Miguel Gomez taxis into SF; (deep, painful sigh) Austin Slater sent back to AAA

Welcome back, Miguel Gomez. The Giants are in dire need of a middle infielder following the indefinite loss of Alen Hanson and they are adamant about needing 13 pitchers on the 25-man roster, so Austin Slater, who is good, has been sent back to Sacramento to make room.

Gomez will fill the Alen Hanson role as the switch-hitting backup second baseman and Kelby Tomlinson remaining the emergency shortstop. Brandon Crawford must be surrounded with bubble wrap whenever he’s not on the field.

Gomez doesn’t provide a lot of dimension on offensive.
