Will Bochy really sit Renteria?

sunnyd100 — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:01:34 -0000

In reading different reactions to the Sanchez trade, I have read several people say one of the benefits of this move is that it allows Bochy to bench Renteria and put Uribe in his place. Theoretically, this sounds like a good idea, as Uribe has been the better offensive player, and couldn't be that much of a defensive downgrade.

My issue is that I just cannot see Bochy benching Renteria. It is my impression that Bochy will only pull the plug on young kids, and is much more reluctant to sit a "proven major league shortstop." So, while I do like the idea of Uribe taking Renteria's spot for the time being, I am skeptical that it will really end up working out like this. We may see a bit more of Uribe at SS than we would have otherwise, but I still envision the majority of the starts going to Renteria.

Am I the only one who is feeling this way?

Alumni autographs?

Hello Pirates fans,

I am a Giants fan who is coming from out of town to visit your beautiful ballpark tomorrow. I heard about the alumni autographs promotion (John Smiley, Grant Jackson, etc) and I was interested. It seems like this is a semi-regular sort of thing, so I was wondering if anyone had been a part of this before. Is it an absolute madhouse? Should I get there ahead of time? Any additional info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have been looking for this forever. My dad and I were at this game, sitting around 20-30 rows behind home. We were actually sitting with the Giants' families. Will Clark's little brother was sitting a couple rows in front of us, and Kevin Mitchell's grandma was a row behind us. My favorite sports memory ever.

Hello McCoven,

I have a yahoo league that is drafting on Saturday. The league id is: 142928 and the password is: hgh. We could really use a player or two, and I am sure that it will be fun.
