The San Francisco Giants are keeping INF Brandon Crawford at shortstop despite a propensity for errors. "We're not talking about anything there right now," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's had his rough days, but he bounces back well, which is what you want from a kid." Crawford is on pace for 36 errors. The last major-leaguer with that many was White Sox SS Jose Valentin in 2000.
