Asst GM Bobby Evans Twitter Chat Recap
Earlier today Vice President and Assistant General Manager Bobby Evans jumped on the Giants Twitter account and answered some questions from fans. Most of the questions that were answered seemed well thought out. It was a good job by fans asking the right questions and Evans was not afraid to give honest answers.
In this new digital age we live it’s great that fans can have this kind of access to the decision makers. Kudos to Bobby Evans and the Giants for allowing us just a little peek behind the curtain. Now, on to some of the thoughts Evans shared with Giants fans today.
On Andrew Susac and Mac Williamson. (Special appearance by our own Stuart Jones)
Project him in double-A this year, AAA next @buduardo: @SFGiants #AskBobby How close/far away is Mac Williamson from contributing in bigs?

Andrew Susac. Solid Az Fall League. He will be in Big Lg Camp. RT @HeHitsItDeeeeep: #AskBobby @SFGiants #3 catcher on the depth chart is?

On Kyle Crick
Likely 2A for Crick and hope to see him get 130 innings plus. RT @Rodas43_: #AskBobby what are the plans for crick in '14?
— SFGiants (@SFGiants) December 11, 2013
Top of the rotation prospect. Hard to trade at all. RT @Sailed7Seas84: @SFGiants #AskBobby Name 5 players that you'd trade Crick for.

Future Plans for Edwin Escobar, Gary Brown, and Heath Hembree.
Yes. I think he will be in the discussion if spot opens up. RT @AMOhoop34: @SFGiants Does Escobar have a chance of making it to bigs in '14?

Hembree good shot at pen in '14. Brown on 40man but likely 3A. RT @West_Syed: @SFGiants @Cafe_SF How far along are G Brown and H Hembree?

On Brandon Belt and Pablo Sandoval‘s roles on the team.
Every day role for him and looking for consistency. RT @BaseballEvan18: @SFGiants How much do you think Belt will contribute next year?
— SFGiants (@SFGiants) December 11, 2013
High value middle of the order bat who was our '12 WS MVP. RT @meirelon: @SFGiantsHow do you value Sandoval's contribution to organization?

And finally, that pesky Left Field situation.
1st priority would be to get depth in LF RT @GoGiants911: @SFGiants #AskBobby What's bigger priority bullpen or LF?
— SFGiants (@SFGiants) December 11, 2013
Numerous trade options to consider but can't say who's available RT @mr_sfgiants: @SFGiants Is j Bautista trade option u are looking for LF
— SFGiants (@SFGiants) December 11, 2013
I am losing count. It's a good question though. RT @actionjon5: @SFGiants how many times have you been asked, "what's up with LF?" #AskBobby
— SFGiants (@SFGiants) December 11, 2013
