Here’s where we’ll keep track of today’s minor moves…
- The Giants signed left-hander Jason Stevenson from the independent Chico Outlaws and assigned him to Triple-A, according to the Pacific Coast League Transactions page. The Expos drafted Stevenson in back to back years, 1999 and 2000, signing him as a 12th rounder in 2000. He has a 4.58 ERA with 5.6 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 505 minor league innings since 2001, including one start with the Giants' top affiliate this year. Stevenson allowed eight hits, two walks and four earned runs in 6 1/3 innings, striking out seven for Fresno.
Apparently, teams place a lot of players on waivers to see what they can get for them… I have not seen any news on which Giants players have been placed on waivers.
With all the dead weight and dead money the Giants have, I would think the list of players placed on waivers would be a mile long. …maybe, just maybe someone would claim Rowand or someone else useless and save us some money, at the very least.

Heath bell’s on waivers, and the Giants will likely claim him to block AZ or PHI from getting him.
