McGehee was designated for assignment for real this time. His replacement is a slick-fielding old friend.
Ehire Adrianza is up. The switch-hitting defensive whiz has been oddly productive over his Triple-A career, hitting .317/.400/.434 in 341 at-bats. He's also hit into just two double plays there. Which is a segue into the actual lede, that Casey McGehee was designated for assignment on Tuesday. Unlike the last time, when the Giants had a surprise option in their coat pocket, this time it seems pretty final. If McGehee accepts the assignment to Sacramento, he's off the 40-man roster, which makes it more than a little unlikely that he's going to return this season.
