Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, is reporting that the Giants are looking into the Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Will Ohman.  Ohman has an affordable contract and is different than any other reliever the Giants have. He is a finesse pitcher with a breaking ball that’s very tough on lefty hitters.

General manager Brian Sabean said on his weekly radio show on KNBR on Thursday he is looking for experienced left-handed relief (as well as a bat, preferably left-handed). Ohman who turns 33 next month, has a 2.57 ERA in 28 innings this season. His 1.54 WHIP is high for a late reliever, but more significant, he has held left-handed hitters to a .196 average and .531 OPS.

The Giants, especially with Dan Runzler out, could use a lefty specialist to challenge Adrian Gonzalez, Andre Ethier, James Loney, Carlos Gonzalez and all the other tough left-handed hitters in their division they must retire down the stretch.
