's cousin. What? They did. Don't blame me when you jump to your own conclusions based on a misleading headline that I wrote in an obvious attempt to mislead you. This story is sourced and everything.
This is worth about a thousand comments. Sure, Denny Bautista couldn't hack it with the Royals or Pirates, but maybe he'll have a better chance with a roster that isn't so stacked. Seriously, though, this is one of my favorite parts of the offseason, weird as that may seem. I love the announcements of non-roster invitees. In addition to Bautista, the Giants signed "Left Behind" and "Growing Pains" star Kevin Cameron.
Bautista is the kind of a guy you stash in AAA because some front office or coach-type wants to take a stab at fixing him. Cameron is the kind of guy you stash in AAA, hoping he regains his health and strikeout stuff. Both are longshots to make the team, but so were Brandon Medders and Justin Miller.
Who will be this year's Andres Torres? Probably Andres Torres. But maybe we'll see one of these other guys this year,odds be damned.

From Sabean, whenever this move is made official:
I’ll say one thing about Fred. He was strong enough to be a whipping boy.
The first time he dropped a ball, we recognized that we still didn’t have any better options. That was not Fred’s fault. Later, he dropped a few more in games when it wouldn’t have mattered if I had only put together a competent offense. That was not Fred’s fault. We are at a crossroads in my mind, and apparently the fans, the press and some people in the clubhouse felt he needed to go.
Now we’re going to find out what they’re made of. We’ll see who’s strong enough to be the whipping boy now – maybe Nate. I can only hope it’s Nate, because whipping boys make it easy to hide my own shortcomings as a general manager. We’re going to find out who, when and how we’re going to step up. Right now, as we speak, we’re heading closer to last place than first place. I don’t know that that was Fred Lewis’s fault.

That seems a bit harsh. He’s been old for his level, obviously, but he had a .947 OPS at S-K, .851 at San Jose and .834 at Fresno. As a middle infielder, those aren’t too bad (obviously, it’s mostly good hitting environments.) But Frandsen’s record isn’t much better than that.

There is so much comedy gold in Baggs’ latest blog post:
…Bochy said he wants to keep as set a lineup as possible. He doesn’t envision first base being a platoon situation.
The top five hitters, as Bochy sees it today: Aaron Rowand, Freddy Sanchez, Pablo Sandoval, Aubrey Huff, Mark DeRosa.
Sabean did not sound disappointed about missing out on LaRoche, by the way: "It was a good twist of fate as things turned out where other avenues ended up not being pursued. This ended up being our best option and we’re glad it turned out this way."

Free agent first baseman Russell Branyan told Jim Street of MLB.com that there are a “couple of teams” interested in him.
He declined to name the teams, but is confident that a Major League contract offer is on its way. “I would be crazy not to think any other way,” Branyan said. “I hit 31 home runs and played well at first base. I’m not sure what to expect, but as I sit here right now, I expect to be playing in the Major Leagues next season.” The 34-year-old first baseman batted .251/.347/.520 with a career-high 31 home runs and 76 RBI last season
Interesting… I wouldn’t be surprised if the deal he gets is similar to the one we just gave Huff.

From Baggs notes, a Sabean quote:
Sabean echoed those sentiments, saying, "The more we examined what he has done and what we need, we thought this would be a good fit. He’s a fourth hitter who’s been a run producer and quite frankly he’s got the track record we were looking for. Even in a down year he drove in 85 runs which is something we needed.

If a guy consistently has a bunch of RBIs, here’s why:
1) he has a lot of opportunities (probably hits third, fourth, or fifth)
2) he hits for power, as obviously extra base hits drive in more guys than singles
very distant 3rd) he’s one of the very few players who consistently hits better with runners on base
At the extremes, Manny Ramirez might drive in more guys hitting eighth than Neifi Perez would batting fourth, but it’s a function of power and nothing else…

Using the game logs on baseball reference that jponry pointed me to, I found that Huff drove in about 21% of all runners on base in 2009, while Branyan drove in 23%. To give a sense of perspective, Pujols drove in 28%, while Willie Bloomquist drove in 11%.
Huff had 597 plate appearances, in which he came up with 406 runners on base (216 on first, 127 on second, and 63 on third). Branyan had 505 plate appearances, in which he came up with 335 runners on base (173 on first, 95 on second, and 67 on third).
In other words, Huff drove in 85 runs with his opportunities including 190 runners in scoring position, while Branyan drove in 76 runs with his opportunities including 162 runners in scoring position.
