Giants return Johnson to Orioles
didnt get much of a chance, but after wellemeyer and mota's hot start, he was expendable. kinda surprised they didnt try to buy him out and stash him in fresno, though...

You’d think there would be room on the 25 man for a talented youngster, but I guess that’s just not the Giant’s way.
Also, queue dick jokes.
Please tell me we have moved past the dark ages of post hoc ergo propter hoc.
No way. We’re above that.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

Too many talented youngsters already on the 25 man.
I don't know about that, to the groin.

I have a feeling I will disagree with this when the 25 man is finalized, but you could be correct.

Also, I have a feeling I fell into the sarcasm.

Yup.

Yeah, I’d have taken him as a fifth starter to see how he did, but I’m not really that bummed.
Eagerly anticipating adding to my Giants family.

I had not adopted him, so I understand your feelings on the matter.

Back of the bullpen, in a mop up/long reliever role would have worked just fine too.
Juan Carlos Perez, please start hitting.
Definitely, and I think this is a bad personnel decision, I’m just not that upset over a guy I thought could be a fifth starter/long reliever.

Uh oh quincy…
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
The Kids: Lewis, Posey, Sandoval, Bowker, Schierholtz, Frandsen, Ishikawa, Amezaga... CHONE WAR projection= 12.7
Current Team: Rowand, Sanchez, DeRosa, Sandoval, Huff, Molina, Renteria, Schierholtz... CHONE WAR projection= 12.6

So how was The Chone War, anyway?

As the night folds its wings and descends, exposing the loose ends."
Proud adoptive parent of Sergio Romo. Looking forward to adopting Justin Smoak.
It was close, but it appears the Kids’ CHONE aptitude overcame their opponents’ number advantage.

‘Snowball’ Johnson
Utter frustration and futility.
Adopted 'nephew' to the ever avuncular and always awesome Jon Miller

If Mota makes the team over Johnson I'll be pissed
also, the Giants didn’t try to do a buyout because I think the Orioles really liked him, plus his dad is the O’s broadcaster
Adopted Giant: Mike Krukow.
Grab Some Pine, Meat
Kevin Frandsen: The best SS on the Giants roster
Hoping for BowkerMania to hit AT&T Park in 2010
Yeah, but let’s not get too excited yet. It’s still spring training after all. If he can keep this up in the regular season, then we’ll have something.
Sometimes, there's a man...well, he's the man for his time and place.
Pitching to contact. Not like that bum Lincecum.
Dumped Edgar Renteria and adopted Buster Posey. Biggest upgrade since George Jefferson moved up to a deluxe apartment on the east side!
