Meanwhile, Huff was OK for a while, but lately has been giving up more runs than someone who wants to stay on a MLB roster should be doing.<br /><br />Right now I think that Casilla's return will push Kontos back to AAA, even though he has pitched well enough to stay, then when Belt returns, that might be when Huff could be DFAed. If he pitches bad enough, he'll make it through waivers and in Fresno.<br /><br />Though the way Kontos is pitching, who knows, maybe Huff's time is even shorter.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-59378704600049476182014-06-02T22:01:01.162-07:002014-06-02T22:01:01.162-07:00They are seeing if they want to stay with Huff, or...They are seeing if they want to stay with Huff, or go back to Dan Runzler again. Petit says if I get to start again, please do not make it on a day that Matt Cain was scheduled to pitch, as he would like some run support. nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-8926951592274244792014-06-02T10:50:55.066-07:002014-06-02T10:50:55.066-07:00Excuse me ...

With Adrianza & Perez aboard, he was clearly only the 23rd man on the Team. The guy has 2 WS titles to his name & contributed to each of them - give him some respect. Throw in Huff & Kontos, & I think that you can safely say that Arias is at least the 21st man on the Team.Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-74852933044457534662014-06-02T07:43:53.232-07:002014-06-02T07:43:53.232-07:00Whoda thunk the weak links on the Giants would be ...Whoda thunk the weak links on the Giants would be Lincecum and Cain?Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-10024109214168488722014-06-02T06:37:24.484-07:002014-06-02T06:37:24.484-07:00I'm surprised MOC didn't mention that he a...I'm surprised MOC didn't mention that he and I were just discussing Mr Arias. I, of course, was commenting on how poor he was doing and that it was time to toss him. MOC heartily disagreed. Yes we were arguing over the 25 th man on the team. If that seems silly then I think you are at the wrong blog. Anyway, boy howdy was I wrong!!! Joaquin was a god yesterday. I take full credit btw. <br />This team is amazing at this point. What a joy. I hope I'm wrong like that all season longJC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666659454815710731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-58886796162649393472014-06-01T19:17:37.015-07:002014-06-01T19:17:37.015-07:00Huff looked pretty good.
