Sometimes old lefthanders do retire

To make room for Noah Lowry, Jeff Fassero was designated for assignment by the Giants. Fassero, who pitched for Montreal, Seattle, Texas, Boston, the Cubs, St. Louis, Colorado, Arizona (for about a week), and San Francisco.

Outfielder Dan Ortmeier was called up from Fresno and catcher Justin Knoedler was sent down to Fresno.

My father, who is as bitter a Cub fan as they make, used to express his displeasure with Jeff's pitching by deliberately pronouncing Fassero's name "fah-SARR-oh," even though he clearly knew this to be incorrect. I will miss Fassero in the big leagues for that reason and that reason alone.

I was wondered why in 2004, Clint Hurdle essentially kicked Fassero off of the Rockies and then Fassero ended up signing with Arizona (who was going 51-111) and pitched one inning for them.

Did Arizona actually need him?

I think the D-Backs thought they were signing Terry Mulholland.
