And with how lefties hit so many homers off of him, Bochy can manage that a lot better out of the pen vs starting games. Totally understand the move. Giants really lucky to have 2 long guys like him and Petit. A lot of teams don't even have 1.

Is Hudson unlucky or does he just suck? Has yunel escobar been lucky or does he just have a robust spray chart and hit more ground balls than ever?

Lets not pretend that Vogelsong is way better than Hudson. He's not. It makes total sense moving him to the pen. I mean- only 1 guy has given up more homers vs lefties this year than Vogelsong- that's Rubby de la Rosa, who has given up 2 more homers(in 54 more batters for de la Rosa).. You can't have a guy like that in the rotation.

What's bad is both guys numbers are pretty close, and Vogelsong has been relatively lucky this year. It's pretty easy to me to see why they are moving him out of the rotation.

I don't wanna move Hudson to the pen, I wanna move him off the team. Same with Vogelsong, petit and Lincecum. Don't confuse my meaning, I don't think any of these guys are any good.
