sfgiantsflgators Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 May 21, 2007 Schierholtz Gets the Call; Niekro DFA'd SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - The San Francisco Giants announced today that another prospect will be making the jump from Fresno; this time in the form of outfielder Nate Schierholtz. Schierholtz will join former minor-league teammate Eddy Martinez-Esteve in San Francisco and will be available to play tonight versus Houston. The Giants hope that Schierholtz will make the same impact that EME has since his debut. EME has hit .283 with five home runs and nine RBI since being called up. Schierholtz started the season in Class-AA Connecticut, hitting just .233 with two home runs and 20 RBI. He was called up to Class-AAA Fresno a little less than a month ago and has been on fire since, hitting .429 with two home runs and six RBI in just 28 at bats. As a result of the move, first baseman Lance Niekro has been designated for assignment. According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, there aren't a lot of teams interested and Niekro could end up in Fresno. Cove Shots: Another move was made today as Randy Walter was promoted to Fresno. Walter hit .314 with one home run and 10 RBI with Connecticut this season. He posted an OBP of .405.

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Question: I thought about doing this (and probably should have done) before starting the dynasty, but I didn't. What's your take on doing it now? I have CPU trades turned off because I don't like the trades they make. I thought they would still sign free agents, but alas, they don't. Also, I have Klesko, Durham, Roberts, etc. in the farm system and obviously won't be using them in this dynasty. So I'm thinking about releasing those guys and turning CPU trades on so they will sign players. I guess I could use the Team Changer to undo trades I don't agree with. Thoughts?

kgbaseball Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I would try to trade those guys and bring in some younger talent - maybe not MLB talent, but guys who might make an impact down the road (if you get that far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that - but technically, they were never signed by the Giants in the world I've created. So I don't know how I feel about getting young guys for players I don't technically have the rights for I think I'm just going to throw them all in the free agent pool and go from there. I'm going to control two things: 1. trades I don't agree with 2. Roger Clemens won't sign until after the ASG and will go to either Boston, New York, or Houston...depending on who is in the best position for a playoff run.

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 And hopefully the plane will go into the Bermuda Triangle? That would be actually sad. Well if Benitez is on a plane, they just need to aim it TOWARDS the Triangle to be safe; because we all know that things don't go where Blownitez aims them.

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 May 21, 2007 Giants Finally Find Taker for Benitez, Get Petit From Florida SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - The San Francisco Giants announced today that the long-rumored trade of Armando Benitez has finally gone through. All through spring training, the Giants and Florida Marlins discussed a potential trade that would send Benitez to Florida for Yusmeiro Petit. The hang up has continued to be Benitez's salary, which Florida wanted the Giants to pay all of. In the end, it was agreed that Florida will pay the equivalent of the Major League minimum and the Giants will take care of the rest. Petit will report to Class-AAA Fresno.

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 next time a outfielder gets hurt u should bring up jason. by the way how has threets been doing in the minors cuase i no he can hit 100mph on the radar Threets is in Fresno right now: 18 IP, 7 ER, 11 K, 6 BB As for Ellison, it would probably take two injuries...I'm higher on Ortmeier than I am Jason (and Dan has hit 10 points higher than Ellison in Fresno so far this season). We'll see how it goes - if Jason turns it on, he might get the call. The main focus right now though is on Schierholtz.

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 May 21, 2007 Linden Drives in Six as Giants Continue Dominance of Houston with 10-1 Victory Wandy Rodriguez made quick work of the Giants in the first two innings; but his struggles against San Francisco would continue in the bottom of the third when he loaded the bases for Todd Linden (pic- tured). One swing later, the Giants were up 4-0. Matt Cain reaches on an error by Rodriguez in the fifth inning. The Giants would capitalize on the error when the next hitter, Randy Winn, hit a three-run home run to give the Giants a 7-0 lead. Nate Schierholtz made his major league debut when he pinch hit for Randy Winn in the bottom of the seventh inning. He drew a walk. Later, in the eighth inning, Schierholtz would strike out in his first of- ficial at bat. Matt Cain picked up his fourth win tonight, allowing just one run on seven hits while striking out four in seven innings. Astros manager Phil Garner watches on as his squad drops yet another one-sided contest to the Giants. Scoring B8: Linden GS B8: Winn three run HR T7: Ensberg solo HR B8: Linden double scores Schierholtz, Vizquel; Molina sacrifice fly scores Linden W – Cain (4-3) L – Rodriguez (0-4) Game Notes: The Giants have outscored Houston 92-30 since the beginning of the 2006 season...San Francisco has won six of their last 10 matchups by nine or more runs.

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Man, 9 hits each and you win 10-1. Amazing! I've really had some great luck during this seven game win streak. The balls that were getting caught in April are starting to fall now...thank God too because it was starting to **** me off Nine of those 10 runs against Houston last game came on three swings: grand slam by Linden, three-run home run by Winn, and a two-run double by Linden. Now if the Bums would quit winning (29-16), I could actually make up some ground. Won seven straight and I'm still 4.5 back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 May 22, 2007 Sweeney's Walk-Off Gives Giants Eighth Straight Win Roy Oswalt (left) and Noah Lowry (right) were both stellar tonight, going seven innings a piece with Oswalt striking out seven and Lowry two. Oswalt left the game with a 2-1 lead. Randy Winn scores on a wild pitch by Roy Oswalt in the fourth inning. It was the only run Oswalt would allow. Brad Ausmus singles home Adam Everett in the fifth inning. Ausmus would later score on a single by Mark Loretta to give the Astros a 2-1 lead. Forever linked: Fernando Nieve delivered the pitch that Nate Schierholtz would line up the middle for his first Major League hit in the eighth inning. An error by Astros first baseman Mike Lamb allowed Randy Winn to reach safely in the eighth inning, giving the Giants an extra out in the frame. A Todd Linden sacrifice fly two batters later would allow the Giants to capitalize on the mistake, tying the game 2-2. (Left) Mark Sweeney (9) and Randy Winn celebrate Sweeney's walk-off home run, giving the Giants their eighth straight victory. (Right) The Astros have now lost six of their last eight; five of which have come at the hands of San Francisco.
