SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Michael Morse had proven himself to the Giants. Before he strained his left hamstring in a game on Monday, he had done enough impressive and improbable things this spring to gallop his way onto the opening day roster.
Now the Giants are hoping that Morse proved enough to himself, too. They hope he will forego his pledge to retire in the event he did not make the club, and instead put in the time to rehab the injury before working his way back at Triple-A Sacramento.
“This should show him he still has some baseball left – some good baseball,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
