Outside of on-field performance, there’s a few things that will always endear me to a pitcher. Stirrups, check. Weird facial hair, check. Funky pitching motions, double-check. As a fan of the Giants and their farm system, sometime around 2007 Sergio Romo caught my eye when he completely devastated the California League. If you ever read [...]

We’ve barely entered the month of May for Giants baseball and I’m finding that more and more my gaze is turning towards minor league boxscores. I’m still enjoying the MLB team with Pablo Sandoval, Tim Lincecum, (good) Randy Johnson, and some others but with the Dodgers hot start and the Giants offense still looking like [...]

Four relievers enter but only one can leave. A post today on four potential relievers that the Giants might consider to replace Sergio Romo if his elbow prevents him from beginning the year with the Giants. The four relievers are: Billy Salder, Justin Miller, Brandon Medders, and Osiris Matos. For now, I’m assuming that either [...]

Rebuilding the bullpen for 2009 was a major goal for the Giants over this offseason. They added some free agent arms in Affeldt and Howry, but the team was also counting on homegrown pitcher, Sergio Romo, to be in the mix. Unfortunately, Romo is battling an elbow strain and could miss the next 10 days [...]

Quick Update: You may have seen this post sometime last week but I had to take it down after some of my numbers didn’t jive. I’d like to thank McCovey Chronicles for helping me correct some of the finer points of the data and getting it back online. We are going to look at Giants [...]

I’m going light on the content today because my head feels like a fishbowl; sloshing around with any movement I make. This is what you get for having a cold and taking DayQuil. Why is it that the medication you take when you’re sick often makes you feel worse than your ailments? But, I digress. [...]

I’ve been a fan of Sergio Romo since his breakout season in the California League last year. His numbers from that year are, as the kids say: video game numbers. He struck out 104 hitters in 65.2 innings pitched. It was an impressive season. But, Romo never got much pub from prospect hounds because his [...]

..ly stupid. Did Sergio Romo just get DFA’d by accident? From Andrew Baggarly’s blog: I’m told that Romo was still on revocable trade waivers when the Giants optioned him, which is not allowed. Therefore, he was designated for assignment. I’m told that trade waivers supercede in this case…so it’s a bit tangled. Will the Giants [...]

A little bullpen shuffle today. The Giants have designated Vinnie Chulk for assignment and called up Sergio Romo from Connecticut. From SFGiants.com: Chulk, 29, will spend 72 hours on waivers while the Giants try to trade him, which is unlikely to happen. He indicated that if he isn’t claimed, he would decline an outright assignment [...]
