WTF Is Going On? (UPDATED)

With a big shoutout to OBnB associate J2X, rumor has it Connecticut third baseman Ryan Rohlinger, not Travis Ishikawa or Pablo Sandoval will get the callup.

At this point, it only seems to be corroborated by a few posters at McCovey Chronicles.

[UPDATE (1:34PM): Brewercentric has posted a story from the exceedingly creditable PrepsOnTheNet. Still, it looks like Rohlinger is indeed a San Francisco Giant. In case you're wondering, Milwaukeeans are interested in this story as Rohlinger's a Wisconsin product.

The question remains: who goes down, or out? I imagine management makes space for Rohlinger on the 40 man by putting Merkin Valdez on the 60 day DL.]

Rohlinger could conceivably supplant Feliz Lite, a thought that sends shivers up my fandom-ravaged spine.

But he also plays second base, a position of great depth but a lot of perceived necessity, as Grant so eloquently stated a week ago.

Rohlinger, 24, hasn't put up eye-popping numbers this year in either Single-A San Jose or in Norwich, but he has shown a propensity to take a pitch, a rarity in this brain-dead hacker breeding farm system. Granted, I'd rather see this guy trot out to third at this point than Castillo.

So how does this relate to John Bowker, who was the presumptive sacrificial lamb? Unclear, unless the Giants are about to make a move, or three, that no one saw coming.

Or it could all be a hoax. Stay tuned, folks.
