I voted wait and see. It’s not like we don’t have enough relievers. I’d slowly work him in low-stress situations and hopefully he can get his stuff back. We aren’t paying him a ton of money so if he could come back to form it would be better than Sabean overpaying on a reliever to replace him.

I say stick with him, but then again I didn’t see last night’s outing. I don’t think sending him down to Fresno would be of much use to him. He needs more outings to work things out, even if they may be painful.

I thought I read somewhere at the beginning of the year that he had an option left. I can’t find the article so maybe I am mistaken.

It’s possible that a move has already been made. I saw this link on the MLB.com Giants board so take it for what it’s worth.

Billy Sadler, a relief pitcher and former Catholic High standout, has been called up by the San Francisco Giants and will meet the team in Pittsburgh for their game tonight against the Pirates

I can’t find confirmation anywhere else yet, so I guess we will wait and see.

I can’t get the entire link to work, can somebody help?

I voted “other”, because that’s how I roll.

What I do know is that he singlehandedly turned me into a blathering lolcat yesterday.

I’ve never been huge on Hennessey and he’s making $1.6M this year I think. I’d keep him on the team for a little longer but he hasn’t shown much this year.

Followed by a rehab stint in Fresno?

I thought he’d get sent down when they brought Chulk back up, but that didn’t happen. I don’t care if there’s an option left or not, he’s doing this team NO good whatsoever. If he gets claimed, fine. If he clears and makes it to Fresno and figures it out down there, fine. If he strains his suck and goes on the DL, fine. ANywhere but in the Giants bullpen.

Too bad the Giants player who looks the most like Grant is having such a rough time of it.

Give him a couple more months. His periodic brilliance has warranted that, and a knee-jerk DFA at this point would be premature. Let’s watch Zito, Lowry and Misch closely until we that situation plays out.

You know that saying about, “Whatever doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger”? Well, Brad Hennessey is killing me. Like Larry kills Irwin. Like the Killing Joke killed Nazis.

I mean, I feel like anything good that happens this year is gravy, and I’m more than willing to put up with a lot of bad baseball this season in the interests of giving a handful of young players the chance to prove their worth (or lack thereof). But Hennessey’s got nothing.

There’s absolutely nothing redeeming right now with respect to Brad Hennessey pitching to Major League hitters. It’s cruel and inhuman punishment—to Hennessey, to his teammates, and to Giants fans everywhere. Heck, it’s almost even cruel for opposing hitters to have to repeatedly bash and batter this poor, defenseless excuse for a pitcher. Almost cruel. I’m sure Henney’s teammates in the field must be daydreaming about how nice it would be to be able to hit against Hennessey.

Send him away. It’s morally wrong to keep making him pitch to Major League hitters.

That’s how I feel, anyway.

Sadler got called up.

Why don’t we send him down to Fresno so he can work things outs. And while in Fresno why not call up one of their relievers – say a Billy Sadler.
