Well, the Giants get a “B” for their off season efforts.

Giants payroll is $30 million below what it was from 2915-17.

I noticed that.  Also noticed that the SF Giants are 3-7 in spring training, said record positioning them 13th of 15 in the Cactus League.

Giants team OPS is #15 of 30. #11 in HRs, #3 in triples, #11 in doubles. #26 in walks putting them at #23 in OBP.
Giants team pitching is worse.  #23 in ERA, #27 in WHIP.

On the good news front, the following players have 1.000+ OPS: Yastrzemski, Casali, Late Night LaMonte Wade, Matheny, Blandino, Gigliotti, Toffey, Smith, Ramos, Estrada, McCray, Bailey, Tostado, Wilson.  Auerbach at .967, Bart at .875.  Crawford is 0 for 7, Bishop is 0 for 5, Matos is 1 for 7, heralded Joc Pederson is 1 for 8, Austin Slater has 2 singles in 12 ABs - if memory serves, Austin is a slow starter.  Vosler is 1 for 10, Luciano is 1 for 7, Ruf is 2 for 9, Duggar is 1 for 11.

Good news on the pitching side are 20 pitchers with 0.00 ERA: DeSclafani, Cobb, Wood, Doval, McGee, Alvarez, Avila, Bates, Brebbia, Castro, Junis, Morreale, Palumbo, Rashi, Ruotolo, Russell, Tago, Toplikar, Williams, Wright .  On the down side, pitchers with a 9.00 ERA or worse include Rogers, Beede, Long, Garcia, Oswalt, Carasiti, Fenter, Gudino, Rubio, and Brickhouse.

Pitchers with 1.20 WHIP or less include (in order): Wright, Wood, Brebbia, McGee, Tago, Alvarez, Llovera, Avila, Rodon, DeSclefani, Doval, Hjelle, Cobb, and Espinal.  Pitchers with 2.00 WHIP or worse include Marte, Palumbo, Long, Castro, Ortiz, Garcia, Beede, Oswalt, Toplikar, Fenter, Gudino, Carasiti, Ruotolo, Bates, Brickhouse, Rogers, Rubio.  Last year's MLB leader in appearances, Rogers, has a 6.00 WHIP and a 18.00 ERA.  Yikes.

MLB Opening Day is April 7.  Giants Opening Day is April 8 vs. Marlins, afternoon game.  Lots of tickets available.
