It is assumed for months that Renteria would receive his arthroscopic procedure after the regular season to remove bone spurs and chips from the elbow. But Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated that Renteria's chances of being ready for next Spring Training would improve if he had surgery as soon as possible. "We need to get this cleaned out," Bochy said Friday. "It's time to get him fixed up and get some rehab in before he goes home."
Renteria has won three Silver Slugger and two Gold Glove awards, but after the Giants signed him to a two-year last December, he hit a career-low .250 in 124 games. Renteria also collected five home runs and 48 RBIs every year. Bochy believed that Renteria's physical condition hampered his performance. "Without question it had something to do with his season," Bochy said. "This game's hard enough to play when you're 100 percent. He was a warrior through it all. He got some big hits for us."
