The good folks at the San Francisco Chronicle have taken notice of the year former Aggie Dave McKae is having. McKae has not had any problems with minor-league hitters and may be pitching himself into the Giants' plans. Between Single-A and Double-A he's 8-1 and has walked just 19 batters in 100 1/3 innings. It will be interesting to see if the Giants decide to put him on the 40-man roster after this year. San Francisco signed McKae as a free agent after the 2004 season.
Here's another thing to keep an eye on. San Francisco's Triple-A team, the Fresno Grizzlies, comes to Raley Field for five games Aug. 22-26. It's not unreasonable to think McKae could be there, especially if he continues on this track and the Giants finally realize they're out of the race and start looking at younger players.
