Giants eye infield changes

Bruce Bochy meant no disrespect to anyone in his employ. He merely stated what he believed when the Giants gave Ivan Ochoa a long look at shortstop last month: There was a chance that Ochoa could be the shortstop and Emmanuel Burriss the second baseman next year. The comment landed in print, and the newspaper clipping landed in Kevin Frandsen's locker as bulletin-board material. Frandsen was not mad at Bochy, but at the situation. What do they say? Out of sight, out of mind? It was one more jab into Frandsen's gut, one more reminder that his first real chance to become an everyday major-leaguer died when his left Achilles' tendon snapped in a March 24 minor-league spring-training game, one more motivational tool.

I figured they were talking about cutting the grass in a different direction.

Not sure how good Ochoa is but I'm saying he can't hold Vizquel's jock, Omar is one of the most underrated shortstops ever.

I used to make a few extra dolalrs during NFL season betting on games. Always made a pretty good amount of cash. Never really had a good betting system for MLB until now. I found this betting system and it works. I've been on a 43-0 run in baseball this season follwing this guys advice. For the small risk that you take, you get a big investment.

You need to watch Ochoa. His play looks like a young Vizquel. I don't know about range or bat but his style of shortstop is just like Vizquel...
