Klesko and Sweeney get OF playing time only to stay sharp or if one or two guys go down for 2 or 3 days. The IF/bench is much harder to predict. It definitely is stronger than last year. Sweeney will be kept as he is a valuable LH pinch hitter. I think Frandsen gets 250-300 ABs filling in at SS, 2b, and 3b. Feliz is the expected starter, but I think he is on a short leash. If he fails again, I think Fransdsen has a chance to platoon at 3b with Aurelia, who will likely platoon somewhat with Klesko - assuming Klesko hits. So, I think they are in much better shape than last year , they have a lot of competition and won't have to wait until the end of July to plug a Niekro sized hole.allfrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603053163603458876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-13689443933992755572007-02-17T17:34:00.000-08:002007-02-17T17:34:00.000-08:00Frandsen is Ray Ray's and Omar's backup.

With Klesko, Sweeney and even Feliz able to play the outfield........I don't see the Giants keeping more than 4 true outfielders. Someone is going to be real disappointed. I don't see how Frandsen gets much playing time at all. <BR/><BR/>Maybe the plan is to get some Spring Training time in and then trade some of the extra position players........I just don't know.Giantfan9https://www.blogger.com/profile/04105530755055434071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-79863016377598077182007-02-17T14:44:00.000-08:002007-02-17T14:44:00.000-08:00For the 8,000th time.......not my boy ;-) The wor...For the 8,000th time.......not my boy ;-) The worst move of the off-season was his re-signing.Giantfan9https://www.blogger.com/profile/04105530755055434071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-78051266757718451792007-02-17T13:56:00.000-08:002007-02-17T13:56:00.000-08:00What a stupid question.
