Hector Has 2 Weeks to Produce
I like the move to bring Sanchez up. Even though he isn’t hitting for power in Fresno he’s got to be a better offensive threat than either of the guys we trot out there these days. Sabean is taking a look at this kid NOW, maybe it’s one less piece he has to go get before the trade deadline. No harm in seeing what’s in-house. I’m a little worried about his game calling ability but we’ve got a vet staff that SHOULD know how to call their own game anyway…..
Nice to see Ross get going a bit. He’s been hitting the ball much better lately, though he has only the one HR in his last 7 at bats. I think Bochy sees that Ross might be entering one of his hot streaks and will play him more over the next week. Rowand will start today in place of Torres. His average has come down a bit vs lefties this year but he’s still hitting .350 against them with an OPS near .900–that train gets ridden until it runs out of coal……..

A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Burriss is a vestigial player now. He’s confirmed his AAAAness; he hasn’t even saved himself by showing defense. He uses a Klank brand of glove. I don’t think I’ve seen many, if any, MLB players with so little power, aka none. He’s the new Kuiper, with a lower average. At the deadline, he’s going down, or out. Nice kid, but he’s not a major leaguer….
Snarkk doesn’t like him! What else is new?
just one game. i think it’s better to lose by a lot than a little. being able to win the close ones is the key to success in the post season. so i’d rather they lose a laugher than a close one.
Cain tomorrow. And go US women!
