Two former Phillies sluggers, Hunter Pence and Darin Ruf, could be Giants DHs
Just as Philadelphia Phillies non-roster invitee utility player Neil Walker believes he will benefit from the expanded 30-man rosters at the start of the 2020 season, one of the team’s former sluggers — San Francisco Giants non-roster invitee Darin Ruf — could as well.
In a recent Zoom chat with broadcasters, Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi twice mentioned Ruf as a potential designated hitter opposite left-handed pitchers.
