Giants could miss another top hitter after Longo injury – NBC Sports Bay Area

Yastrzemski may get his desire. The Giants brought Baragar and right-hander Sam Wolff to camp late, but made it clear both were being added to spice up the bullpen competitors.

Baragar had a strong year in the Double-A rotation last year and has two good getaways in front of the major league staff. With Tony Watson returning from shoulder tightness and Jarlin Garcia having actually spent just 2 days in camp, the bullpen is a little light on left-handed depth..

” Im not saying Caleb is a Hall-of-Famer,” Kapler stated, smiling. “But the delivery advised us in the dugout of Pettitte.”.

That smooth delivery concealed an effective fastball that flummoxed teammates in Thursdays game. Baragar set out Austin Slater, Mike Yastrzemski and Patrick Bailey, allowing just a single to Will Wilson..

SAN FRANCISCO– When seeing a brand-new pitcher on the mound, Giants coaches are much like fans in one regard. They invest some time trying to determine a comp for the young gamer..

After Caleb Baragar pitched two strong innings in an intrasquad video game Thursday, supervisor Gabe Kapler dropped an excellent one. He stated the left-handed relievers delivery advised coaches of Andy Pettitte..

” The ball blows up out of his hand,” Yastrzemski said. “He looked truly, truly great. I believe hes got an excellent future ahead of him and ideally we see him as soon as possible. He tossed the ball really well today.”.

” He has truly attacked the strike zone in both getaways,” Kapler stated. Its certainly encouraging to see him come out and be comfy and so aggressive on the mound.”.

— Two veterans homered in the intrasquad game: Wilmer Flores and Hunter Pence, who struck a screamer to left..

There wasnt much details about Longoria on Thursday night, however obliques are notoriously cumbersome for hitters and it does not sound excellent. Longoria was having a good camp and was potentially one of two or 3 everyday gamers in the lineup..

— Shaun Anderson was optioned out of camp simply prior to spring training closed down, however hes back now and right in the mix for a bullpen job. Anderson got the last inning and gave up a bloop to Bart before striking out the side..

— Joey Bart has really satisfied defensively the last couple of days, throwing out a couple of runners. This isnt the best angle of the full play, but take a look at the release and seed to 2nd.

— The Giants could start the season down three of their middle-of-the-order players. Buster Posey chose out, Brandon Belt has an aching heel and now Evan Longoria has an ideal oblique stress. Longoria felt it while swinging a bat and has not played in the last couple of camp games..

Heres what Yastrzemski stated: “Will Wilsons swing has actually been coming along really well. Undoubtedly watching the guys like Joey and Ramos, theyre kind of the high-pedigree guys who simply look like they fit in.”.

— Finally, the most crucial concern of the spring, from the fantastic Hank Schulman: How did Boston react to the quarterback shuffle?

Hes an incredible professional athlete and certainly he brings a high level of competitiveness to the team,” Yastrzemski stated. We had people that were sad, angry, and individuals that were living on past memories. Itll be strange not seeing No. 12 be our quarterback but well get through it.”.
