St. Louis Cardinals at San Francisco Giants, Apr 12, 2008 1:05 PM PDT
No television. I can't watch television today, and it still bugs me that the game isn't televised.
We all understand the concept of sample size. There's a reason why we aren't all giddy about Brian Bocock's .359 OBP or thinking about Jack Taschner, All-Star Reliever. With just a handful of at-bats or innings pitched in the 2008 season, it's hard to make a definitive judgment about anything.
I still think it's safe to conclude that Rich Aurilia and Ray Durham are done.

This is a great opportunity for John Bowker. Clay Timpner was soooooooo overmatched and with Nate Schierholtz being a little banged up, Bowker gets the opportunity of a lifetime to show his talents. If he succeeds he could make decisions more difficult for the organization.
by wilriv21 on Apr 12, 2008 12:24 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wouldn't say Timpner was soooooooo overmatched. I'd put him at sooooo overmatched at the most. I mean, there are some serious sample size issues here.

Timpner
I'm not sure that's fair, but Bowker is obviously the better prospect, so it'll be interesting to see how he does, if Rowand's out for a while.

Trade Possibilities
Sabean really needs to scour the Tigers system for whatever is left there, because the Tigers bullpen is horrific.
Today's strategy for the Tigers was to leave Verlander in forever, because they have no faith in the pen. They might actually be excited about Chulk and Messenger.

though the Tigers might be more interested in Valdez. they love those power arms
by baetown415 on Apr 12, 2008 12:39 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
that's true. Unfortunately, most of their better prospects were drafted last year. I guess Scott Sizemore at 2B is a possibility. I would be happy with 27-year-old Ryan Rayburn, who would be the best hitter on the Giants.

Aquilino Lopez and Jason Grilli (hey, remember him?) pitched 7 of those innings, though.
They did just give up and DFA Yorman Bazardo though - he is an interesting arm and only 23 - and he would really be worth taking a flyer on.

Yabu? Taschner?
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Apr 12, 2008 12:52 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yabu's the obvious one, but with Chulk coming back soon, he should be gone anyway. I guess Taschner could be optioned, but he's performing too well to make that likely. Bazardo is interesting, but has poor K rates.

With the Renteria, Cabrera and Willis deals the Tigers have pretty much gotten rid of most of their talented prospects. The Angels are also looking for some bullpen help and they had a farm full of talent to raid.

Okay, so when Roberts got hurt, Timpner got called up, because having only five guys on the roster with center-field experience is too risky. But now that Rowand's hurt too, we send down Timpner and bring up a guy who can't play center at all. How does this make sense?
