Last week my friends and I were watching the Carribbean Series and Ortiz was starting. I made the joke in saying "Ortiz will probably get picked up by Sabean if he is watching" because Ortiz had one good looking inning. The rest he barely escaped trouble. Sure enough Ortiz has a chance to make the Giants. Thanks for not disappointing Brian!Giants signed RHP Ramon Ortiz to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Ortiz, this month's Caribbean Series MVP, is back from Japan after going 4-7 with a 5.82 ERA for Oriz last season. The 35-year-old last pitched in the majors in 2007, finishing 5-4 with a 5.45 ERA for the Twins and Rockies. His only hope of making the Giants out of spring training is as a reliever, but he qualifies as pretty good depth.
