Giants rookies worth keeping

Here's a preliminary list of yeas and nays for the 2009 Giants. Let me know if you agree, disagree. Also, subscribe to the blog at right and you'll get all the comments and posts sent to you.

Fred Lewis: Some clutch hits, above average fielder. But what's this about a bunion keeping him out of several games, and a mysterious "minor" quad injury that scratched him from tonight's game against the Reds (11-7 Reds won)?

Eugenio Velez: Yeah, I'd say keep him. Speed and hits.

John Bowker: Oooh, tough one. He started off so hot with back-to-back homers in his first two games. Damon Bruce on Sportsphone 680 was calling him "Babe Bowker," life was good. Then he hit the All Star break and starting taking suck pills or something. He was like 0 for 120 and sent back to Triple-A Fresno. He's got heart though.

Nate Schierholz: Dump this guy. His outfield skills are just awful. He had a particularly poor outing in June against the White Sox in left field, falling all over himself. So what he made a big play in the Olympics? Stateside that doesn't mean sh*t. I guess he's not on the 40-man roster, so whatever.

Pablo Sandoval: Oh hell yeah. This guy has made more of an impression than just about anybody in the second half of the season.

Ivan Ochoa: He can bunt. Undecided

Emmanuel Buriss: Who? Undecided
