Giants sticking with Crawford: The San Francisco Chronicle reports Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Brandon Crawford remains the team's starting shortstop despite some defensive lapses, including his 10th error Wednesday against the Brewers. "We're not talking about anything there right now," Bochy said. "He's had his rough days, but he bounces back well, which is what you want from a kid." (Updated 05/24/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Crawford is on pace for 36 errors. Jose Valentin had that many for the White Sox in 2000, but he made up for it with 25 home runs. Unfortunately, Crawford is not that good of a hitter, but his offense is improving. He is batting .289 with a .373 OBP in his last 11 games. Unfortunately, Crawford has little pop and isn't driving in a ton of runs, so he continues to be more of an NL-only Fantasy option. (Updated 05/24/2012).

The Miguel Tejada experiment did not work for the Giants last season and by midseason, shortstop had become a revolving door. Brandon Crawford actually made more starts (53) at the position than any other Giant, and the organization is counting on him to be an everyday presence at shortstop in 2012. The Giants love Crawford's glove, and that alone could guarantee him steady playing time. Unfortunately for Fantasy owners, that will just mean more plate appearances ending with Crawford walking back to the dugout. He does a decent job of drawing walks, but Crawford could not hit for average or power in the upper minors, and he even had trouble racking up extra-base hits in the offensive-minded Arizona Fall League. Barring a sudden and unforeseen skill change, Crawford will merely be a low-end option for owners in NL-only leagues. (Updated 2/9/12)
