SF Giants Rumors – Burriss In, Wellemeyer Out, Sabean 3rd Base Blocking?
Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says multiple teams are interested in an elite amateur pitcher, Mexican 16-year-old right-hander Luis Heredia. The San Francisco Giants are among the teams that are interested, but the Pirates are a strong favorite to land him.
The Giants twitter account says the Giants have recalled Emmanuel Burriss from Triple-A and Todd Wellemeyer has been designated for assignment.
ESPN’s Buster Olney tweets there is a perception among some GM’s that the Giants are trying to prevent third basemen from reaching the Cardinals or (more). He’s basically saying the Giants are putting claims on guys on waivers so they can’t be claimed by other teams like the Cardinals, Braves, Padres etc. Now that’s what I call helping yourself without making a trade.
