Giants’ Mailbag: The short-term and long-term questions facing the team

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.
