The one area where the Giants left to the young players to step up was in the back of the rotation, with two starting spots open. Now, a month into Spring Training, it feels like two pitchers have stepped up and have claimed the spots for themselves.
Is this a bad thing?
Ty Blach has a 2.92 ERA across 12.1 IP, the most in Giants camp. He’s given up 11 hits and struck out 11 with just one walk. Chris Stratton has a 2.25 ERA in 12.0 IP, with 9 hits allowed, 14 struck out and four walked.
