The Giants have designated reliever Neil Ramirez for assignment and selected the contract of fellow reliever Bryan Morris from Triple-A, according to a club announcement.

Ramirez inked a minor league deal with the Giants over the winter and then made the team’s Opening Day bullpen. Things didn’t go well for the 27-year-old, though, as he threw 10 1/3 innings with the Giants this month and allowed 15 earned runs on 16 hits.

Ah, the Neil Ramirez days. I so miss them.

Toronto's turn

The Blue Jays have claimed righty Neil Ramirez off waivers from the Giants, per a club announcement. San Francisco had recently designated him for assignment.

Alex Meyer tonight in Seattle as he starts for LAA. Had 6.16 ERA in 4 starts (19 IP) for AAA Salt Lake. [:-]

Santiago for Meyer/Icky, and paying $ on Icky's Contract? Great trade

Tonight(Monday), Trevor Plouffe homered off Ricky Nolasco.

Winning pitcher of that game? Former Twin Liam Hendriks. Loser? Deolis Guerra.

Might be the most chocked-full post of "former Twins" info, ever [:-]

Are you sure JJ Hardy didn't drive in Aaron Hicks, who bowled over Kurt Suzuki, with Danny Valencia advancing on the play. The throw from Ben Revere sucked, btw ....
Denard Span stood and watched the entire thing with a scowl on his face, too.

Henry Sanchez, one of the all-time great high school sluggers in San Diego County history, died this week in Lodi after a four-year battle with cancer. He was 30.

Sanchez, who stood 6-feet-4 and weighed as much as 250 in his prime at Mission Bay High, was a first-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2005.

“He had two surgeries to get a softball-size tumor under his throat. He had radiation and chemo, but the cancer had spread to his organs and came back with force.

“He hated hospitals, hated the emergency room, hated all the fuss. But last Friday, he told his mother it was time to go to the hospital.”

Sanchez suffered from a rare soft-tissue cancer called synovial sarcoma.

And if he were still on the Twins last year when he hit .217, the reaction would have been "why is this piece of shit still on the roster".

Hicks in Left, Buxton in Center and Kepler in Right would have been good for the next 10-12 years.

With top prospect Matt Chapman set to be officially called up on Thursday, the A’s are preparing to designate third baseman Trevor Plouffe for assignment, The Chronicle has learned.

Plouffe, signed to a one-year, $5.25 million deal during the offseason, is batting .214 with seven homers and 14 RBIs and six errors in 58 games and his playing time had been diminished the past two weeks. He started just one game on the team’s just-completed road trip to Tampa Bay and Miami.

Chapman, 24, was the A’s first-round pick in the 2014 draft, 25th overall. He is likely to be the everyday third baseman Ryon Healy, who has been playing the position more often lately, has made eight errors in 18 starts there. Healy probably will return to splitting time between the designated hitter spot and first base.
