Who???
nwwh
Mets? Conforto to aaa?
James7430
Would be a decent move. That poor kid is wasting away on the bench. Hopefully next year they give him a chance once some of the vets leave

He’s going to go down when Lagares is back up.
James7430
I hope so. I’m a Phils fan but I like the kid and wish he would just get a chance. This up and down stuff is ridiculous. He’s shown enough to get a chance, but only because of bad contracts still on the book, he hasn’t received one.

Can Upton come out of the pen for the Giants?
BusterMove
Ouch. (Hilarious)
pustule bosey
well if he did he may be better than what we have now.

Last time I looked the Giants were starting Aaron Hill in left field; certainly Upton is an improvement on that, even just defensively. The Padres are paying full freight on the contract so it’s not like anybody is making a big sacrifice by signing him.
pustule bosey
yeah right now improving anything is a good thing – there has been zero production out of left field unless you count hill who has only played a couple of times there, but parker and morreroso far are 0 for the season.
thegreatcerealfamine
Upton is in no means an improvement.
davidcoonce74
Upton played fairly well last year in the NL West and is certainly an improvement over playing a no-hit backup infielder in left.

Connorsoxfan
Well he called it after all!
darkstar61
…and poor Carlos Moncrief had just made it back onto the Sacramento roster yesterday
JoeyPankake
I know he has been bad for quite a while but at this point I think d take him over Span.

Remember when everyone thought that the Giants were nuts going into the season with Parker and Williamson in left ? Yeah, all of baseball was right.
Deke
HA! yeah and I don’t think I saw anyone say they thought that was a good idea. Yesterday’s OF lineup was a joke. Hill, Hernandez and Parker!
Not that I’m all that excited about Upton but he plays CF right? I gotta think SF need some depth in that position. Hernandez really looks overmatched at the plate right now although it’s early and he could be one of those guys that just needs a lot of at bats and patience to prosper.

Funny that ever since melvin camr on the scene you havent heard much from BJ upton. It would be cool to have all 3 of the brothers on the same club.
pztpaco34
BJ and Melvin are the same person.
jays_fan91
Haha this just made my day. easy mistake to make but funny none the less
andy b 2
LOL
Connorsoxfan
Ha
Lbd
Haha I hope he was joking. But if not that was funny.
pztpaco34
The Braves would have faced a full-on fan revolt had they brought back Melvin/BJ. Waaaaay too much baggage. They’d rather give the bat to Bartolo Colon than to Melvin/BJ.
acmeants
LOL. He did nada in a Braves uni.
giants51
I don’t see much here….. He’s done…….
freaky55
I believe it took SF LF’s 7 games to come up with their first hit on the season. Bravo Evans. Way to waste our superb core with this penny pinching BS.
Gary333
Ummm… Sign Bonds for left. At least he gives them power! Haha!
