MIKE FONTENOT RUMORS
Giants Notes & Quotes: Giants Choose Fontenot
INF Mike Fontenot was tendered a contract, and INF Jeff Keppinger was not. The Giants were going to tender just one, and they kept Fontenot because of his ability to play shortstop -- a need considering young SS Brandon Crawford is in line to be the starter.

Mike Fontenot agrees to one-year deal with the Giants
According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLB Trade Rumors, Mike Fontenot and the Giants have agreed to a one-year deal for 2012. This almost certainly guarantees that Jeff Keppinger will be non-tendered, as Brian Sabean had said that it would be one or the other. The Giants definitely made the right decision here: Fontenot is a solid defender at second, and he can play a passable third...

The Great Keppinger vs. Fontenot Debate Ends Tonight
The deadline to tender a contract to players eligible for arbitration is at midnight eastern time tonight and the Giants have a few decisions left to make.
The main event for tonight revolves around the Giants choosing between infielders Jeff Keppinger and Mike Fontenot as their backup second baseman/utility infielder. To me the choice really isn't that hard, I am a fan...

Arbitration Eligible: Mike Fontenot
After hitting .227/.304/.377 in 252 plate appearances (85 games) this season, Mike Fontenot enters his third year of arbitration eligibility. Though the numbers — particularly the low batting average — don’t exactly jump off the page, he was quietly a solid producer at the plate. His walk rate (9.9%) was a notch above league average, and though he’s not much...

VIDEO: Watch Mike Fontenot run into a brick wall…, er umpire
Trying to find something interesting, funny, or smile-worthy from yesterday’s playoff-hopes-extinguishing loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks isn’t easy. The Giants, who got their asses handed to them 15-2, looked nothing like the team we’ve become accustomed to watching the past two years.
Great pitching? Nope. A franchise-record 13 walks is very uncharacteristic...

SF Giants Rumors, No On Ellis, Giants Looking For A Run Producer
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says team insiders say they are not seriously pursuing A’s second baseman Mark Ellis. The reasons are money left on his contract, Mike Fontenot‘s return and their concentration on finding a run producer (let’s hope this happens). I think the Giants are fine at second base with the guys they already have on the team....

Mike Fontenot, Number Three Hitter
For an offense that's struggled mightily thus far, number-three-hitter Mike Fontenot has been one of the few good stories. He's hit .250/.358/.518 over 67 plate appearances, good for a wRC+ of 139 (39% better than the major-league average hitter).
A lot of his 2011 performance can be attributed to improved plate discipline numbers.
He's making more contact than usual...

Fontenot No More
The Cajun Hobbit is gone. In what is hardly breaking news at this point, the Cubs have dealt Mike Fontenot to the San Francisco Giants for Evan Crawford, who is rumored to be of normal height. Luckily for Mike and his stubby little legs, the Cubs were in San Fran at the time of the trade so he didn't need to walk very far to join his new team. We all know how hobbits hate...
