Justin Christian Designated For Assignment
The Giants Designated Justin Christian for assignment today to make room on the 40 man roster for Guillermo Mota and Ryan Theriot, per Andrew Baggarly.

Predicting the San Francisco Giants’ 40-man roster and 2012 Opening Day lineup
There will likely be some more tinkering with the 40-man roster between now and Opening Day (April 5), but the San Francisco Giants have enough of their pieces in place to do a little rosterbating now.
