Happy New Year! The 2019 season is now officially upon us, with the Orange and Black taking their talents to Oracle South to begin the campaign.
The Giants have much to prove, with the hefty payroll of a playoff team and former All-Stars all over the diamond. Opening Days in the past have brought excitement, with the 2017 team sporting a shiny (although soon to be very, very broken) new closer in Mark Melancon and the 2018 team attempting to create the best 2013 MLB team. However this opening day had a very different feel, with new President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi adding and later DFA’ing too many players to remember, essentially trying to find the lottery ticket that was waiting to be scratched.
