Your 2018 Giants: Opening Day Roster

The Giants Opening Day Roster was released after the last exhibition game.  NBC Sports reported who made it:

• SP:  Blach, Cueto, Holland, Stratton (in rotation order)
• RP:  The eight-man bullpen currently consists of Mark Melancon, Sam Dyson, Tony Watson, Hunter Strickland, Josh Osich, Cory Gearrin, Pierce Johnson and Roberto Gomez, although Melancon could open the year on the DL.
• C:  Posey, Hundley (Sandoval is the emergency catcher)
• IF:  Belt, Panik, Longoria, Crawford; Sandoval, Tomlinson
• OF:  Pence, Jackson, McCutchen; Blanco, Hernandez

Pavlovic had more info on the two new guys:

Johnson and Gomez were the last two to make it, and both benefited from the fact that they can throw two to three innings for a staff that doesn’t have a designated long man. Johnson is a particularly cool story. He was part of the first round of cuts on March 12 but threw well in minor league camp and again when he was called up for spot duty with the big leaguers. In seven spring innings, he allowed just one hit.

2016 Giants: Spring Training Winding Down

With the recent cuts announced - RHP Clayton Blackburn, LHP Ty Blach, LHP Steven Okert, 1B/OF Kyle Blanks, LHP Ricky Romero, RHP Vin Mazzaro, OF Ryan Lollis, and SS Hak-Ju Lee - leaving the Giants with 35 players in big league camp, including six non-roster invitees, I thought I would recap some of the news, giving a State of the Roster post, and share some of my thoughts and mistakes.
