SAN FRANCISCO -- Hunter Pence paused when asked if he’ll have a normal offseason.
"I don’t ever have a normal day," Pence said. "So probably not."
This season certainly wasn’t a normal one for Pence. The right fielder with the reputation for durability played in just 52 games between a fractured forearm, wrist tendinitis and a strained oblique muscle. He is still recovering from the latter injury, which rendered him unable to unleash his trademark violent swing.
Pence, though, said before Sunday’s season finale that he hopes to be cleared soon from the oblique injury to start offseason workouts.
