CHICAGO -- Nearly 13 years after he was traded away, Joe Nathan is back with the Giants. Cheap Hawks Jerseys .San Francisco promoted the 41-year-old right-hander from Double-A Richmond before Saturdays game against the Chicago Cubs.I want to prove to myself that I can still do it, said Nathan, who signed a minor league deal Aug. 19.Nathan was a sixth-round pick of the Giants in 1995 and began his career as a starter before moving to the bullpen. But after struggling in the 2003 playoffs, Nathan was dealt along with left-hander Francisco Liriano to Minnesota for catcher A.J. Pierzynski.It turned out to a one-sided deal, as Nathan became one of the top closers in the game with 377 saves and six All-Star selections with Minnesota, Texas and Detroit. But he has appeared in only four major league games the past two seasons after a second Tommy John surgery.Ultimate motivation is to win a ring and from there it was kind of nice to prove some people wrong, Nathan said. Once I had the injury, I dont think it was 5 minutes after we found out I was going to have surgery that people were already saying, `So youre retiring, right?Nathan picked jersey No. 74, having been born in 1974.Manager Bruce Bochy says the playoff contenders plan to use Nathan in the sixth and seventh innings.Whats impressive is what hes accomplished, but he still has such passion for the game that here he is pitching at Double-A, Bochy said. And now here he is, back with the Giants.Nathan appeared in three games with the Cubs earlier this season, but was then released Aug. 6 amid a roster crunch.He had one really good game up in Milwaukee (on July 24) where we got a couple guys on and he struck out the side, Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. His pitches got up to the low 90s (mph) with some really good break. It was just a lack of opportunity with us. . Im really happy that hes there.The Giants opened a spot on the 40-man roster for Nathan by recalling right-hander Ray Black from Double-A Richmond and putting him on the 60-day disabled list.
