On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the latest with the San Francisco Giants, as Opening Day approaches. The Giants optioned LaMonte Wade Jr. on Sunday, which appeared to set their 13-man position player group. Notably, it would appear that Evan Longoria and Brandon Belt should be good to go for the opener. Their status was in doubt after dealing with injuries and illnesses for much of spring.
Logan Webb earned the third spot in the Giants' rotation with his stellar spring. Webb struck out 17 and walked one through his first 11 innings in camp, with one final tuneup scheduled for today against the Oakland A's. Webb will pitch ahead of Anthony DeSclafani, which Ben thinks could be to get the best possible matchups against the Padres, whom the Giants play in their second series of the year.
Heliot Ramos won the Barney Nugent Award, which is voted on by players, coaches, and staff as the Giants' best first-year player in major league spring training. Ramos was impressive all the way through camp, hitting for power and showcasing him impressive mix of tools. Ramos figures to start the season in Double-A, but could make his way to the majors this year.
