CINCINNATI – It is the first weekend in May, and Justin Ruggiano is the seventh different Giant to start in left field this season.
That’s a pretty good indication that management’s plan for the position blew up. And maybe two or three contingency plans, too.
None of that is Ruggiano’s business. He’s here to contribute as best he can, and after getting five hits in his last nine at-bats for Triple-A Sacramento, he said he feels ready to make an impact at the plate.
“You try to be a piece of the puzzle and contribute in any way I can contribute,” Ruggiano said.
