Not much to see on the roster protection moves as all of the guys mentioned are at least a year or two away from being contributors. Brown needs a big year in 2014 to validate this move.
Finalize Javy and re-sign Vogie over Arroyo. I thought Hudson was instead of Arroyo not in addition to Arroyo. Something about Arroyo's incessant campaigning to be in SF is a turn-off for me. Like he wants to be mayor of SF on the side or something. It's a bit creepy, stalker-like creepy.
Bring back Vogie!!!
from CSN Bay Area:
Giants protect Gary Brown, three others from Rule 5 draft | CSN Bay Area:
SAN FRANCISCO – Two disappointing seasons might have stripped Gary Brown of the “center fielder of the future” label. But the Giants aren’t ready to just give him away.
The club added Brown to the 40-man roster on Wednesday, the final opportunity to add players to protect them from being snapped up in the Rule 5 draft next month. They also added right-hander Kendry Flores, third baseman Adam Duvall and right-handed reliever Hunter Stickland.
Right-hander Guillermo Moscoso was designated for assignment.
The moves leave the Giants full at 40, so they’ll need to subtract someone else when they finalize Javier Lopez’s contract. And they’ll obviously need to clear more space when they sign a fifth starter, whether it’s Ryan Vogelsong or Bronson Arroyo or someone else.
