Hello, there an welcome to the San Francisco Giants podcast. Today we are going to be talking about the Giant’s current homestand, trade and this weeks edition of Minor League Rundown. First, the homestand. The Giants swept the Padres behind the quality start of Shaun Anderson after losing a series to the Dodgers. Shaun Anderson allowed 2 earned runs on 4 hits and striking out 6. After getting a 1 day rest, the Brewers come to town to play the Giants. Drew Pomeranz looks to improve from a struggling season so far. You can get the full stories at giantsfansite.com The Giants made a small trade to the Padres, sending RHP Franklin Van Gurp for 30 year old Alex Dickerson. Now personally I don’t like this trade. Why do you trade a 23 year old for a 30 year old who bats .158? According to McCovey Cove, “Dickerson doesn’t have the same great name that Van Gurp has, but he’s the same kind of lottery ticket: potential, but loads of risk. For a team trying to relearn how to score runs, this is a good bet for them. The only problem is that he is 30. He is only going to be in the majors for a few years before probably retiring and that is if this whole thing works out. Now it is time for today’s Minor League Roundup. The DSL season started and the DSL Giants are doing really good. They are 8-3 and won yesterday’s game 4-0. San Jose and Richmond are struggling really bad, Richmond at 23-40 and San Jose at 29-37. With Joey Bart and Heliot Ramos on San Jose, I think San Jose can make a late playoff push. Augusta lost to Rome 7-4, after blowing a 4-0 lead. Sacramento beat Ohmaha in 11 innings 5-4.
