Mailbag: Why Gorkys Hernandez, not Steven Duggar, made the Giants' roster

SAN FRANCISCO — This seems a good time to take a deep breath and remember that Neil Ramirez, Aaron Hill and Chris Marrero were on the opening day roster last season.

(No offense, guys.)

For all the attention that’s paid to the roster all spring, the actual 25-man group is pretty insignificant in certain respects. The Giants could make two bullpen changes by the end of the weekend, depending on how many innings the group needs to soak up at Dodger Stadium. It’s not hard to picture Steven Duggar being back in two weeks, either, and by April 10, either Tyler Beede or Andrew Suarez should be in the rotation, leading to other changes.
