Jackson has a two year contract- 3 mill a year. So 6 million guaranteed. Which is why they won’t cut him loose. Blanco is prob around 1 mill. Pretty sure it’s a one year contract. I’m guessing Gorkys is close the min which I think is $540,000.  

Crawford. .302. Has the highest average of any Giant against fastballs of 95 or higher. So the bat quickness is there. If the All Star game was today and the starters were picked on merit the Brandons would start at first and short. Posey maybe. Cervelli probably deserves it more at this point. 

.500 with the injuries and this staff is impressive.  If they can avoid a 2-6 on this trip they may just be ok. But this is a brutal trip. Houston for two ( they get Verlander and Cole). Chicago and Colorado. Giants should add Mac in Houston. DH plus two of free days. Can’t go with 12 pitchers for a bit. 

It’s going to be interesting to see how they man the outfield.  Mac and Pence are coming. At least one OF will have to go. It should be Jackson first. Gorkys has earned a little more time. Blanco the only lefty. Still if they keep only 4 it will be be a problem. Cutch Mac and Pence. Maybe Cutch moves back to Center a bit. Neither Blanco nor Gorkys can effectively  play everyday.

Is Jackson making more $ than Blanco or Gorkys?  That might be your answer right there.  But I agree he's the least productive of the three.  Not much of an arm out there and strikes out 37% of his plate appearances, which is worst on the club.  Pence's K percentage is almost identical, but he has half the PAs as Jackson does.

Pence is just too brittle now.  The odds of him staying healthy all season are pretty bad.  At least Slater won't be far away at Sacto.
