SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–Giants outfielder Steven Duggar has fewer than two months of major league experience and just 141 at-bats to his credit.
He’s dealt with brutal injuries in each of the last two seasons and his playing time has been cut short due to stints on the injured list.
But as position players begin trickling into Giants camp in Scottsdale, Duggar finds himself with a rare opportunity. His manager, Bruce Bochy, thinks he could be the Opening Day leadoff hitter.
“I think you look at the top of the order and that’s the first spot you think about,” Bochy said.
