The Giants are keeping it competitive at every spot this spring and manager Gabe Kapler talks often of the desire to let player moves be decided purely on merit.
But the options game will be a part of the equation as the front office and coaching staff put together the 26-man roster in about three weeks, with some deserving players getting squeezed out because they can still be sent back and forth. Some others might have a leg up when decisions are made because the Giants can’t send them to Triple-A.
That especially might be the case in the bullpen.
