Giants placed JD Davis on waivers.

Giants played 5 innings today. Pitchers gave up one walk and two hits in a 5-1 win over the A's.

New pickup Matt Chapman went 1 for 2 with a walk.

Stanford alum Austin Slater went 0 for 3 with 3 strikeouts.

Erstwhile reliever-turned-starter Jordan Hicks struck out six in three innings and allowed no hits and one walk.

Due to his salary, there is a good possibility that Davis may clear waivers and become a free agent.

His salary is less than $7 mms., so I think he'll actually get picked up. His OPS+ was 103 last year, but 113 for his career, and he is crushing it this spring. The Blue Jays, Mariners, Brewers, Padres and Yankees can all use him, among other teams. Maybe the Mets want him back. Incidentally, since JD beat the Giants in arbitration, his full salary is not guaranteed. My bet is the Mariners.

Be nice if he gets picked up, then the Giants can (hopefully) apply that $7 million towards getting Snell or Montgomery...
