With the start of the season just a little over a week away, it’s time to start getting serious. San Francisco Giants reliever Will Smith will likely have Tommy John Surgery, which is a big blow to the Giants bullpen. They’ll have to decide who’s going to step in Smith’s role as a lefty specialist.
Only time will tell who manager Bruce Bochy is most comfortable with. I’m sure he’s already kicking the tires on Josh Osich, Steven Okert and possibly Ty Blach if he’s not in the starting rotation.
