I would be down for a Taschner trade and an Ohman signing. Taschner is just awful and the Giants have given him his chances to succeed and he has come up short, very short. Ohman has 23 Holds last year compares to Taschner's 14. Ohman's WHIP was also .45 lower than Taschner's. If the Giants can pull this off, they should do it immediately!WHERE THERE'S A WILL: Last I heard, the last of the free-agent left-handers, Will Ohman, was looking for a one-year deal in the neighborhood of $1.75 million, with easily reachable incentives that could add close to another $1 million on top of that. Also hearing Ohman wants to stay on the West Coast. So with the Dodgers not interested in approaching that price, the Padres and Giants would seem to be the teams at the front of this line. The Phillies and Marlins also remain interested, but not at those dollars.
GIANTS-PHILLIES RUMBLING: Another left-handed bullpen option I've heard connected with Philadelphia: the Giants' Jack Taschner, a guy the Phillies also pursued before the trading deadline last year. The Giants are asking for "young players" in return, according to another club that spoke with them.
