SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have a lot of holes on their roster, but there’s one area where the needs are particularly glaring.
At the moment, there is one outfielder, Steven Duggar, who looks like a solid bet to be a starter on Opening Day, but even he faces question marks after having his rookie season cut short by shoulder surgery. Farhan Zaidi needs a couple of solutions for the corner spots, and depending on what he does with the arbitration-eligible Gorkys Hernandez, he may need another player capable of handling center.
The Giants have some internal options — Chris Shaw, Mac Williamson, Austin Slater — but the free agent market provides plenty of different looks.
