Mason Black Could Make Starting Rotation
9 months agoSan Francisco Giants starting pitcher Mason Black is a candidate for the Opening Day rotation, according to manager Bob Melvin. The 24-year-old has been floated around as a possible option for the Giants rotation, but now the team confirms it. Black pitched fairly well in the minors last season as he struck out 155 batters over 123 2/3 innings of work between Double-A and Triple-A. He hasn't pitched great in camp but appears to have the edge over Spencer Howard and Daulton Jefferies. Given his strikeout ability, Black might be able to carve out some deep league value if he makes the team.
