His inconsistency has been at times awful, especially in key situations. I had I hopes for him over the years and is probably why I'm still hopeful.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I don't want to see Hinshaw back in the minors either. For most of last season, he was the only thing that worked not named Wilson...until they called up Romo. What I meant was if Hinshaw has a bad spring, kinda like Brian Wilson did in 2007, I could see him start the year in Fresno. That would secure Taschner a job, at least for a while. <BR/><BR/>I really think Jack gets traded this year. The stars seem to be aligning for it, what with Affeldt and Hinshaw around for at least the next two seasons. Multiple teams had interest in Taschner last summer and presumably more will this year. I think the Giants hold him until the roster shakes out, try to let him build some early value in April/May, and deal him as part of a package with Noah Lowry/Jonathan Sanchez, which ever one ends up being the odd man out. If Lowry doesn't return to form, I can still see Taschner being dealt.<BR/><BR/>A package of:<BR/>Lowry(Sanchez)/Taschner/Velez/Pucetas or Sosa certainly should be enough to garner a productive, young, middle of the order type hitter...Ryan Zimmerman??? JJ Hardy??? Dan Uggla???<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts?Jim Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607594670939158289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633729735122113054.post-28928151008327035832009-01-21T16:37:00.000-08:002009-01-21T16:37:00.000-08:00I really dont like TaschnerI would not put Hinshaw...I really dont like Taschner<BR/><BR/>I would not put Hinshaw back in the minors to have this chump blowing giving up runs like crazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
