Re Hayden Birdsong, I think he has seen all of the automatic umpires he needs to. He’s in the right place now and good things happen when you are on the 25 man roster.
Thanks for bringing in another perspective on the 5th starter spot / Birdsong questions. That was very helpful and makes me feel better the Giants are doing the right thing with him now.
Luciano. 5-33 with 12 K’s. Sigh. The spot is there for the taking. Koss is a nice 13th player in many ways. Gifted defender and can run. But he’s not going to hit much.
Luciano forcing the issue is what i believe the organization is hoping. But he has to perform. It’s early season wise. But it’s getting late for him organization wise. If he’s not up by July 15, I think his chances of ever helping the Giants will be slim. Sure, there is the Ramos example. But that’s rare. And while I don’t know this – I’d bet a fair amount of money that the Giants tried to trade him before the beginning of last season. Fortunately, his value at that time wasn’t very high. It is now.
