Julio Zuleta
What happened to Julio Zuleta in Japan with the Giants? I know he played back with the Iowa Cubs here in the States, but not sure what the story was on him over in Japan.

Thanks!!!

Julio Zuleta was never sold to the Giants. He hurt his hamstring a little in spring training, so the Giants got Felipe(?) to replace him. He is still with the Iowa Cubs and recently got suspended because he got in a big fight with the pitcher.

Felipe Crespo was picked up instead of Zuleta. Crespo, though, was brought in as strictly a bench player and hasn't had much playing time at all. In fact, at one point, he was demoted to the minors. I don't think he's going to reup with the Giants once the season is over since I know he wants to start.
