Spring Training Update: Giants Release 17 Players

The Giants cleaned out some of their spring training logjam from both their major and minor league camps.  When and if spring training resumes, the focus will be on getting quickly determining the Opening Day rosters and getting players in shape to start the season.  These guys were not going to be in that mix, but let's give them a tip of the cap for a noble effort.

Jerry Blevins LHP- maybe a bit of a surprise but Jarlin Garcia and Wandy Peralta are also veteran lefties who were much more impressive in the early camp and have more potential longterm value.

Matt Carasiti RHP- Impressive in early camp but underwent TJ surgery.

Brandon Guyer OF- Strictly a RH platoon option, his exit ticket was probably punched when the Giants signed Hunter Pence. They also have Joey Rickard who can play that role quite well.

Minor leaguers released include Jamie Callahan(RHP), Israel Cruz(RHP), Dylan Davis(RHP), Logan Harasta(RHP), Trevor Horn(RHP), Andy Rohloff(RHP), Ben Strahm(RHP), Deiyerbert Bolivar(LHP), Chris Corbett(C), Kyle McPherson(2B), Gio Brusa(OF), Mikey Edie(OF), Jose Layer(OF), Randy Norris(OF).

No real surprises in this list.
