Friday Extra

Guzman continues to slug. He could make the squad. We need his bat, but I hear his glove's not ready. Me? I don't think this is the time to be timid or safe.

Reading Extra Baggs a blog by the Merc's Giants beat writer Andrew Baggarly.

He says the Giants are looking to upgrade at backup catcher and long relief for Taschner, Rule 5 draftee Luis Perdomo, Merkin Valdez, or Eugenio Velez. Also, he adds, Andres Torres might make the squad. I think they really like Perdomo.

But, here's the guy they just got: Sergio Santos? Nope, I don't get it either. Here's a nice story, though. Back to the Merc for Baggs take.
