The Giants outscored the Rockies in a game that could have been played in Coors Field. Game Notes:
Austin Slater CF continued to get time in CF and continued his hot hitting with a single and double in 4 AB's. He is hitting .400 on the spring and seems like a lock to make the Opening Day roster barring any more injuries.
Alex Dickerson DH had a big day at the plate with 2 singles and a very long HR in 5 AB. I have no doubt Dick will hit a ton as long as he can avoid injury. The big day brought his spring average up to .300.
Jason Vosler 3B singled and doubled in 4 AB's. His spring BA is .333. Longshot for Opening Day roster and only if Brandon Belt 1B is not ready to go by then.
You know who is very quietly having a fantastic spring? Jason Krizan 2B! He went 3 for 3 with his second HR of the spring and his batting .308. I would say there is almost no chance of Krizan making the Opening Day roster but it won't be due to lack of production in spring games.
Kevin Gausman RHP made just his second spring appearance and ran into some trouble in the 2'nd inning partly due to a throwing error by Will Wilson SS. Gausman was relieved in the second by Sam Wolff RHP but then went back out for a scoreless 3'rd inning. I guess in the spring, all's well that ends well?
Jarlin Garcia LHP and Jimmie Sherfy RHP contributed scoreless innings which were tough to come by in this game.

Anthony DeSclafani RHP makes just his second spring appearance and first since way back on May 7 against the Mariners in a night game in Scottsdale tomorrow.
Did Krizan go to the Muncy school? In the 31-yo's more than 1000 minor league games, power has not been his name. But maybe it will show up "suddenly" if he gets a shot in Sacramento.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the LHB has logged beaucoup outfield time along the way with a slew of assists.
Another thing that probably caught Farhan's eye is an exact equal number of minor league BBs and Ks, 436 in more than 4000 PAs.
