Carlos Beltran is ready to make his San Francisco debut in Philadelphia. The Giants now have one of the most stacked lineups in baseball at one position!
Changes with regards to yesterday: Andres Torres takes over for the radiant Aaron Rowant as lead-off hitter. Brandon Crawford is back in for Mike Fontenot, Jeff Keppinger moves up to Fontenot's spot in the two-hole. Chris Stewart takes over to catch in place of Eli Whiteside.
No changes in the Phillies lineup except the pitcher. What a dull team.
Reports are unconfirmed whether Brandon Belt has been frozen in a meat locker on Russian Hill so he can be shipped safely back to Fresno before marauding bands of Giants fans kidnap him and demand that he hit for Aubrey Huff for every bat for the rest of his life.
