San Francisco Giants Riding the Pine: Kyle Blanks
Kyle Blanks was destined for stardom after bursting onto the major league stage at only 22 years of age, but an inability to stay on the field has continually derailed the promising slugger’s pursuit of success. Nearly a decade after his debut, Blanks has an opportunity to rebound from a series of injuries and revive a major-league career on life support with the San Francisco Giants.
The San Francisco Giants and Kyle Blanks agreed to another minor-league contract this past October after he missed the entirety of 2016 recovering from an Achilles injury. Unfortunately for Blanks, injuries have become the norm for his career rather than the exception.
