Thursday BP: Which Giants will debut in the second half?

Some, that’s for sure.

The San Francisco Giants barely made any moves for the first month of the season. Their roster was the definition of consistent and stagnant, which was mostly a good thing, as it signified good health and food results.

Since then, the wheels have come off a little bit, and been replaced by the churn. Injuries have occurred, forcing moves. Players have struggled, forcing moves. The Giants have used 42 players this year, which means that they’ve used 16 players who weren’t on the Opening Day roster.

Some, like Rafael Devers and Dominic Smith, weren’t in the organization when the season began. Others, like David Villar and Joey Lucchesi, were in the organization but not on the 40-man roster. And some, like Tristan Beck and Brett Wisely, were on the 40-man roster but didn’t make the active roster.

In total, 14 of the 42 players who have taken the field for the Giants this year were making their Giants debut. And two players — Christian Koss and Carson Seymour — have made their MLB debut.

All of those numbers will grow in the second half of the season. More players will join the active roster. More players will make their Giants debuts. More players will make their MLB debuts.

But which players will they be?

Some feel easy to predict. There are six players on the 40-man roster who haven’t played for the Giants yet this year: outfielders Marco Luciano, Grant McCray, and Wade Meckler, and pitchers Trevor McDonald, Keaton Winn, and Carson Ragsdale, the latter of which is waiting to make his MLB debut. It seems likely that at least half of those players suit up for the Giants in the second half of the season at some point or another.

A few others in the system aren’t on the 40-man roster, but have a good chance of getting to San Francisco at some point this season. Pitcher Carson Whisenhunt and first baseman Bryce Eldridge have long been targeted as players who will debut in 2025, though they’ve been plagued by setbacks (performance for the former; injuries for the latter). Relievers like Trent Harris, Braxton Roxby, Ryan Watson, and Joel Peguero all have good shots. And my dark horse is pitcher Kai-Wei Teng, who made his MLB debut last year but was designated for assignment over the winter.

And hey … a trade for Aaron Judge could technically still happen.
