Thursday BP: Is Logan Webb bound for the starting rotation?
Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty ImagesThe San Francisco Giants don’t figure to have a particularly good starting rotation in 2020. Even so, prospect Logan Webb has an uphill battle to climb if he wants to crack it.
You can pencil Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija, and Kevin Gausman in for 60% of the slots. They’re high-paid veterans and potential trade bait.
Then there’s veteran Tyson Ross, on a minor league contract, as well as Webb’s fellow prospects Tyler Beede, Dereck Rodriguez, Andrew Suarez, and Conner Menez. There’s even Shaun Anderson, re-converted to closer last year, who likely would love a chance to crack a rotation again. And probably some more minor league invites still to come.
