SAN FRANCISCO -- About an hour into Friday's media availability at Oracle Park, a door opened up on the suite level and a team employee rolled a scooter out into the hallway. It was unconnected to the day's events, but a couple of Giants laughed at the coincidence.
The team got back together for the first time since September, and players spoke to the media with the knowledge that the band was somewhat getting back together, too. Hunter Pence passed a physical Friday afternoon and signed a one-year contract that could pay him up to $5.
