San Francisco Giants Skipper Not Looking Towards Prospects To Help Struggling Offense

The San Francisco Giants have struggled mightily to start the year, only scoring 46 runs through their 13 games that puts them tied for 20th in the league.

Outside of their opening series, this offense has not scored more than four runs in a single game.

Much of that has to do with their inability to hit when they have men on base, something that irked manager Bob Melvin after the latest frustrating result on Tuesday.

With the Giants needing something to help their lineup, fans have been clamoring for the front office and coaching staff to make some roster moves that would call up minor leaguers and their star prospects.

However, Melvin isn’t ready to make these types of changes according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

“I don’t think we’re at that point right now. We have a group of guys that we’re going to run out there for a while. We’re what, 11 games into it? I think that’s kind of a small sample size as far as what our offense is going to look like,” he said.

Melvin did make some changes to his lineup on Wednesday as Jung Hoo Lee and Lamont Wade got the day off, while the backend of the order also had some new faces and was shifted around.

It will be interesting to see when San Francisco might make the move to some other options.

Their No. 1 prospect, Marco Luciano, has recorded 13 hits across 35 at-bats in his nine Triple-A games so far this season. He’s also driven in five runs and has walked nine times compared to striking out 12.

The Giants desperately need to close out their home series against the Washington Nationals on a positive note as they head to the east coast for a six-game road trip before returning back home.
