A recurring theme hovers over the start of camp for the San Francisco Giants as health plagues a team still capable of contending. Besides manufacturing runs and pitching, Bruce Bochy hopes to leave Arizona with a roster at full strength.
Last season became a washout before the first pitch got thrown. A freak injury to Madison Bumgarner after taking a line drive off his hand shelved the ace for almost half a season. The year before saw him injure himself while riding a dirt bike before the Giants took on the Colorado Rockies in Denver.
