How the Giants will start the season defensively is a mystery, however there are several certainties. Bengie Molina is expected to be the Giants’ starting catcher, with either Eliezer Alfonzo or Guillermo Rodriguez backing him up. The thirty-three year old veteran, Molina is an excellent defensive catcher with a .994 career fielding percentage, however he does struggle throwing out baserunners. Other players guaranteed starting roles include forty year old shortstop Omar Vizquel (The Man With The Golden Glove), newcomer Aaron Rowand, and rightfielder Randy Winn. The remaining outfield and infield possibilities are endless as the team is stacked with solid outfielders and infielders that are capable of playing all around the diamond.
