It didn't quite work out that well but it neatly summarizes the Giants this season-- what the hell? Felipe has always managed like a mad scientist, throwing anything and everything out there to see what works and this season he's managing like Dr. Frankenstein on a speedball. Bringing up some AA kid to audition for a closer role is something that a team does in Spring Training or to some doomed doormat like the Royals, not to a team that began the season with playoff aspirations. Yet because of all the injuries, all the head-scratching head-cases, and just plain ole ineffectiveness, Felipe can do nothing but throw everyone including the Kitchen Sink out there (Sink, by the way, is the third rated prospect in the Giants' farm system according to Baseball America).
