Out of Shortstops?

I suspect the Giants might have Mike Fontenot at shortstop today:

Juan Uribe is out with a wrist contusion, so shortstop is left to Edgar Renteria for today’s Phillies-Giants game. Except, we learned yesterday, Renteria has a completely torn left biceps tendon. He hurt it in the NLDS against the Braves. I’m no doctor, but I’m guessing that you sorta need a biceps tendon to be at your best.

If the Giants put Pablo Sandoval and Mike Fontenot on the left side of the infield, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard might decide to bat right-handed. 🙂 Mike has played a few games at shortstop and was terrible. More likely, Renteria will start, since he throws with his right hand, and the Giants will take the hit offensively.
