Just how right-leaning will the Giants be come Opening Day?

All offseason, I’ve had this gnawing sense that the San Francisco Giants are simply too right-handed in their position player group. Yesterday, Brady looked at the battle for the fifth starter spot in the rotation, a situation that hadn’t even popped into my mind until I read the post (I just assumed Birdsong was a lock).

Right now, the Giants have just six left-handed hitters on their 40-man roster: LaMonte Wade Jr., Jung Hoo Lee, Grant McCray, Wade Meckler, Mike Yastrzemski, and Brett Wisely. Wisely is the only middle infielder out of this bunch, and that’s really important here.
