Mike Krukow on whether the Giants calling up Jesus Rodriguez will force Patrick Bailey to the bench or possibly sent down to the minors since Bailey has an option remaining: “I don’t think anybody is safe right now. I really don’t. If you think that the numbers you’re putting up now, if they’re not good numbers, you cannot justify the argument to say 'I need to be in the lineup'. This applies to everybody, even a two-time gold glove catcher. There just aren’t any guarantees and that’s exactly what a shake-up is. You’re shaking things up and you have to be willing as an organization to say it applies to everybody. I certainly feel that this is what’s happening here. I haven’t talked to any of the front office personnel and haven’t talked to anybody at all, but I do believe that this is gonna be a blanket— anybody that is not performing, is not guaranteed playing time. And that goes across the board regardless of how much time you have in the big leagues, how many gold gloves you have or how big your contract is. Believe it or not, that is healthy.” via: @KNBR
