Okay, I think the Giants are done making big moves and it's February after the Super Bowl which means baseball is almost here. 2015 Rosterbation (offseason edition) is over, now it's time for 25 man rosterbation. And right on cue, the Giants announced their Spring Training invites.
Here's all 22 of them.
Pitchers (12)
• LHP Tyson Blach
• RHP Clayton Blackburn
• RHP Brett Bochy
• RHP Kyle Crick
• RHP Cory Gearrin
• RHP Juan Gutierrez
• LHP Braulio Lara
• LHP Adalberto Mejia
• LHP Steven Okert
• RHP Curtis Partch
• RHP Chris Stratton
• LHP Nikolas Turley
Catchers (3)
• Aramis Garcia
• Guillermo Quiroz
• Tyler Ross
Infielders (5)
• Christian Arroyo
• Mitchell Delfino
• Brandon Hicks
• Kelby Tomlinson
• Carlos Triunfel
Outfielders (2)
• Justin Maxwell
• Mac Williamson
Something I already noticed this year compared to previous years is the amount of top prospects that are invited to camp. Blackburn, Crick, Blach, Mejia, Arroyo (!), Garcia, Williamson, Okert and Stratton are all in the top 12-15 of Giants prospects. Help is on the way folks, the wave of pitchers from the minors is approaching. Now, I say the only guy with a chance of making the team is Okert, but it's great to get these guys exposed to the ML players, especially Posey.
More on Okert, he is the Derek Law of last year. I think he will be given a legit shot at making the bullpen out of ST. I'm not sure how this competition is going to shake out though. Assuming Bum, Cain, Peavy, Lincecum, Petit, Vogelsong, KCYa, Javy, JA, Romo, Machi all are guaranteed, that makes 11, creating a competition between Kontos, Strickland, Gutierrez, Hall and Okert, plus which ever random pitcher lights it up in ST. If Huddy is ready to go though, he is the 12th guy, and Lincecum, Petit and Vogey will battle for the 5th starter.
Anyway, I just wanted to start a new thread and move away from the Rosterbation behemoth thread, and I figured today's announcement of ST invites could get the ball rolling.
Here's all 22 of them.
