Billy Sadler is up from Fresno to replace Brad Hennessey. As noted on this very blog of record, Hennessey had a minor-league option, and oh boy, did the Giants just use it. Sadler was a teammate of Brian Wilson at L.S.U. Two Ragin’ Cajuns in one bullpen. Rowr!
For those of you who weren’t paying attention when Sadler had his brief major-league debut in 2006, he throws very hard and doesn’t control it very well. Last year in triple-A he walked nearly a batter an inning (35 BB in 42 1/3 IP).
And it's only May 7. I didn't think the Gs, Bochy in particular, would demote him. I am pleased that they a) gave him a little rope then b) moved him to a situation where he can look for that which is lost.
