  1. Is Suarez #6 after the 5 who are currently in the rotation? And #7 if Bumgarner is included?
    Which of these is the #5 OFer:
    Chris Shaw LF- 1 for 2, 2B, 2 BB. BA= .304 SLG= .564
    Mac Williamson DH- 1 for 4, 2B. BA= .247 SLG= .460
    Jarrett Parker RF- 1 for 4, 2B. BA= .225 SLG= .361

    1. #7 Counting Bumgarner, of course. I think Shaw has worked himself into #5 OF, but 40 man roster considerations my trump that.

  2. By the end of July, assuming Cueto leaves, 4 of the Giants 6 top of the rotation starters are LHP.
    Do you think Slania was brought up for relief?
    Matt Cain is #71 in MLB in IP (will move up today), will be tied for #1 today in MLB for number of starts, and is close to the bottom in ERA among qualifiers (#69).
    Still the "horse" just not stakes ready anymore, BUT, he could help someone in contention eat up innings. Would the Giants trade him -- a face of the team who has meant so much?
    But maybe he could get a last shot of post-season -- would he want that, or to go out as a Giant?

    1. I think Slania is a reliever in the majors. I doubt that Matt Cain is tradable.

  3. Ditto yesterdays props for CJ Hinojosa. Really excited to see him getting his average way back up - he was down on his chips hard in the first half of the season after coming back from injury, but he's clearly made a decent recovery now.

    I'm really excited to see his 2nd half of the season - he has the feel of Brandon Crawford to me. Someone who did very well with significant power in A+, but struggled initially at AA where most people probably fell off the bandwagon. I'm still on! ML Shortstop defense with tonder in the bat, if he can develop himself to his ceiling.

    He's got that something about him that makes me think he's going to find a way through, and after a few seasons in the majors, he's going to show he's for real. So, as I said, can't wait to see what he does with the 2nd half of the season in AA. Let's go C.J.!
