OK team, pay attention to this situation:  Giants pitching prospect, Kai-Wei Teng RHP(High A/Eugene Emeralds), was suspended 10 games for use of a substance found on his glove.  This is a big deal in the "Spin Rate Era".  The easiest way to get higher spin rates is to get a better grip on the ball and the easiest way to get a better grip.....well, you get the idea.  MLB is rumored to be preparing a big crackdown at the MLB level within the next two weeks.

....and just like that, Shun Yamaguchi RHP is rumored to be heading back to Japan.  With Scott Kazmir LHP on the Restricted list, this thins out the Giants SP depth significantly.
