Ryan Ludwick --- The Pat Burrell of 2015

It was just announced by the Texas Rangers that Ryan Ludwick would not be part of the their team this year.  Can he be the Pat Burroughs of 2015?   Stay tuned!

A Rundown on the Giants with 10 days to go

The infield -
Belt at 1b is set to go
Panik play at 2b is opening up the job for Duffy
McGehee started fast and has cooled off but there is no other choice for 3b.
Crawford will be the same as he was last year.
Adrianza has flopped again
Arias will be reliable fill in.

Catcher
Hopefully Posey is saving his hits for  the season because he hasn't look good this spring
Sanchez will be the backup at the start  then Susac will be brought up

Outfield
Aoki will leadoff and play left.  He is not much better then Morse in left field
What will happen to Pagan when the shots he got wear off?
Blanco looks the same
Perez flopped again
Maxwell will make the team unless they sign Ludwick
I don't know if there is room for Ishikawa
Pence should be  playing by mid May

Starters
Bumgarner is ready 
Cain is fine except he has a sore elbow and doesn't pitch against the majors
Hudson ankle looks good now we are worried about his arm.  Does he still have it? I don't know
Peavy looks good for a couple innings. Still has time to prove himself this spring
Lincecum is so up and down he is hard to predict but so far he can handle #4 starter
Vogelsong will most likely get one or two starts in the early season then it will depend on the results.
Petit -  When everything else fails.

Relief Pitchers
Those that do not have options left will make the team but others that have pitch pretty well this spring will be brought up later when needed.

Plan -  Keep close in the race for about seven weeks then  make the necessary changes.
