SF Giants Rumors: More Nuggets, Sit Down Session With Bochy And Sabean
Here are more nuggets from the sit down session with San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy and GM Brian Sabean at Giants Media Day. I had a chance to ask Bochy who would be plan B if closer Brian Wilson can’t go at the start of the season. Bochy said you can start with Sergio Romo and Javier Lopez. He also said everyone in the bullpen can move up a spot.
“It’s nice to have a luxury of having five or six guys who aren’t afraid to pitch in that ninth inning,” said Bochy.
Sabean also chimed in on their ace pitcher Tim Lincecum.
“Timmy likes San Francisco. He’s been treated very well here. He’s been compensated very well along the whole way. As it turns out, I think it was a win-win to get these two years out of the way. To kind of give us a base-line for how we can go forward,” said Sabean.
“Our budget can hold both Lincecum and Cain (Matt Cain), and try to get more offense in here,” said Sabean.
I asked Sabean if the Ryan Theriot signing means Brandon Crawford would be on a shorter leash.
“I don’t think so. We all want Crawford to be the shortstop going into Spring Training. No matter really what kind of Spring Training he has. We think he’s that talented with the glove,” said Sabean.
