I think that whole thing with Trout hurt him a bit But I like his stuff out of the bullpen so to me he’s a keeper. Giants supposedly high on Rico Garcia. Didn’t show much.
I like Watson. Pretty sure he signs elsewhere, though. He should be able to get a pretty decent salary from a contender. Left-handers that are equally proficient getting out right handers don't grow on trees
Menez and Selmen are both guys who have started in the minor leagues. I think the former may be more suited to start than the laotter, so Selmen another guy think you keep for the pen.
And I don’t give up on an arm like Coonrad’s. Although he may be damaged goods as far as the Giants are concerned.
Phogge I agree it’s important to have somebody slotted for the ninth. But there is no way they’re going to go out spend a lot of money for a closer. Nor should they. First they break down way too often, second there’s not that many of them out there and third you can develop one from within.
Reyes Moranta will be back. Maybe he helps.
As for starters that could be a black hole. Cueto will be back. But I’m not sure if they’re gonna be able to sign either Gausman or Smily. Webb Is it working progress but I think will definitely be in the rotation next year. My guess is forehead looks for a couple of low end rotation starters starters in the free-agent market – assuming there are any out there. Tyler Andersen showed flashes. But inconsistent. And Mick’s right there’s not a whole lot of immediate help in the minor leagues when it comes to starting pitching. Beede, who knows. I’m kind of to the point with him where anything he shows is a plus. And frankly I think he may be more suited for the bullpen.
I hope that Moronta will be the closer. He pitched well last year prior to his injury.
