"More than likely [he'll be out] both days," Bochy said. "He's pretty sore. He wants to play. This is my decision. At this point, ...

Jorge Cantu is the guy after the Marlins placed Jose Castillo on waivers and didn't pull him back when the Giants claimed him. As recently as a week ago I think the Marlins were giving serious thought to carrying both Cantu and Castillo. That changed when they determined Cantu wouldn't be a defensive liability, leaving them to decide whether Castillo or Jason Wood would be the better option off the bench. The ...

The Giants put out a press release: they've signed Aaron Rowand to a five-year deal. We'll reserve judgment until we hear the amount, but this just doesn't seem logical for a team not expected to compete for at least two years. The 30 year-old Rowand had one of his best years in '07, hitting .309/.374/.515 while playing 161 games. It's fair to say he's a plus in the field as well. The Giants' 5th overall pick is protected, so the Phillies ...

Technically, the Giants declined their one-year, $1 million option on Walker before signing him.
