SAN FRANCISCO -- On Friday afternoon, the Giants announced the list of players and team officials available to fans at FanFest. It was pretty standard, with most players set to attend but a few big names -- notably Madison Bumgarner, who has skipped in the past -- waiting until spring training to come out of offseason hibernation mode.
There was one big difference from previous years, though. There's no marquee addition for the team to introduce, at least not yet. There will be no autograph line for a Johnny Cueto or Mark Melancon or Andrew McCutchen or Evan Longoria.
