Erik Miller made a strong return in his first Cactus League appearance, striking out three batters in a scoreless inning. As the sole left-handed reliever on the Giants' 40-man roster, his role for the upcoming season seems secure. However, the team's preference for more lefty options in the bullpen raises questions about their depth; Manager Bob Melvin acknowledges that having two lefties is ideal, particularly against left-handed hitters. The competition among other left-handed pitchers in camp is ongoing, and they are evaluating their performance closely.
"It's definitely interesting. Those are obviously decisions that are way above my pay grade. Obviously, it's not conventional... It would probably help (to have more than one lefty)," Miller said.
"Having two lefties in the pen is ideal, especially if one can throw multiple innings," Melvin said, emphasizing the need for effective options.
