SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–After the Giants’ first off day of the spring Tuesday, manager Bruce Bochy created a lineup loaded with most of the players expected to start on Opening Day.
While there’s still a battle for the starting center field job (we’ll discuss that soon), the only Giants’ regular sitting on Wednesday against the Padres is catcher Buster Posey.
Posey is battling a sore left ankle, but he took batting practice and participated in fielding drills during the Giants’ morning workout.
The fact so many regulars are in the lineup is a great sign for fans purchasing tickets at Scottsdale Stadium, but even better for those of us who want an extensive chance to evaluate a revamped lineup.
