I'm still on the DO, and I'm actually updating this from my Moto Droid with my leg in this crazy motorized bending machine. Anyway, Sabean, perhaps too gunshy from backfired deadline deals such as Shea Hillenbrand and Ryan Garko, decided to play this one safe-- if not overly lame. The Giants we're connected to a ton of players. Adam Dunn, Scotty Downs, Jose Bautista, Corey Hart, Scotty Podsednik as well as a multitude of others. With the bullpen the most glaring issue, Sabean added two relievers, a matching lefty/righty combo with Hispanic names. Firstly, John Bowker and Joe Martinez we're sent to Pittsburgh for LHP Javier Lopez. Lopez is a lefty specialist that is under control for 2011. This year he has a 2.79 ERA in 38.2 innings. Obviously this was a huge need and I really hope Johnny Bowker gets a real shot to succeed in Pittsburgh, something I constantly harped on this year. Here's the link for Lopez: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...
