Quick technical roster questions
Of the position players in the mix, who still has options left?
How soon could Posey be called up while preserving the extra year on his arb clock?
Thanks
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
I believe somewhere in June, Buster can come up w/o losing the extra year
Bowker still has options and Frandsen too, maybe Velez?
Win the inning.

From Baggs:
No DH accommodation for an AL opponent. Looks like the Giants’ opening day lineup minus Rowand, who has a sore quad.
CF Velez
SS Renteria
3B Sandoval
1B Huff
LF DeRosa
C Molina
2B Uribe
RF Schierholtz
P J. Sanchez
I am assuming he also meant minus Timmy being the pitcher. I hope.

You can download the MLB At Bat 2010 app for $15 and listen to Giants games. And if you’re already an iTunes user, you can ditch your iPod. And there are a lot of solid free apps if you don’t like giving people your money (like Solitaire and Minesweeper; hey, what’d you expect?). And the touchscreen keyboard isn’t that bad, plus it gives you more screen space, which I like.
Goodbye, Steven Johnson, we hardly knew ye. Seriously, that was short.
Ditch my ipod? How many songs can this thing hold? 8GB.

Rotation Lineup
Would the team better be served with a rotation lineup of:
Lincecum
Sanchez
Cain
Zito
Wellemeyer/Pucetas
Having Sanchez and 5th starter back to back could overtax the pen a couple of days in a row.
If you’re concerned about the ‘pen I’d put Cain fourth; I have more confidence in his abilities to get deeper into a game than Zito’s. And actually, what if we had:
Lincecum
Zito
Sanchez
Cain
Wellemeyer THEN Pucetas (or the other way around). Have Wellemeyer throw three, then Pucetas throws three, and you’ve got yourself a start! And they’d probably be okay to throw an inning or two the next day. Having two reliever/starters might work out if neither of them can be full-time starters but they’re too good to be relievers.

This spring, Molina has 4 RBIs, and Frandsen has 3.
And Frandsen can at least make it to 2nd on a ground rule double where as Molina. Well, er.. someday.

OT: Do any of you get badgered about getting a new car? I have an old 9 series volvo wagon, which I love to bits but everyone is bugging me about getting a new car.
Crazy Crab despised in the 20th century and beloved in the 21st century. Hey it only took over 20 years, so don't give up hope.
which people?
if it is your wife, then listen. if your boss, possibly listen.
otherwise, tell em to piss off.

It’s family mainly and I’m the female, I think it’s because I just (today) put a new set of tires on it. The car has high performance tires, wotcha gonna do.
I do tell them to FO, I usually say that the seat is formed perfectly around my ass, and no one hugs my ass like that. That usually shuts them up for a while.

Tell them the disposable culture is destroying the planet and as long as your current one is functional, you will not be responsible for the environmental impact of a new vehicle.
I would volunteer to do some hug testing, but mt wife would probably frown on that…
Utter frustration and futility.

I don't know about that, to the groin.

Do you live in LA? The only place I’ve been hassled about my car is in that superficial dump.

Gar-ticle
There was an article on a supposedly healthy, resurgent Edgar Renteria by Henry Schulman in today’s Chronicle. The article contained this quote:
“I feel good. I’m getting exited.”
Does this mean Edgar will maybe be DFA’ed?
Seasons will pass you by. I get up, I get down.

Any mention about his shape and relation to the other shapes of his career?

Most of his career he’s either been trapezoidal or hexagonal. Last year, he spent most of the season as an isosceles triangle. This spring, Edgar says he’s angling towards being a parallelogram, which would easily be the best shape of his career.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
A little. I hope he’s all right.

LOL Gameday
Credits Romo, not Posey, with the double that drove in the go-ahead run. No doubt, Sabean will see this and option Posey, figuring that Romo can handle late-inning PH duties.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
Not only did Romo drive in the run ...
but MLB Gameday has him catching as well. The man has skills.

Waiting for the promise land, when Steve Decker is our head coach and Bork is drinking Margaritas on someone else's time.
and our prayers are answered

Did Doug Greenwald just call Wilson ‘Weezy’ or am I hearing things?

Terrible day for Posey
1 AB,and nothing to show for it. Too bad Romo got the game winning RBI and the win!

Well with Romo prepped, we can send both Whiteside and Posey down to Fresno, and have an extra pitcher!

If any of you is outside the Giants TV market, you can watch Saturday’s game on a one hour tape delay on MLB Network.
