… Glad to see Hinshaw get the call. Cool guy and most importantly he's a solid lefty. He has a nice sneaky fast fastball in the low-90s and a solid duece.
Re: Merkin to the DL Can't wait to see how Hinshaw does.
One of them Lefty Closers. Don't see many of them. I hope his success in Teh Neck will carry over to SF.

… When I first read about this, my first thought was "so who did they DFA to make room on the 40-man roster?". It turns out that they moved Kevin Frandsen to the 60-man DL, which frees up a spot on the 40-man.
Alex would have been added to the 40-man before Dec anyways - I'm curious to see how he will fare against major league hitting.
