Can Guzman play any 2B. He's still 24 (turns 25 in June), and seems to have some more pop than Frandsen. I think they're better off giving Frandsen a shot at 2B, moving Burriss back to SS in Fresno, and going with a six-man bench of Holm, Schierholtz, Velez, Uribe (SS-2B), Guzman (3B-2B), and Aurilia (1B-3B). Once Renteria leaves, they can slide Burriss in, or let him compete with a FA or any of their other young prospects (Crawford) in 2011.

You know how they love "experience." I don't think the Giants want Frandsen to play short on anything other than an emergency basis. Remember last year the first plan after Vizquel got hurt was for Frandsen to play SS, but they shelved that quickly.

I've heard talk of them keeping 11 pitchers, leaving 6 bench spots for position players - do you think Frandsen becomes a 2B-SS utility, and they keep a guy like Jesus Guzman over Juan Uribe as the 3B-2B role?

It was in the low 70s this afternoon, and cooled down quickly at night. I think it's supposed to warm up this week. It’s actually a little cooler than expected so far.
