TEAMS:
San Francisco Giants,
Los Angeles Dodgers,
Washington Nationals
PLAYERS: Freddy Sanchez, Orlando Hudson, Blake DeWitt, Ronnie Belliard
PLAYERS: Freddy Sanchez, Orlando Hudson, Blake DeWitt, Ronnie Belliard
Sure, oft-injured Freddy Sanchez, who played only 25 games with San Francisco after coming over from Pittsburgh midseason. Sanchez, who had shoulder and knee problems this year, batted only .284/.295/.324, the last of which (slugging average) is almost 100 points lower than his career average:
The Giants, who were in contention for the NL wild-card spot until the last week of the regular season, are convinced Sanchez’s health issues are over.
“One of our goals and priorities this season is to get a more consistent lineup out there on a daily basis, and Freddy does that,” manager Bruce Bochy said during a conference call. “His history is that he plays every day. To have him at the top of your order pretty much every day is going to do a lot for this lineup.”
Sanchez is expected to bat second for the Giants, though Bochy said he will occasionally use Sanchez in the third slot.
So it's only Sanchez, true. But it does address that hole that the Giants had at second base, a hole the Dodgers also have if we don't sign Orlando Hudson or Ronnie Belliard nor figure out if Blake DeWitt or Chin-Lung Hu are worthy of a full-time slot. It does, however, serve as a nice reminder how other teams in the NL West are looking to get stronger, while we are looking to trade press salvos and incur legal fees.
