With right-fielder Hunter Pence being placed on the 10-day DL with a left hamstring strain, the Giant’s options in the outfield are starting to wear thin.

In a Giants infield that is filled with defensive talent, nobody has been more impressive over the past few seasons than shortstop Brandon Crawford.

Crawford has been no slouch at the plate either, with two straight 84 RBI seasons and one silver slugger award to go along with his golden gloves.
