For the Giants, the actual Giants, the ones on the field and in the dugout trying to conjure ways to win, this extended lockout could be critical.
Giants second baseman Tommy La Stella, pictured in 2021, is missing key time to rehab from Achilles surgery. .So anyway, the Giants will play baseball again. We don’t know when. For the worrying fan, though, rest assured that there’s a ton more value overall in playing games than in not playing them. April simply isn’t a financially critical month, especially from the owners’ perspective, and that explains a lot about the game’s ongoing lockout.
What you need, if you’re Bart, is as many days as possible to rehearse with a pitching staff that the Giants want you to know inside and out. As many innings as possible. As many bullpens as possible. This is the monotonous but incredibly important team-building work of spring training. The rehab period for that sort of procedure is roughly four months, which puts us at … well, about now, actually. La Stella, 33, would normally be working slowly back into form on the fields in Scottsdale, the Giants monitoring to see if they’re going to need backup infield help. Instead, they can’t communicate with La Stella, not even about his recovery.
