unfortunately
I can see Sabes signing him now especially if the Royals are paying most if his contract

Threat level that the 2010 Pads finish with more wins than the 2010 Giants is currently at: 61%

Sabes will probably pounce
Just because it makes no sense. The only roster OF that we have that Guillen would outperform is Rowand, not that Bochy would slot him in the part-timer role that Rowand is in. We would inevitably see an outfield of Huff/Burrell, Rowand, Guillen. My eyes would bleed.

Hopefully Susan ensures this report never makes it to Sabes.

Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?
IT Guy: That’s how often they get on base. I do not know why you keep asking me, I am here to fix your server.
Ugh… the Bautista/Wellemeyer move conveniently leaves an open space on the 40-man roster.

according to ESPN’s Jayson Stark:
All those Jose Guillen trade rumors turned out to be nothing more than wishful Royals thinking. The Royals never had one team pursue Guillen seriously.so all that bullshit about the Giants supposedly scouting him was, shocking enough, bullshit.

I don't see a big problem, as long as he's a bench player.
It would be nice to have a decent right handed pinch hitter.
As long as he’s a bench player.

We already have one of those
He’s either called Pat Burrell or Aaron Rowand.

If Rowand isn't a decent bench player
then Guillen isn’t either.
"I don’t think I’ve ever heard a louder chorus of boos than when the Dodgers made the third out of the ninth. It was awesome.." - Aubrey Huff
Rowand's a fine bench player, but mostly because of his defense.
Guillen’s a better pinch hitter (at least this season, we’re talking about pretty small differences here)
It’s a false dichotomy anyway, they’d both be on the team. The question is whether Guillen is more useful as a PH than Casilla or Wellemeyer is as the 13th pitcher.
VAE PVTO DEVS FIO
None of the above
I’d rather have a backup infielder than either a 6th outfielder or an 8th man in the bullpen.
It’s not really a false dichotomy because my point was that Guillen is superfluous on a roster that already includes Rowand and Burrell.
"I don’t think I’ve ever heard a louder chorus of boos than when the Dodgers made the third out of the ninth. It was awesome.." - Aubrey Huff
We alrady have a backup middle infielder.
We just need to figure out how to get Sanchez out of the lineup.

Seriously, though, why would we another middle infielder? unless he’s better than the ones we’ve got (and such a player seems unlikely to clear waivers).
VAE PVTO DEVS FIO
Because the ones we have are Uribe, Sanchez, and Renteria
Sanchez is slumping, Uribe is gimpy, and Renteria looks very much over the hill. Sandoval looks like he could use a day or two off as well.
"I don’t think I’ve ever heard a louder chorus of boos than when the Dodgers made the third out of the ninth. It was awesome.." - Aubrey Huff
Guillen would be the 5th outfielder, no? Unless you’re counting Huff as an outfielder.
Thing A
"Correlation between inability to use the reply button and general crappiness of analysis: pretty high." -Sleepy Freud
I am counting Huff as an outfielder
It’s where he’s gotten the vast majority of his starts the last two months.
"I don’t think I’ve ever heard a louder chorus of boos than when the Dodgers made the third out of the ninth. It was awesome.." - Aubrey Huff
I wouldn't count Burrell as an outifelder, more of DH.
But Guillen isn’t much better.
VAE PVTO DEVS FIO
hey
Burrell hits homers against the Dodgers
