"Everything sounds good," Evans said on Wednesday. "I don't think there are any concerns going in [to Spring Training]. ... I think if Susac is healthy and performs well, he's the most likely choice to be our backup."
Common sense requires the Giants to stockpile alternatives to Susac, who hit .218 with three home runs and 14 RBIs in 52 games last year:
• Trevor Brown, who looked polished during a late-season, 13-game stint with the Giants and will participate in his first Major League camp.
• Non-roster invitee George Kottaras, a seven-year Major League veteran who has played for seven teams.
