What I would get from it is if they want Fransisco as the fifth OF/backup 3b that would free up more playing time for Alonso in LF. With Fransisco out of AAA its one less guy in the mix of the 3 or 4 people getting playing time out there.

Tobin walks Bruce on four pitches. Struggling.
Valakia up. Dusty probably just now done diagramming for Valakia the need to cover 1b on bunts...
Valaika grounds out.
6-6 game after 3.
In random news you could care less about, there may be a few inches of snow over here in Baltimore this weekend. Which is silly.
Travis Wood, fresh from a peptalk from Bryan Price about "Arizona factors" bravely heads back to the mound. Also, his teammates have promised to field the ball and stop throwing it around this inning.
First guy flies out to RF. One gone in the fourth.
Fly out to LF for second out.
Jim Day, earning his meal money, interviewing Matt Maloney. Maloney is rocking the same beard that Masset was displaying. They are all apparently seeing the same barber in Goodyear.
Maloney told Day that he would see him at the game next Thursday. I hope he has tickets, game is sold out. ;)
Wood Ks the third guy. Wood is so cool, ice wants to be him. With better fielders.
6-6 middle of four.
That Jason Mraz song is on the PA as they come back from break. Sing amongst yourselves.
Jocketty will be joining the booth in the 5th. That will be kinda interesting perhaps.
Votto is up. He is scaring the Rangers today, with a walk and a single.
I, I, I, well, I don't know quite how to say this, but Votto Kd. I know. It doesn't seem possible, but it apparently happened.
I will try to go on. But it will be hard.
Francisco lines out to left center. Nice piece of hitting, just better defense running it down in the gap.
Gomes up. Two down.
The Tobin guy was MUCH better starting the inning than coming in mid-way through an inning.
Gomes Ks.
6-6 after 4.
Jocketty to the booth next inning. I will try to get down as much as I can from what he says. Anyone else watching it that can help, that would be much appreciated.
