Will be interesting to see who is sent down or released when they get everyone back. Boch is a nervous wreck with 12 pitchers but if they keep 13 that means three position players will adios. Gomez for sure, then between Gorkiss, Blanco, Hanson and Tomlinson. At least three pitchers too.

Yep, and Bochy loves his old veterans dearly.  Of course Hundley stays, which if Bochy keeps 13 pitchers leaves only 3 others, and I would think Panda would be one of those three.  But he has to keep one middle infielder, and Tomlinson may probably be the most versatile (haven't seen Hansen play short).  Tomlinson and Panda can back up every infield position.  Then only one extra OF?  Hard to pick between Blanco and Gorkys -- Blanco older but also a LH bat.  For all the talk about how left-handed the Giants were, they sure seem pretty right-handed now.

I think I can see why Bochy likes so many pitchers.  Who will win or save the ball game for you more often -- the 13th P or the 12th position player? If the 13th P can go several innings, he might be the guy, as opposed to a PH who may only come through 25% of the time.
