Coming off shoulder surgery, Conforto is a likelier candidate to play LF, Farhan Zaidi said.
The Giants’ annual Opening Day tradition, trotting out a new face in left field every season since Barry Bonds’ retirement, appears set to continue this season for the 16th consecutive year.
“I would imagine having Conforto in left and Haniger in right,” Zaidi said. “… Not saying that’s locked in, but that’s sort of how we’re thinking about it right now.” With Conforto, however, there are concerns about his throwing arm, which makes him a likelier candidate for left. He missed all of last season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder. Before the operation, he had one of the strongest outfield arms in the majors, but he hasn’t tested it in game action since.While they may not seem to be the conventional answer to the Giants’ defensive woes from last season, Zaidi believes they will still be better off.
