But I don't blame him for asking for the Pence, he's the youngest hitter in a long time to hit FA, he plays at a position that doesn't have anything on the open market worth a can of beans, and he's still got a ton of potential. I don't think the Giants should throw the Pence at him, he hasn't earned it. But I do think some other team will pay him that... unless he gets hurt again.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-3538429740953077532014-03-23T14:16:51.405-07:002014-03-23T14:16:51.405-07:00fat boy turned down 3/40

Hembree has been solid both last year and this spring except for that one hiccup in his first spring appearance and that seemed like it was due to not being mentally ready for that first appearance. Cordier has a checkered history with his control/command, but has looked very good this spring. I just think the bullpen needs at least one of two of those young arms with overpowering stuff to start getting MLB experience. I like Machi, but he is what he is. I don't see much of a higher ceiling there. I think I'd rather see his spot go to one of the younger dudes who throws hard now and has upside.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-54360464954558834262014-03-23T01:17:19.102-07:002014-03-23T01:17:19.102-07:00It might be a good thing to keep 2 long relievers ...It might be a good thing to keep 2 long relievers like Petit and Huff, since it gives them protection incase the SP starts off slow again...I think the bigger question for 2014 might be if the Giants younger bullpen arms like Hembree, Law, or Cordier will be good enough to step up if an injury occurs to a Romo or Casilla...<br /><br />LG<br /><br />LGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-50969934608204158022014-03-22T22:20:25.731-07:002014-03-22T22:20:25.731-07:00D'Backs not putting up much of a fight in Aust...D'Backs not putting up much of a fight in Australia.

Those 4 could all be on the 25-man, although I'd expect Hicks in Fresno is Scutaro is somehow ready for Opening Day. If he's not, I have no clue how the front office could justify Abreu over Hicks at this point (assuming Ehire gets the first IF spot). Perez has shown all the tools this spring. We know he'll run, catch and throw. Will he hit outside of AZ? I still think he makes a great 5th OF.<br /><br />Not sure how great I feel about a Machi-Petit-Huff front end of the bullpen, but I understand the reasoning behind it. I have a feeling this bullpen will see some big turnover as the season progresses.<br /><br />One more week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-3534187603121530982014-03-22T19:28:42.539-07:002014-03-22T19:28:42.539-07:00Alex P mentioned that he is unimpressed with the D...Alex P mentioned that he is unimpressed with the D'Backs roster.
