Evaluating the 2021 Giants' outfield




Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants show

Summary: Some good, some bad, some in between. On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick evaluates the 2021 Giants' outfield. In many ways this group was disappointing overall, but there was some good performance and even a legitimate breakout. Mike Yastrzemski followed up his MVP-caliber 2020 with somewhat of a dud in 2021. His offense dipped to mediocre levels, although he continued to play strong defense. Alex Dickerson fell off a cliff and seems like a definite non-tender candidate. Austin Slater seemed to take a step back from 2020, but his numbers clearly indicate he continued to be a force against left-handed pitching. LaMonte Wade Jr. broke out and became Late Night LaMonte. Darin Ruf was a monster at the plate and figure to be back. Overall, the Giants have a ton of flexibility when it comes to their outfield. Not one player is under guaranteed contract, but almost everyone can be retained if the Giants so desire. The one exception is Kris Bryant, who is a free agent, but the Giants have tons of freed up money and can choose to spend some of it on an outfielder if they so desire. Ben names Starling Marte, Chris Taylor, and others among the outfielders the Giants may attempt to sign. Watch Daily on YouTube http://bit.ly/LOGYouTube Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
