Travis Ishikawa looks like the Opening Day first baseman for the San Francisco Giants.

"Ishikawa has played enough now that you can see that he's going to be the first baseman and it will remain to be seen how much latitude he'll be given against left-handed pitching," general manager Brian Sabean said. "We've got time to find that out, too. He's very determined, and we're all impressed by how he's handled things."

Sabean was less committed to Pablo Sandoval as the everyday third baseman, saying, "It's tough to evaluate Sandoval yet because we're not at the point where you're playing guys two or three days in a row. That's when you get a better read."
