Kurtenbach: 3 bold roster moves for the surging SF Giants

Things are going well with the youth movement, but the veterans are poised to return.

San Francisco Giants’ Marco Luciano fields a ball hit by Colorado Rockies’ Brendan Rodgers in the first inning at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, May 19, 2024. Rodgers was thrown out at first base. The Giants’ youth movement has been a boon to the team, which has won eight of its last 10 games and, following Monday’s win over the Phillies, sits in a Wild Card spot in the National League.

But with the state of the Giants rotation, I think San Francisco should stretch the big man out once again. As for Hjelle, he’s a placeholder, but he deserves the shot to prove he can be more. You can get away with a four- man rotation late in a season, but it’s not yet June — the Giants need another starter and Winn isn’t the guy. Hjelle might be.San Francisco Giants |

Meanwhile, I’m noticing that Flores has lost some bat speed from last year, and he didn’t have much to lose. And while I’m constantly compared to fellow Mizzou Tiger Brad Pitt , I won’t pretend playing first base is easy.
