Giants designate Vin Mazzaro for assignment, add Albert Suarez to roster

Vin Mazzaro will always have a special place in Giants history. No, a special place in our hearts. He's now the all-time franchise leader in ERA, which is hard to do for a 133-year-old organization. It takes hard work and bad luck. Live fast, get designated young, and leave a good-looking ERA, that's what I say. The Giants designated Mazzaro for assignment on Friday, adding Albert Suarez to the roster.

First, some housekeeping: Andrew Suarez is a recent draft pick and rising prospect. This is not Andrew Suarez. This is Albert, a 26-year-old who came over as a minor-league free agent from the Angels' system.
