San Francisco Giants roster … as it looks RIGHT now
We like doing this during the course of the offseason: putting together a 25-man opening day roster based on players currently on the Giants’ 40-man roster.
With the Giants agreeing to a deal with Jeremy Affeldt on Monday, it gives the Giants 31 players on its current 40-man roster. That roster does not include players who are currently free agents.
With Affledt’s deal, the Giants’ projected 2013 payroll based on this 25-man roster currently sits at $128.9 million.
Still at top of Giants’ offseason wishlist is to re-sign Marco Scutaro and Angel Pagan.
If the Giants do re-sign Scutaro and Pagan, I don’t see the Giants being a big player in other big-name free agents. They will look for someone on a short deal, maybe one year, maybe a right-handed outfielder or utility player, someone who could split time with Blanco. Possibilities include Jason Bay, Scott Hairston, Juan Rivera … dare way say Melky Cabrera … to name some. Also, non-tendered players could be candidates for this spot.
So here is what the Giants’ lineup and roster looks like now.
