San Francisco Giants make a couple of unexpected spring training cuts

The San Francisco Giants officially announced the first round of cuts from their spring training roster on Friday morning to trim the roster down from 72 players to 55. And among those cuts were a few notable players who Giants fans will recognize.

But among those who were cut, a few names stand out as true surprises.
