As reported by Baggarly yesterday, the Giants with recent cuts are pretty much down to the expected Opening Day roster. Per Baggs, this is the probable roster:
- LHP Madison Bumgarner
- RHP Johnny Cueto
- RHP Jeff Samardzija
- RHP Jake Peavy
- RHP Matt Cain
- RHP Chris Heston
- RHP George Kontos
- RHP Cory Gearrin
- RHP Hunter Strickland
- LHP Josh Osich
- LHP Javier Lopez
- RHP Sergio Romo
- RHP Santiago Casilla
- C Buster Posey
- C Trevor Brown
- 1B Brandon Belt
- 2B Joe Panik
- SS Brandon Crawford
- 3B Matt Duffy
- LF Angel Pagan
- CF Denard Span
- RF Hunter Pence
- C Trevor Brown
- INF Kelby Tomlinson
- OF Gregor Blanco
- INF/OF Ehire Adrianza
This was after the Giants optioned down Jarrett Parker, Mac Williamson, and Mike Broadway, as well as six non-roster invitees: left-hander Braulio Lara, outfielder Gorkys Hernandez, infielder Grant Green, infielder Conor Gillaspie, infielder Ramiro Pena and catcher George Kottaras. And probable because if Susac is healthy, he could get the backup catcher role instead of Brown, who has gotten good reviews from pitchers this spring for how he handles them.
