wouldn't hurt. JLo's numbers look good, but anecdotally, he has not been doing the job for the past few weeks.

If Okert comes up, he needs to be added to the 40, right? So who gets released, DFA'ed, etc? Or does Timmah go to the 60 day DL?

 

[calsnowskier]

They also added Huddy, which moves someone to the bully as well. So actually, 2 arms were added.

 

[LHG]

Sounds like its far from a sure thing that Lincecum will return this season - Exclusive: Lincecum talks about injuries that may end Giants career

Yeah, they might be saving the Timmeh card for as long as they need to. Sad to see that he may be done. Would've liked to get him one more appearance at AT&T.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Alejandro De Aza acquired from the Red Sox in exchange for Luis Ysla.

De Aza added to the Active Roster ("25-man roster" has been renamed)

Lollis DFA'd

Actually, it has always been known (officially) as the active roster. The active roster has 25 guys thru the first part of the season until Sep 1, at which point the active roster may have up to 40 guys. FANS call it the 25-man. Well, there are some rare situations where you can actually have 26 guys on the Active Roster during the first part of the season.

 

[calsnowskier]

Susac added to the 60-day DL

Jackson Williams added to Active Roster

 

[calsnowskier]

Joe Panik activated from the 15-day DL
Tim Lincecum placed on the 60-Day DL
Brett Bochy added to the 40-Man and active rosters

 

[SFGRTB]

Apparently, there will be one more call-up tomorrow (of guys who aren't coming off DL).

On the 40-man, only Black, Gregorio, Law, Carbonell, and Parker aren't in SF yet. The only one I'd say has a shot is Parker, or it's someone they'll grab who's not on the 40-man yet.

I agree on Parker.

If it is a non-40 guy, that means they would have to 60 someone, and with Cain and Patty due back any day, that leaves only Pence.

I am 100% OK with shutting Pence down at this point. Obliques can be SOOO touchy.

I hope its Parker. It would be nice to have some more pop on the bench.

If Whiteside is really considered a viable option, they could 60 day Sanchez.

And we gotta salvage SOMETHING from that draft class...

Of course...

I was only looking at guys currently on the 15. We also have Aoki as an option.

Hey, there's always Devin Harris or Eric Sim (as a pitcher).
