Current Roster

[MarcoPolo]

He has legal issues and serious health issues floating around him.

That said, the way he stepped up last year, I thought he had a 1M guarantee out there from SOMEONE.

Yeah, well, unfortunately he also "stepped up" to a woman in the hospital ...

from MLBTradeRumors:

Tyler Graham, a 29-year-old outfielder, has signed a minor league deal with the Giants. Graham spent all of 2006-11 with the San Francisco organization, then split 2012 between the Giants and Diamondbacks. He got a cup of coffee with the D-Backs (two plate appearances), but ended up out of the MLB structure thereafter. Last year, he bounced between four Independent and Mexican League clubs. In his last full Triple-A season, 2011, Graham posted a .273/.337/.338 line with 60 stolen bases.

2 PAs? More like a thimble of coffee...

Is his nickname 'Moonlight' Graham?

He has infinitely more PAs than "Moonlight".

Let's keep this discussion on this side of logical, please...

 

[Heathbar012]

Moonlight is a fantastic nickname, though. To this day, anytime somebody asks, "What does it mean?" I instinctively respond, "It means we're going to Minnesota to find Moonlight Graham."

Why start now?

 

[calsnowskier]

Giants acquire SP/RP David Huff.

Not sure about his option status. I hope Sabes sees something beyond the numbers, cause he looks less-than-pedestrian to me.

[SFGRTB]

Wonder what their thinking is here? Seems like if he can go to the minors, he's bound for Fresno. If he's stuck in the majors I wonder if they see something in him.

He's never been a big stuff guy, but he commands his pitches well. Curious.

He's also a California kid, and was teammates with Brandon Crawford for a year at UCLA.

Best case, he's a Mijares replacement at the third lefty in the bully.

Nope. He sucks against lefties, surprisingly. I read the other thread first, and replied there : http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/san-francisco-giants/134694-spring-training-3.html#post4440122

Mijares signs with Boston.

Mijares signs with Boston.

Don't know if that ballpark suits him, but I wish him luck.

 

[calsnowskier]

Le Grope signs with the Philth.

Le Grope failed his physical and has been cut by the Philth. Guy has a tough road in front if him now. Journeyman swing pitcher with mental AND physical issues that he has to deal with.

I feel for him.

Clever.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Yeah, he's got a long road to hump.

Don't know if a ML job is still within his reach.

 

[Heathbar012]

He can still grind it out.

 

[msgkings322]

He can still forcibly fondle women...

Wait, I think I'm doing this wrong.

Well, maybe this is just rubbing you the wrong way ...
