Pick him up and move Ishikawa.

That would be the smart move
Garko can be the main guy against LHP’s off the bench and can even platoon with Huff if/when Huff struggles against lefties. Unfortunately Bochy burned the bridge with Garko.

That's why he traded Scott Barnes for him!

I doubt it's only partly because he's 'sucking'.
They just don’t really have room for him.
He’s a fine hitter.

Whoops.. I mean..
I’m sure it’s only partly for ‘sucking’.
Doubt? ftw

He used to be a fine hitter, but those days are getting more and more distant. I’m not sure anyone would have a roster spot for him anymore. How useful is a mediocre right-handed pinch hitter who can’t play the field?
Well..
He really hasn’t played a whole lot this season, and was getting sparse playing time for the Giants last year.
Even so, his full 2009 season wasn’t horrible.
In all likelihood, he’s about the same hitter but he just hasn’t been given much time to play.
You’re probably right in the fact that he’s not very useful though, considering how many teams don’t have problems finding first basemen that can hit.

Just More Proof That Signing Huff Was The Right Move As Opposed To Going Thru Arb With Garko
By the way, Scott Barnes is sucking too to the tune of a 7.20 ERA with a 1.733 WHIP in 7 starts and 30 innings.

3.4% LD rate!!!
I think something might be wrong with him. Yeah, 38 PAs, but 3.4% LD is wack!
Yup, I wrote “wack”.

I don’t think those were the only options in the offseason.
I feel prickishly demanding!
I couldn't be prouder of my recent adoptee - Tim Lincecum's dealer. He provides the secret fuel behind both Cy Youngs. Also, he taught Timmy the change-up.

1) Garko is probably the same player but he just hasn’t played much. SSS
2) If the Giants had great foresight, they wouldn’t have even traded a decent prospect for him.
