Giants' second baseman Kevin Frandsen wants more at-bats after spending most of the season backing up Ray Durham, and center fielder Rajai Davis wants to work on making better contact on breaking pitches. Both players have a good shot to earn starting jobs with next year's Giants and are hoping to land spots in winter ball to sharpen their skills. But with the termination of the Puerto Rican league, they may be out of luck, along with others who'd normally play winter ball in Latin America. The league was canceled in August because of dwindling attendance and profits, though Major League Baseball continues to talk with league officials about helping to finance it, maybe this year but definitely in future years. |
