The Giants are pleased with 23-year old righty swinging catcher Buster Posey. Posey has played in 48 games for the Giants this year and he is 66 of 178 (.371 avg, .986 OPS) with 28 runs scored, 8 homers and 33 RBIs. Posey’s excellent start allows the Giants a lot of flexibility at the trade deadline as they might not need a big bat anymore in the outfield. This might allow them to add to the bullpen which no one has really talked about yet.

The Giants have placed 28-year old switch hitting IF/OF Eugenio Velez on the 15-day disabled list with a concussion. He was hit in the head the other day while on the bench by a line drive off the bat of Pat Burrell. Velez has played in 21 games for the Giants this year and he is 9 of 46 (.196 avg, .644 OPS) with 7 runs scored, 2 homers and 8 RBIs. The Giants have called up 26-year old righty swinging infielder Ryan Rohlinger to replace Velez on the active roster. Rohlinger has played in 10 games for the Giants this year and he is 3 of 14 (.214 avg, .527 OPS) with 1 run scored and 1 RBI.
