Giants trade for Tim Worrell
This is a decent move for
the Giants. The move was done for two reasons: one, it cuts payroll a
bit, and two, it adds to
their bullpen depth. It’s always imperative for
playoff teams to have a solid bullpen and last
year Worrell had a 2.47 ERA in 62 innings, with
his home games at the not-so-pitcher-friendly
confines of Wrigley Field. However, Russ Davis,
Bill Mueller’s replacement at third, is a
poor fielder and, while he has more power than
Mueller he doesn’t get on base nearly as
much. This still could be a good move if Worrell
pitches as well as he did last season.
