Giants will start McCutchen, Pence in Cactus League opener

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Fans will not have to wait to see Andrew McCutchen in right field for the Giants. He will play right field in Friday's Cactus League opener against the Brewers. Hunter Pence will be in left.

They are the only projected Opening Day starters in the lineup, not because they need more time to learn new positions. Manager Bruce Bochy has watched them hit, run and track flyballs and feels they are the most ready after a few days of workouts.

Steven Duggar will start in center. Ryder Jones will be at first, Miguel Gomez at second, Kelby Tomlinson at short and Pablo Sandoval at third, with Nick Hundley catching and Jarrett Parker the DH.
