http://0rz.tw/UYOhR Prospect Sanchez called up; Burrell to DL By Chris Haft / MLB.com | 07/15/11 6:37 PM ET SAN DIEGO -- Hector Sanchez completed his seemingly inevitable rise to the Major Leagues on Friday as the Giants purchased his contract from Triple-A Fresno. Sanchez replaced left fielder Pat Burrell, who went on the 15-day disabled list with a mild right foot strain. Burrell, who's batting .233 with seven home runs and 21 RBIs in 80 games, has been scratched from the starting lineup at least once when a bone spur in the same foot prevented him from running. Sanchez, 21, has drawn comparisons to Pablo Sandoval. Both are switch-hitting Venezuelans who share a catching background. Having divided the season between high-Class A San Jose and Triple-A Fresno, Sanchez compiled a .302 batting average with eight home runs and 58 RBIs in 67 games overall. He also had an .802 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage). Sanchez actually hit more consistently in 25 games with Fresno (.305, compared to .301 at San Jose), but displayed no power at the higher classification. He recorded no homers and 12 RBIs with Fresno, contrasting with the eight homers and 46 RBIs he totaled at San Jose. Sanchez will join the catching corps of Eli Whiteside and Chris Stewart. Manager Bruce Bochy was expected to explain later how he plans on using all three. To accommodate Sanchez on the 40-man roster, the Giants transferred utility man Mark DeRosa from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL. DeRosa has been striving to recover from inflammation and a partial tear of a tendon in his left wrist and hasn't played since May 18. Chris Haft is a reporter for MLB.com.
