SF Giants-Kelby Tomlinson Fights for Utility Position

Many NCAA fans including myself are enjoying the tournament despite our brackets having lots of checkmarks next to missed selections.

It won't be long and the tournament will have a winner and it will be time to move on to the regular MLB season. I am a SF Giants fan and I am looking forward to seeing games at AT&T Park in April.

The Giants have several infielders competing for utility positions. One of these players is Kelby Tomlinson. I appreciate his effort and attitude as he tries to stay on the roster for opening day. Regardless of the opening day roster, Kelby will be staying with the Giants franchise for now. If one of the more veteran players is selected for the utility position he will end up with the farm club, maybe  in Sacramento Triple A. Tomlinson has improved over the last couple seasons, especially with his defense. He has come through with some timely hits over the past two years also. I am rooting for him and hope he is on the opening day roster. If not it's good to know he could be called up at any given time to help the club. Tomlinson is picking the brains of veterans and this should serve his career well. With such a great attitude, I hope that career continues to be with the San Francisco Giants.

The SF Giants web site highlights Tomlinson's efforts to be on the roster opening day. You can read the story and watch some short video clips on the Giants site by clicking HERE.

Go Tomlinson! Go Giants!!!
