As the San Francisco Giants restart spring training at Oracle Park, and with a 60-game season, they might get creative with how they form their rotation.
More than likely, the Giants will pursue a traditional approach with many of their starters, but with the caveat that starts will be shortened, especially early in the season as pitchers begin to rebuild arm strength.
With the Giants, there are few questions about the composition of the rotation. Regardless of the order, the first four starters will include Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija, Kevin Gausman, and Drew Smyly.
