"When the Giants Come to Town..." is my blog intended to chronicle my thoughts on San Francisco Giants baseball. My special interest is in prospects and the farm system, but of course, will comment on all aspects of the San Francisco Giants. I will also comment on baseball in general, particularly from a fantasy baseball perspective. I hope you will find the site informative, and invite you to join in the discussion.

Spring Training Update: Giants Sign Trevor Cahill
The Giants today signed RHP Trevor Cahill to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Cahill has been around the block a few times, so it's hard to believe he is still just 32 years old. He's had his ups and downs both as a SP and RP and is coming off a particularly difficult year with the Angels with whom he posted a 5.98 ERA. But in 2018, he had a strong season for the A's with an ERA of 3.76 so a bounceback is definitely possible. The main culprit in his 2019 performance seems to be a sharp drop in his groundball rate which led to a whopping 25 HR allowed in just 102.1 IP. If he can correct that, Cahill can be a valuable back-end SP or multi-inning RP. Nice low risk/high reward signing here.
