As we reported last night Barry Zito has been left off the roster. The Giants also left off bullpen arms Chris Ray and Dan Runzler along with outfielder Jose Guillen. Guillen, was reportedly having some neck pain that is rather serious and to top it off he was not exactly contributing a lot.
I translated some quotes that Guillen had about being left of the roster in an ESPNDeportes.com article and here's what he had to say:
"It's unfortunate, but I can not do anything about it. I was very excited to play in the postseason, but the pain is very deep," Guillen told ESPNdeportes.com from San Francisco.
"You play this sport to reach the postseason, the dream is to play in the World Series," Guillen said. "Fortunately, could still play later."With Jose Guillen off the roster, I would expect to see Aaron Rowand start for the first game, as his numbers are very good against Derek Lowe, and then Cody Ross would probably start against Tommy Hanson with Rowand starting again against Tim Hudson. If Rowand were to start then Bruce Bochy would likely move Andres Torres to right field.
The entire roster is after the jump.
Pitchers: Jeremy Affeldt, Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain, Santiago Casilla, Tim Lincecum, Javier Lopez, Guillermo Mota, Ramon Ramirez, Sergio Romo, Jonathan Sanchez, Brian Wilson
Catchers: Buster Posey, Eli Whiteside
Infielders: Mike Fontenot, Aubrey Huff, Travis Ishikawa, Edgar Renteria, Freddy Sanchez, Pablo Sandoval, Juan Uribe
