GLENDALE, Ariz. — One of the themes for the Giants this spring is caution with an older team. Pitchers are not being rushed onto the mound and regulars are getting ample time to prepare their bodies for the season’s rigors.
Buster Posey has not played, partly because of what manager Bruce Bochy termed an ankle “tweak.” Shortstop Brandon Crawford and center fielder Austin Jackson will not play until Thursday to ensure that Crawford’s right shoulder and Jackson’s legs are ready.
Posey was better Saturday and took batting practice in Scottsdale.
