Broadcaster Mike Krukow was asked on a radio interview with KNBR in San Francisco how the 2018 team was looking. His response in a word, “professional.”
Krukow sees “a completely different team than the one from last year.” Additions like Evan Longoria, Andrew McCutchen, Austin Jackson and Tony Watson bring in more veterans who know how to win games and come to the park each and every day.
San Francisco also has a team full of players who have won in a Giants uniform. Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Brandon Crawford, Johnny Cueto, Hunter Pence, Brandon Belt, Joe Panik, Mark Melancon, Jeff Samardzija, and others have to wear each and every one of those 98 losses from 2017.
