The Giants called up a pitching prospect....and the numbers make it a bit of a surprise. Who says the Stanford Swing is death to a prospect? And after Belt's scary-looking twisted ankle, we take a look at the upper level first basemen.
Strat-O-Matic!
I am not going to let that nickname go!
Chris Stratton got the Saturday call-up in lieu of Matt Cain’s hamstring injury, and to say it was a surprise is an understatement. Stratton had made nine starts in Sacramento this season, and had a 6.02 ERA with just 36 strikeouts in 52.
