Splash Hit Territory

Can Jerar Encarnación force his way onto the roster?

"I think he could be an everyday third baseman for a lot of teams, and a lot of teams feel the same way too." @susanslusser says if the Giants are looking to clear a roster logjam, Casey Schmitt could be a potential trade candidate.

Is Bryce Eldridge going to make the Opening Day roster?

Teams are trying to figure out how to handle ABS and their challenges. @susanslusser and @FightinHydrant agree that teams should keep a challenge in their pocket for late in the game.

"We want you to help us win." Drew Gilbert talks about coming into the Giants' clubhouse as a rookie and feeling the love.

Drew Gilbert developed a bond with Matt Chapman last season: "He's always been great to me. Chappy's the best. I'm glad that he's my teammate."

Drew Gilbert says Buster Posey "wants it to be intense" when it comes to the way the Giants are on the field in between the lines.

"I don't think it's going to be as big of a difference as people think. I don't see any reason he's not going to be able to bring it for 162." Drew Gilbert is not worried about first-time manager Tony Vitello.

"I have total belief in him and I think all the guys do as well." Drew Gilbert talks about playing for his college coach, Tony Vitello, and dispels the Vitello comment that he was brought in to babysit him. 😂

Is Bryce Eldridge ready to go for the Giants? @susanslusser says scouts are "weirdly split" on Eldridge.

"Bench guys should be seen and not heard." @FightinHydrant says the Giants could fill a bench role with someone more veteran rather than a young guy who may want more playing time.

Erik Miller's back issue has slowed him down this spring but he should be able to get ready in time for Opening Day if all stays well.
