Age and experience looks to have won out in the utiltiy department.
The Giants appear to be keeping Juan Uribe and Rich Arrilia as back-up infielders, leaving San Jose native, Kevin Frandsen, the odd man out.
The team optioned him to Triple-A Fresno. Reports from Arizona detailing what went down Tuesday morning told of a 10 minute meeting with manager Bruce Bochy that lead to a quiet exit.
They've named Emanuel Burriss as their starting second baseman.
Three others, infielder Jesus Guzman and relievers Brandon Medders and Justin Miller are also expected to be bound for Fresno.
