With some other contending teams reportedly interested in signing a multi-year veteran pitcher, the San Francisco Giants could take a look to bolster their rotation.
Instead, they made some moves as a salary dump while also keeping this roster together with the intent of competing for a spot in the playoffs.
Because they got off to such an inconsistent start, it's going to be an uphill battle, but for their decision to make sense after not becoming sellers, this group has to make a push down the stretch or they will wasted a massive opportunity to improve this organization as a whole.
Still, one of their salary dumps was starter Alex Cobb, opting to move him and rely on their young rookie Hayden Birdsong to be a key fifth member of this group.that the top prospect wouldn't be able to carry his weight during the final two months of the season, and that seemed to be fully on display in his last outing when he gave up seven earned runs in two innings of work, striking out only one batter and walking three.
If the 22-year-old isn't able to be the starter they need him to be down the stretch, could they look for some outside help to boost this rotation for the remainder of the season?"The data from recent throwing sessions have been positive, with his curveball remaining a plus-pitch," he reported as the left-hander gets ready to throw for teams on Friday.
There was no indication that San Francisco is one of those teams who are interested in signing Hill, but this would present them with a cheap, veteran option to immediately slot into their rotation and help them make a push into the postseason.Brad Wakai graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Journalism.
