Sandoval, Renteria Spooked

Giants players Pablo Sandoval and Edgar Renteria checked out of the team hotel in Milwaukee the other day because of rumors that the Pfister Hotel is haunted.  Adrian Beltre, among others, has reported hearing strange sounds in the night while staying at the hotel.

Perhaps the most haunting aspect of this entire story is the fact that Edgar Renteria is still getting paid to play baseball after all these years.

Big Papi's Eternal Well of Generosity

David Ortiz, or Big Papi as some call him, dropped a not-so-subtle hint before Monday's game against the Rays on Monday, when he was quoted as saying that he would love to take part in the Home Run Derby if he is invited.  Ortiz is on the short list of people who have publicly admitted to wanting to take part in the HRD at Anaheim next week.

A much longer, and more prestigious, list that has been emerging through the week is the list of players who want nothing to do with the HRD.  On this list: Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, Josh Hamilton, and (much to everyone's disappointment) Omar Infante.

Adrian Beltre has said that he would decline the invitation to participate, if asked.  MLB responded by saying, "Why would we ask him?"
