We've been talking for weeks about how the San Francisco Giants are poised to enter the season with one of the more inexperienced pitching staffs in recent memory. One of the consequences is that several players who look like they're going to make the Giants' Opening Day roster will need to be added to the 40-man roster, which currently stands at 39. When all is said and done, the SF Giants may need to make a surprising DFA or two, or trade(s), to clear some room.

Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast:

Who on the Giants do you see making the biggest offensive improvement from last year?

How come our shortstop, Marco Luciano, can't hit the ball?

Are there any Vaun Brown progress updates?

Is Mason Black going to be on the Opening Day roster?

If the SF Giants don’t sign Blake Snell for whatever reason, could they still trade for a veteran shortstop (because I hear Luciano isn’t ready), or sign another veteran pitcher like Mike Clevinger or Michael Lorenzen?
