Frandsen optioned to Triple-A; Guzman reassigned
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It’s official. The Giants announced Tuesday morning that infielder Kevin Frandsen has been optioned to Triple-A Fresno, meaning that Emmanuel Burriss will be San Francisco’s Opening Day second baseman.
The Giants also reassigned infielder-outfielder Jesus Guzman to Minor League camp. Guzman, who hit a robust .412 but couldn’t find a position, likely will try find one at Triple-A. He said he had not been told what spot he will play.
Though the Giants didn’t announce it, it’s believed that right-handers Justin Miller and Brandon Medders were reassigned to Minor League camp. Miller confirmed the move.

Sigh. Burriss should start at SS and Frandsen should start at 2B. I know Renteria has better numbers than either of them, but this isn’t about this season. It’s about the future, and Renteria has no future benefit with this team. Again, sigh. When you rebuild a house, you don’t just replace the roof. You use quality materials that will last for years. If you are just fixing the place up, then go with the shorter term gloss.
