Brandon Crawford has watched Buster Posey, Brandon Belt and Evan Longoria depart, as well as a new shortstop nearly come to the SFGiants. Before FanFest, he discussed a wild offseason and why this winter has been so productive for him.
Crawford turned 36 last month but has no plans to slow down. As he caught up on the phone Friday morning, he was driving to Scottsdale Stadium, ready to get one more workout and hitting session in before flying back to the Bay Area for the first FanFest in four years.
"This year, I've been able to do all that and hit with our coaches, which is another big thing that I wasn't able to do last year. They can see where my swing is at and go from there. Also, it's good having our strength coach and trainers so that if anything pops up, they're able to have eyes on me and I can work with them."
Q: Your defense in September was about as good as it's been, but the rest of the year wasn't up to the usual standard we've seen. Was it just a matter of getting healthy or did something else click?"No, I think it was just getting healthy.
Q: For the entire team, poor defense obviously tanked the season a little bit. How can you guys make sure that doesn't happen again?"I think it's just making the plays that we're supposed to make, not worrying about the spectacular play or trying to do too much with the ball. It's just kind of secure the ball and get the outs that you're supposed to get.
"I'm obviously sad to see him go from the Giants because we've played our whole career together. But that's baseball sometimes.""I didn't really have an idea of if he wasn't coming back with us, where he was going to go. I think a lot of people probably thought maybe Texas because he's from there and with Boch being over there now, maybe they would bring him in. But they've spent a pretty good amount of money the last couple of years on free agents.
