SAN FRANCISCO — When Steven Duggar was sent to Triple-A at the end of the spring, he wasn’t the only one to be disappointed. Some of the Giants' veteran starting pitchers had hoped to have Duggar’s glove behind them in center field.
Duggar did finally make it up in July, and he certainly showed that he can be a defensive game-changer for the Giants. The bat is a work in progress, but he made real strides in his final few games.
Unfortunately, that’s when he got hurt. Duggar ended up having shoulder surgery, and even a few weeks after his season ended, Giants manager Bruce Bochy still was bummed about how it all went down.
