We’re less than a week through the Cactus League slate, and as usually happens in baseball, some trends are emerging for the San Francisco Giants. The offense is working, just like it’s supposed to in the hitter-friendly conditions in Arizona. The guys in competition for jobs on the pitching staff are, for the most part, putting their best foot forward in their early outings.
And the defense has been absolutely abysmal. Through six games, the team has committed 16 errors. It started last Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers, when they had six in the month’s first game. They came back well, posting a zero in the error column the next day against the Dodgers, and only one against the Cubs on Sunday.
