His control numbers were really no better as a reliever in 2015 than as a starter, maybe worse. Black, is a wild card who could be spectacular if he can ever stay healthy long enough but at this point staying healthy seems like a longshot for him. I think it's best to not count on either of these guys and be pleasantly surprised if they turn into something.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-45378704776737996342016-11-16T22:13:22.085-08:002016-11-16T22:13:22.085-08:00Any talk about Crick ditching the SP role and movi...Any talk about Crick ditching the SP role and moving to the pen for a fast track in relief help for the big club? Also is Ray Black pretty much doomed with the injury bug and out of the conversation to potentially make a splash in Spring Training?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-84717562438402613572016-11-15T20:36:46.906-08:002016-11-15T20:36:46.906-08:00The other consideration is options and depth prese...The other consideration is options and depth preservation.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-82666326269267063612016-11-15T19:52:35.160-08:002016-11-15T19:52:35.160-08:00IDK.

Only about 2 weeks before his callup, Okert had back-to-back disaster appearances for Sacramento and seemed like he was on the ropes as a prospect at all, so I'm not sure how much of a sure thing he is or how much of a leash he's earned.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-6106634751872773782016-11-15T19:50:20.011-08:002016-11-15T19:50:20.011-08:00The Giants seem to find a good use for 1 or 2 of t...The Giants seem to find a good use for 1 or 2 of these types of signings almost every year. Vogey, Blanco, Gillaspie, Ramiro Pena, Albert Suarez…. the list goes on. I don't know which ones it will be this time, but there is a pretty good chance 1 or 2 of them will fill a need and do a nice job of it.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-37885571854874690892016-11-15T14:24:05.334-08:002016-11-15T14:24:05.334-08:00and Kraig Sitton?and Kraig Sitton?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-17985837070344960022016-11-15T14:07:29.653-08:002016-11-15T14:07:29.653-08:00Maybe some might stick in AAA, but I believe this ...Maybe some might stick in AAA, but I believe this is more about filling out the spring training rosters.Eriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-31919464617545016672016-11-15T13:29:41.499-08:002016-11-15T13:29:41.499-08:00Doc, I kind of have a different view.

So I think your locks are Smith and Okert on the left, and Law and Strickland on the right. That is a little young, but with the right closer, we should be ok. Then I think Suarez v. Blach for long, although I tend to think somehow Cain ends up on the DL for the season and Blach is the 5th guy. Suarez was really good in the short to mid space. That leaves a closer, and then 1 - 2 more depending on how big the rotation is. To me, it seems like Gearrin v. Kontos for that guy (unless we go with an 8 man pen). <br /><br />I love Osich when the season started but he seemed to never get any traction. And with Okert being several years his junior and the better prospect, I see them giving him the nod. Would love to see a 7 man pen and with the four main starters being able to go deep, now would be the time.PiLamBearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-87584882068107665412016-11-15T10:12:20.057-08:002016-11-15T10:12:20.057-08:00Not sure where else to ask this, so I thought I wo...Not sure where else to ask this, so I thought I would drop it here. I see that the Giants have signed Marrero, Josh Johnson, Calixte, and Dominguez. All guys with some upside and very little risk. What are thoughts on whether or not we will see any of them in SF next year? Will any be contributors?jjwsfgiantsnoreply@blogger.com
