San Francisco Giants: Three Outside Options to Fill Left Field Void
By Jason Reed
If the San Francisco Giants want to win it all, they are going to need to fill their left field void. Who exactly should they trade for?
The San Francisco Giants were unable to keep their even-year streak alive in 2016, as they finally fell victim to the powerhouse Cubs. It did not happen without a fight, though, and if it weren’t for a late game meltdown they very likely would have taken the series.
Now, heading into 2017, the Giants have another streak to worry about. This, of course, is the odd-year streak that has seen them miss the playoffs in every odd year since 2005. The last time the Giants made the postseason in an odd year was 2003, marking six consecutive odd-year sit outs.
However, the Giants seem to be making leaps and bounds with their ball club. They improved their biggest area of need, the closer role, and still have a stellar pitching staff. Their offense is great, making the Giants a few tools away from being World Series-bound. Those tools, being the rest of the bullpen and left field, need to be addressed.
Today, we are going to discuss how the San Francisco Giants can fix their void in left field. Not to knock Jarrett Parker, as he has had a great spring, but the Giants need a more dynamic player in left field.
Therefore, the San Francisco Giants could end up pursuing one of these three players should they look to fill their left field void.
