For years, the San Francisco Giants have functioned with not nearly enough shortstop depth behind Brandon Crawford. However, that is a trend that is quickly changing.
While Crawford remains firmly entrenched in the shortstop role, the Giants' major league roster has plenty of depth behind the long-time shortstop for the first time in a long while.
Similarly, team president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi is adding depth through the minor league ranks as well.
Do you even remember who was the back-up shortstop in 2017? Or 2018?
The answers may surprise you. Kelby Tomlinson and Eduardo Nunez saw some time there in 2017, whereas Tomlinson along with Alen Hanson split time backing up Crawford in 2018.
