SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Opening Day is fast approaching, and that means the Giants must start the process of culling their roster down to 28 players. Wait, 28, is that right? Yes, MLB teams will be all…
Outside looking in: LHP Sam Long*, RHP Jakob Junis*, RHP John Brebbia*, RHP Sean Hjelle*, RHP Tyler Beede
That kind of continuity is almost unheard in major-league bullpens. It’s especially useful coming from a group that led all of baseball with a 2.99 ERA last season. It could also come in handy in a bullpen that, as of now, has no set closers. Doval, McGee and Rogers are expected to share those duties, at least to start the season.
With 19 games in the first 20 days of the season, the Giants could opt to emphasize arms that can stretch for a couple innings in relief or make a spot start — that could give Long or Junis the upper hand — or they may choose to employ a similar carousel of relievers as they did last season. Take Gabe Kapler’s assessment of Beede against Sam Long, after a recent spring game in which Beede touched 97 mph but allowed four runs in 1⅔ innings and Long struck out four over two scoreless frames.
