One could look at the fact that both of these men, who have done everything and a little more for the San Francisco Giants, are aging and get a little uneasy. It really wouldn’t seem right to see Bruce Bochy or Hunter Pence finish their careers with different ball clubs. However, this could be a possibility no matter what happens this year.
With Pence’s contract up this year and Bochy’s up next year, it seems that our precious time with these two individuals could be dwindling precariously. Even if Hunter turns it around and finishes with some respectable numbers this year, it’s still tough to imagine him back next year unless he were willing to not start and take a pay cut.
