3 Giants players you may have forgotten were on the 2022 Opening Day roster

Last year, the SF Giants set an all-time record in a peculiar way. The team used a whopping 66 different players throughout the course of the 2022 regular season.

This mark comes up just short of the 2021 Chicago Cubs, who used 69 different players that year, which is just nuts.

I won't blame you if there are a few names you have forgotten from last year's squad. Heck, even on the Opening Day roster there were a handful of names that didn't make it very far into the season before being banished.

3 SF Giants players you may have forgotten were on the 2022 Opening Day roster

1. Infield Mauricio Dubon

Dubon actually spent parts of four seasons in a Giants uniform, but never did anything noteworthy and is certainly a name that will make you say, "wait, he was on that team?"

In 177 games, he had a combined 89 OPS+ for the Giants with a .259 average. He had been a decent backup infielder and occasional outfielder for the club but could never hit to save his life.

In 10 spring appearances prior the regular season, Dubon had a .280 average with two home runs, seven runs scored and six driven in. His bat seemed to be coming around a bit. This did not continue into the regular season, though. In 21 games for the Giants before being traded to the Astros, he managed to hit for a .239 average with just three extra-base hits, ending his tenure with a whimper.

2. Infielder Luke Williams

Williams, another light-hitting utilityman, squeaked onto the roster after performing well in a limited spring showing and thanks to injuries to Tommy La Stella, Evan Longoria and LaMonte Wade Jr.

He went four-for-12 (.333) in five games during spring after his acquisition from the Phillies and was essentially added to the Opening Day roster out of necessity as most of the other options had just gone on the injured list.

Once the regular season rolled around, Williams lasted just eight games with his new club. He registered three hits in 12 at-bats (.250) and had an OPS+ of 63 before being traded to the Miami Marlins in May in exchange for infield prospect Hayden Cantrelle.

Despite his brief tenure, the right-handed bat was likely responsible for one or two wins early in the 2022 season. Following the trade, Williams registered a .235/.290/.313 line (72 OPS+) with three home runs, 11 RBI, and 20 runs in 124 plate appearances.

Despite the limited offensive production, proved to be a versatile glove as he appeared at multiple positions including second base, third base, and left field. Williams joined the Los Angeles Dodgers on a minor league deal this past winter.
