The only reason Freddy was being looked at by the Giants medical staff was because I heard on road trips, team doctors travel with the team, butnot the physicians. The home team usually lends a hand and offer their services.Originally Posted by dland24

Giants second basemen have been among the least productive units in baseball. A league-average player would represent a huge upgrade, to say nothing of a former batting champion like the Pittsburgh Pirates' Freddy Sanchez.
The Giants think that's a bright idea, too, but club officials were not close to a trade that would keep Sanchez in town past today's series finale at AT&T Park. Their first choice remains Florida's Dan Uggla, but the Marlins are four games over .500 and have been hesitant to put their players on the market.
The two sides have talked, and they might even have a realistic framework in place. But don't forget, Sanchez is making a bit of coin this year. He could be a guy who slips through waivers, and if so, that means he could just as easily be dealt in August.
If I'm the Giants and I'm looking at a player with a sore knee who also had a sore back a couple weeks ago, and by the way, is in a 3-for-34 spell at the plate, I'm not so certain it's worth sacrificing a couple players while also taking on salary.
From everything I can gather, the player the Giants really covet is Florida's Dan Uggla. He's not having a great season, or even a good one. But he's got legitimate cleanup power. As I've pointed out a wee time or two, the best thing the Giants can do to improve their offense is add a cleanup hitter and move Bengie Molina down in the lineup. Freddy Sanchez is not the droid they are looking for.
The Giants are almost certain to deal for a middle infielder, though - especially after learning that shortstop Edgar Renteria will require right-elbow surgery after the season. Renteria intends to play through a painful bone spur with the aid of cortisone shots, but Juan Uribe is expected to spell him often.
