Rotoworld.com's take on the Connor Gillaspie...
call up from his short season rookie team:
"More foolishness from a Giants team with no concern about maximizing its chances of putting its best team on the field when it could possibly have a chance of contending. Gillaspie was a great pick with the 37th overall selection in this year's draft, and he has a chance to be a nice long-term third baseman. However, adding him to the 40-man roster now is the height of foolishness. The team is up to 13 infielders on the 40-man roster (including Kevin Frandsen on the 60-day DL), 10 of whom are 26 or younger. That's a whole bunch of spots already spoken for next year, and the Giants are going to have a tough time improving their current roster without jettisoning young players to do it."
The rookie third baseman was hitting .268 (19 for 71) in 18 games with four doubles and 8 RBIs. Thanks for taking Rohlinger out of here!

greg,
the buzz on gillaspie is that part of his signing bonus included being put on the 40 man once the milb reg season was over...to me, this is another bad gamble by sabean
in regards rohlinger, as he has spent 90 percent of the time on the bench, since being called up...this is just another reason to fire sabean
but i dont write the checks or make the final decisions
