Who’s getting released / demoted? I hope it’s Aurilia. But I doubt it. Velez?

It might be, considering that Uribe will come back too.
Of course, knowing the Giants it will turn out to be Ishikawa and Frandsen. But still, a boy can hope.

I’m guessing Velez/Frandeson down, Uribe and Jesus in. Of course, that still leaves Torres without a spot.

He said he could get a late inning pinch hit tonight

More notes from Sabean on KNBR
Guzman is up mostly to pinch hit, some dh in Seattle.
Bowker will split his time between 1st base and right field now that Guzman is up.
Fred’s got more bunion troubles.
Schierholz to see more time in right with Winn in left.
Ishikawa’s great defensively but not so much with the bat – he may sit more and come in as a late inning, defensive replacement.
Regarding Adam Dunn: We didn’t want to see him playing right field [for us] in our ball park.

Good. Because he would have been fine at 1B.

After all those lazy fly balls he hit last year, he probably wouldn’t have wanted to come here anyway.

Oh no. That would mean a lot more of Rich Aurilia starting.

No, I think he means that Guzman will play there.
by Merope on May 21, 2009 5:25 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
On your first sentence, you said mainly to pinch hit. So I would assume it’s Aurilia at first unless they will go with the Uribe at 3rd and Pablo at 1st.
by SFGuy on May 21, 2009 5:33 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Aurilia’s been worse that T-Ish, though. That’s the main reason for Jesus to be called up.
by tyrannoman on May 21, 2009 5:34 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Guzman will be available tonight and DH tomorrow at Seattle. He will get some work at 1B after that.
From here.

From the sounds of things, might as well put him on the 60 year DL – that makes me sad :(

the shift in the active roster may be more interesting
because Velez and Franny and TI are supposedly in the lineup tonight. Burriss down? Nah.

Guzman ? Get that man 125-150 P.A.‘s or leve him down to work his glove.
Big Head? No 125-150 P.A.’s for Guzman then no extra rope.

I guess this will prevent Bochy from removing Pablo for Uribe late in the game, so it’s not that bad of a move.

As in outrighted off the roster or just sent down?

That’s all well and good but Guzman wasn’t on the 40 man roster. Who gets outrighted then to make room?
