The Giants have designated pitcher Steve Edlefsen for assignment to create space for pitcher Yusmeiro Petit.Edlefsen has appeared in 27 games with San Francisco this season, posting a 6.75 ERA in 26 2/3 innings. He has thrown 38 relief innings down in Triple-A as well, posting a 3.79 ERA.
Analysis: From what I hear, Edlefsen has a nice arsenal of pitches but hasn't really been able to figure out his best pitch. Supposedly his 2-seam fastball is solid, but may need some minor adjustments. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if Edlefsen gets claimed because he is still young (27) and put up decent numbers in the minor leagues. However, he is probably a setup man at best at the MLB level.
