Just heard on a Milwaukee, Wisconsin radio station that Ryan Rohlinger has been called up to the Giants and will be starting at 3rd base tonight against Houston. Rohlinger had been rumored for the past couple weeks of a call up around here. No word on whether Pablo went with. I will find out! I also don't know who got sent down but there were 2 open 40 man spots that he was placed on.

WEST BEND EAST GRAD TO START FOR MLB GIANTS TONIGHT
By JUDY STEFFES
judy@prepsonthenet.com
WEST BEND – West Bend High School graduate Ryan Rohlinger received a call at midnight Tuesday from the San Francisco Giants and will step into a starting spot tonight making his Major League Baseball debut against the Houston Astros.
Rohlinger, a 2002 graduate of West Bend East High School, was drafted in the 21st round in 2005 by the St. Louis Cardinals. After completing his senior season at the University of Oklahoma he was picked in the 6th round by the Giants in 2006.
SOLID GLOVE AT THE HOT CORNER
High school baseball coach Doug Gonring has been keeping his eye on Rohlinger ever since he played for him from 1999 – 2002. “Every morning, the first thing I check on the computer is how Ryan Rohlinger did and how Scott Roehl pitched for the Akron Aeros,” said Gonring of another former player who is on his way to the bigs.
According to the San Francisco Giants web site, the team’s corner position with Jose Castillo had been struggling, especially from the plate where the third baseman is hitting .105.
Gonring received the call about Rohlinger at 5:45 a.m. “I’ve just been on the phone the whole morning and the whole thing gives me goose bumps,” he said.
“Ryan is a very gifted ball player but his gifts were his intelligence; all his years being the youngest in the family pushed him to playing smart baseball when he was young,” said Gonring noting Rohlinger also has good patience.
“He doesn’t make mistakes running and he’s got a great glove.” Gonring said the one area Rohlinger needed to improve was in the field.
“Everything is good except he doesn’t throw the ball as well as he potentially could and that’s something he’ll have to work on. He has a good enough glove to do all that, it’s just how he uses his arm and with age that’ll come,” he said.
Rohlinger has a .296 batting average with seven home runs on the season.
The Giants are coming off a 12 – 4 loss against the Astros last night.

Just talked to a close family friend of Rohlinger’s that said that he is indeed up and that he is going to be playing 3rd. Also said that the Giants plan on using Rohlinger at 2B and SS as well at times the remainder of the season.

Because after all, if a guy is having the first really impressive stretch of his career in 44 games at AA, then he’s probably ready for the majors. Right?

Hey they thought it was a good idea to stick him at third in ST when he hadn’t played a game above low-A. At least now there’s sort of a good reason to bring him up. Part of that being the absolutely abysmal shit they had there prior. And that’s taking into account that Aurilia has been actually pretty okay this year.

I don’t think it’s a big deal, and I’m looking forward to seeing him play. But I am a little amazed to see the Giants doubling down on their Bizarro World player-development strategy.

If this is because Aurilia is traded or Jose is DFA
Then good. If this is ‘cause Bowker is sent down, then bad.
Not that sending Bowker down is the end of the world, but if you do that, bringing up Ishikawa makes more sense.

The radio station in Milwaukee is reporting that Aurilia and Winn are close to being sent to the Tampa Rays. Also reporting that Bowker is close to being sent down and that Ryan Rohlinger, Pablo Sandoval and Travis Ishikawa are all being rumored to be heading up. Rohlinger is the only confirmed call-up as of right now.

For about three years I attracted several men from Milwaukee and I really can’t tell you why. At least I got a Prince Fielder signed ball out of it, and an interest in the Brewers as my second NL team. I’ve mentioned the boyfriend as my reason for liking the Brewers but there were others who were buzzing around too.

A while back, there was a gameday thread when someone from the Brewers site showed up and asked you to come join their gameday thread because you were the only girl they know. But I don’t think you were even around for that.

The local station mid morning host is a former high school classmate of Ryan Rohlinger at West Bend High School and talks Rohlinger all the time. So it is pretty big news. I called the show and asked who he was going for and this is who he stated. take it for what it is but I have been told be 3 sources now that Rohlinger is forsure called up.

Bowker
Bowker needs to play everyday and even against LHPs. IF SF is not going to give him that opportunity then maybe a couple of weeks of steady play in Fresno is the answer until September call-ups. Put Bowker in the OF and leave him there. Let Ishikawa play 1b so SF can evaluate his talent.

Rohlinger
Any positions the Giants can fill this year will make for less positions Sabean needs to fill this winter. SF is sorely lacking in HR punch so Ishikawa 1b (24 HR), Sandoval C (20 HR) and Rohlinger 3b (13 HR) are attractive to the big club.

I can’t imagine why Rohlinger qualifies as TGTBT, especially with Ishikawa being so hot. Rohlinger was hitting, like, .001 in San Jose last year. He doesn’t need a 40-man spot to sit on the bench.
by Grant on Aug 13, 2008 11:26 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
In strictest accuracy, he was actually hitting, like, .001 in Augusta last year. Like Evan notes above, he’s basically had one good 40 game stretch in AA, and why that makes him major league ready is anybody’s guess.
On the bright side, he’s a very very good defensive 3B.

I hope you guys respect I’m not running from this. If I was trolling I would never come back. Yes it was the same radio station that reported that Salome and Nelson deal was being done for Durham and Taschner. I personally talked to somebody who would know and Rohlinger is up forsure. He left the Double A team last evening.
As far as the other stuff, I can just go by what the radio station said.
I really hope I am not wrong, for you guys and me. If nothing comes true then I will take what ever punishment you guys want (banning, public caining, or hanging).

They were both there. The rule for major league players is thus: No players with more than one year of credited Major League service as of August 31 are eligible, except a team may select one player picked in the most recently concluded Major League Rule 5 Draft.

Nice! I was hoping Rohlinger could make a play for the 3b job by next year, as a fill in at least if not by surprising as a starter.
He’s got some pop, plays good defense and can draw a walk. I like it. And he HAS to have a better approach than Rally Killer. So addition by subtraction right? Unless of course Bochy misses playing his favorite son and starts him at 2b ahead of Burris….ugh.

From the West Bend Paper
WEST BEND EAST GRAD TO START FOR MLB GIANTS TONIGHT
By JUDY STEFFES
judy@prepsonthenet.com
WEST BEND – West Bend High School graduate Ryan Rohlinger received a call at midnight Tuesday from the San Francisco Giants and will step into a starting spot tonight making his Major League Baseball debut against the Houston Astros.
Rohlinger, a 2002 graduate of West Bend East High School, was drafted in the 21st round in 2005 by the St. Louis Cardinals. After completing his senior season at the University of Oklahoma he was picked in the 6th round by the Giants in 2006.
SOLID GLOVE AT THE HOT CORNER
High school baseball coach Doug Gonring has been keeping his eye on Rohlinger ever since he played for him from 1999 – 2002. "Every morning, the first thing I check on the computer is how Ryan Rohlinger did and how Scott Roehl pitched for the Akron Aeros," said Gonring of another former player who is on his way to the bigs.
According to the San Francisco Giants web site, the team’s corner position with Jose Castillo had been struggling, especially from the plate where the third baseman is hitting .105.
Gonring received the call about Rohlinger at 5:45 a.m. "I’ve just been on the phone the whole morning and the whole thing gives me goose bumps," he said.
"Ryan is a very gifted ball player but his gifts were his intelligence; all his years being the youngest in the family pushed him to playing smart baseball when he was young," said Gonring noting Rohlinger also has good patience.
"He doesn’t make mistakes running and he’s got a great glove." Gonring said the one area Rohlinger needed to improve was in the field.
"Everything is good except he doesn’t throw the ball as well as he potentially could and that’s something he’ll have to work on. He has a good enough glove to do all that, it’s just how he uses his arm and with age that’ll come," he said.
Rohlinger has a .296 batting average with seven home runs on the season.
The Giants are coming off a 12 – 4 loss against the Astros last night.

Doug Gonring is a absolute coaching legend in Wisconsin. If he says Ryan needs to improve his throwing he probably needs to improve his throwing. Gonring is the type of guy who believes you always have something you can improve on. His record of producing talent ball players is remarkable. He has had more kids drafted from West Bend East (6) then any other high school team times two in cold weather Wisconsin.

I wasn’t poking fun at Gonring—I was poking fun at the fact that the Giants (apparently) have a starting 3rd baseman who needs to work on his throwing. That’s just sad/funny, but mostly sad.

Well, I don’t think there’s anyone who’s saying anything nice about Castillo these days. At least with Bowker, it’s mostly “He needs some low pressure ABs in AAA to get back on track.” With Castillo, it’s more like “ARRRRGH DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER”.
Even the “HE HITS DOUBLES!!” brigade has quieted down.

Ok, so I’m not going to read all 500 comments in this thread. Can somebody catch me up?
Here’s what I saw before I had to just skip the rest: Aurilia + Winn to Rays for Something / Rohlinger, Ishikawa Called Up, Bowker Sent Down.
How much of this is confirmed?

No, no no. I’ve come to the conclusion that any thread that goes over 300 before something ACTUALLY happens is perfectly worthwhile for all involved.
What I was getting at was the fact that I wasn’t one of those involved, so the implication is that it was a waste of time for me.

OFFICIAL
Huge, huge shift today. The Giants have a whole new corner infield. John Bowker and Steve Holm were optioned to Fresno and Jose Castillo was designated for assignment. Rohlinger, a third baseman, comes from Double-A Connecticut along with Sandoval, who can catch and play first base. Ishikawa was lighting it up at Triple-A Fresno. He switches spots with Bowker, who was hitting .154 since the All-Star break.

I dunno, maybe it’s just that they actually DFA’d Castillo, but all of a sudden, I have a much higher estimation of the Giants current level of intelligence.
