unseasoned giants

[west coast orange and black]

players on the current 25 man roster with less than 2 full years on major league service:

matt cain
kevin frandsen
tim lincecum
randy messenger
guillermo rodriguez
jonathan sanchez
nate schierholtz
jack taschner

rodriguez'll catch lincecum today as he makes his major league debut.
schierholtz got his first big league knock last night.

Are most of these due to injuries? I know why Lincecum was brought up, but the rest of them i'm not sure...

matt cain - returning player
kevin frandsen - returning player
tim lincecum
randy messenger - benitez trade
guillermo rodriguez - eliezer alfonzo out, possibly for the season
jonathan sanchez - returning player
nate schierholtz - fred lewis on dl
jack taschner - returning player

3 players -- lincecum, rodriguez and sanchez -- each got his first big league knock in the same game.
i wonder how close that is to a non-april / non-september game record.

Ok, all I saw was the last four. What was Alfonzo's injury? I knew it had something to do with his leg.
