More on the potential opening roster…
Using my last observation…
Grant Brisbee at The Athletic is suggesting:
Wisely in, Piscotty out
Hjelle in, DeSclafani out (IL)
My thoughts on these suggestions:
The 40 man roster will influence the decision-making process.
Currently, there are 39 players on the 40 man (Gonzalez will be moved to the 60 Day IL following his back surgery tomorrow).
That leaves one open spot (Perez?).
Next up: Sabol. If SF does not place him on the 40 man, he must be placed on waivers. If he is not picked up by another team, he must then be offered back to Pittsburgh. Since the Giants don’t want to lose him, look for him to be added to the 40 man at the expense of someone else.
That puts Piscotty in a tough situation. Do the Giants want to cut a second man from the 40 man? Is there another player who could be put on the 60 Day IL?
Putting DeSclafani on the IL gives him more time to recover from his ankle surgery. Since the Giants have multiple SP options, that should not be an issue.
Lastly, Wisely is the “Crawford insurance policy”.
