Let’s start with an important point: I am ABSOLUTELY into the idea of Mac Williamson being the Giants’ Chris Taylor this year. Williamson is a 6’4” tight end who can hit baseballs 500 feet and was apparently as fast as Kelby Tomlinson last year. He’s revamped his swing, and he demolished the Cactus League. Yes, yes, yes, I have already subscribed to this newsletter.
But this story won’t begin on Opening Day because Williamson was sent down. He had an option left, so it was a foregone conclusion. He’ll be back.
It’s this bureaucracy that makes the 25-man roster relatively easy to predict.
