Giants outfielder Jose Guillen, left off the team?s postseason roster, is linked to a federal investigation into shipments of performance-enhancing drugs, The New York Times reported on its website Thursday night. The story, citing several unidentified lawyers, said federal authorities told MLB they were looking into shipments of human growth hormone, allegedly sent to Guillen?s wife in the Bay Area. That was just before the postseason began, The Times said. Guillen was left off the Giants? roster for all three rounds because of a nagging neck injury, according to manager Bruce Bochy.

Federal prosecutors have submitted the lineup of witnesses they intend to call during the much-delayed Barry Bonds perjury trial. Rockies first baseman Jason Giambi is on the list. Bonds has pleaded not guilty to lying to a grand jury in 2003 when he denied knowingly taking steroids. His trial is scheduled to begin March 21 in San Francisco. The slugger's former girlfriend, Kimberly Bell, is expected to testify as is his former personal trainer. The list includes former baseball players Bobby Estalella, Armando Rios, Marvin Benard, Benito Santiago, Randy Velarde and Jason's brother, Jeremy Giambi.
