What a game by Cainer, one thing that helped him the most was having command of his curveball since the first inning and helping himself out hitting an rbi double

Fangraphs' Joe Pawlikowski wonders how long the Mariners can afford to keep putting Chone Figgins in the lineup. Pawlikowski also predicts that the Giants will release Miguel Tejada once Pablo Sandoval returns from the DL.

Ivan Rodriguez Not "The Answer" For Giants
By Mark Polishuk [June 8 at 7:16pm CST]

The Giants "don't consider [Ivan Rodriguez] the answer" for their catching problems, tweets USA Today's Bob Nightengale. San Francisco at least asked the Nationals about Rodriguez when Buster Posey was lost to a season-ending injury and are known to be looking for other options behind the plate.

Rodriguez is hitting just .205/.255/.330 in 95 plate appearances this season, while the man he'd be replacing, Eli Whiteside, collected two hits today to raise his line up to .190/.284/.293 in 67 plate appearances. While Whiteside is obviously nowhere close to Rodriguez's stature in career numbers, the negligble difference in what the two men have produced in 2011 makes it no surprise that the Giants aren't interested in matching Washington's reported high asking price for their veteran catcher.

The Giants selected Benny Sosnick out of Jewish Community High School of the Bay with their 49th round pick. Sosnick led Northern California high schoolers in batting average and is the younger brother of Matt Sosnick, the agent for Jay Bruce, Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco and others.

The Giants confirmed after Friday's game that Freddy Sanchez suffered a dislocated shoulder against the Reds.
He'll undergo an MRI on Saturday to check for ligament damage. He's probably DL bound regardless, but it's the ligaments that will detemine how long he'll be out. The Giants will probably go with Emmanuel Burriss at second base for now. Miguel Tejada could get a look at the position after Pablo Sandoval returns.

The Giants had another World Series ring presentation Friday.
In a private moment, general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy gave a ring to Reds outfielder Fred Lewis. He did not appear in a single game for the Giants in 2010, but he was on the team’s disabled list until his April 15 trade to Toronto, and the Giants felt he deserved one.
Lewis was stunned when he got a call earlier this season seeking his ring size.
