Most of the San Francisco Giants’ focus seems to be on fixing the outfield, which is something they certainly need to do. Outfield isn’t the only concern, though, and the team has to get a bit stronger in the bullpen, particularly on the left-handed side.
Will Smith will be back in 2018, as long as there are no unforeseen setbacks, and he should figure heavily into the Giants’ bullpen plans. He pitched well down the stretch in 2016 after a trade brought him over from Milwaukee, posting a 2.95 ERA while striking out 12.8 batters per nine innings, but Tommy John surgery ended his 2017 season before it ever started.
