With the sept. 1st roster expansions... Do the giants bring up offensive help In 2008 first round pick (considered best prospect) up? With the way the offense its hitting (aaron rowand sucks) I think we do. Just as a guy Coming off the bench ________ NEVADA MARIJUANA DISPENSARY

i definitely think the giants should, bengie is beat up and eli, while serviceable, doesn't give the giants the offensive help that they need. i really feel there would be no harm in bringing the young prospects up this month and giving them a shot and allow them to feel early what it is like to be in a pennant race so they know they want that feeling back in the future years.

neal should also be brought up as additional OF help

I would bring up Posey for sure but Neal isnt going to go from A ball in San Jose to the Giants this year. I still do not understand why he wasnt promoted to AA ball after his success in A ball but obviously the team doesnt think he is ready for the leap yet.

The injury to Bengie, is the only reason to bring up Posey. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to do so this season. Let him play in AZ. Order the kid to take a couple of months off and invite him to Camp in Feb. He has been playiing now for close to 18 months without a break. Time for a vacation.

Chat excerpt from online chat with Baseball America's Conor Glassey. http://www.baseballamerica.com/chat/?1251481577

Zach (SF Bay Area): Is B Posey's exclusion from the US world cup team a result of him being beaten out for a roster spot, or an inevitable Sept 1 call-up?

Conor Glassey: Probably getting called up.

Bring him up! He should have been up a month ago......He can do what Whiteside is doing at the bare least and could potentially give us some more pop.

There is no reason not to bring the kid up when they expand the rosters. He can help the big team and there is absolutley no downside to it at all. None.
