Nate Schierholtz

At the beginning of the season, I wouldn’t have doubted that the Giants would at least get back to the NLCS, but as of today, you start to wonder if they’ll even make it to the post season. Not because they suck or they have been playing horribly, but because pretty much the entire team is injured [...]

In the aftermath of Buster Posey’s injury, we’ve already heard rumors about the Giants contacting the Nationals about Ivan Rodriguez, but according to Andrew Baggarly of the Mercury News, the Giants have another viable option right now. We’re talking about the catcher who Posey replaced last season, Bengie Molina. Baggarly contacted Molina earlier today to ask [...]

Giants catcher Buster Posey was hurt in a collision yesterday and the news regarding his health is bad.

Teams were reportedly looking at [...]

The reigning World Champions, San Francisco Giants, have been trying to shop outfielder Aaron Rowand lately, but apparently nobody is interested. Today, Andrew Baggarly of Mercury News notes that either Nate Schierholtz or Travis Ishikawa or maybe both maybe traded if Brandon Belt finally makes the team out of Spring Training. “If Belt forces his way [...]

When the Texas Rangers contacted the San Francisco Giants about their interest in disgruntled infielder Michael Young, the Rangers told them, “Don’t even bother bringing up [Aaron] Rowand’s name,” Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports. Rowand is at best a player to come off the bench for the defending World Series champions, and [...]
