What you see is what you get and all the money is gone according to the Giants brass. What we see is certainly not what the SF Chronicle wrote the other day.
The pitching staff is close to be being complete although I don't know who is going to replace Ramirez. He is a big loss and I don't see Runzler filling that role. They will be looking hard for a diamond in the rough fifth starter and relief pitcher.
The infield will be Belt, Sanchez (if he is ready a big question) Sandoval and Crawford with two reserves. The outfield will be Pagan, Carbrera, Schierholtz, Huff and a fifth to be named later. Posey and Sanchez will be the catchers. Sanchez lacks experience behind the plate but they need his bat if Crawford is going to play ss and Posey some 1st base.
The Giants know that Gillaspie is ready with the bat but can he play 2nd base as well as 3rd base and can first baseman Brett Pill also play the outfield? Players should play at least two positions in the minors and if they did the Giants might have the answers to these two questions. If these two players can adjust to these new positions it would leave one infield spot open probably for Fontenot who showed he could fill in at ss last year.
