Until then, the Giants have three bullpen openings for seven contenders: left-handers Alex Hinshaw and Jack Taschner and right-handers Osiris Matos, Brandon Medders, Justin Miller, Luis Perdomo and Merkin Valdez. Ordinarily, Taschner would be included with Jeremy Affeldt, Bob Howry and Brian Wilson as locks to make the team. But the Giants have tried to trade Taschner, casting his status into doubt. Non-roster invitees Medders, who's unscored upon in eight appearances, and Miller, who yielded five runs in an exhibition against Team Japan but has recorded seven shutout Cactus League outings, have legitimate chances to stick. But at least one of them probably will be squeezed out by Perdomo, the Rule 5 Draft selection who must be kept on the big league club or be returned to St. Louis, or Valdez, who's out of Minor League options.
