SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The names are familiar to Giants fans because the pitchers have been at the threshold for so long: Tyler Beede, Joan Gregorio, Derek Law, Steven Okert and Josh Osich to name a few.
In rather pointed language, manager Bruce Bochy said Thursday these guys need to take a final leap over the threshold this spring and force their way onto the team for good.
"We're looking for these guys to step up. They're men now," Bochy said. "It's time for them to go out and win a job. You can help the players all you can with instruction, conditioning.
