Giants begin spring camp with depth and hope for a Giant year
Mel Ott looks toward a potentially strong season as the New York Giants open spring training in Lakewood New Jersey. A large pool of 400 to 500 players from farm clubs and minor squads may be used as Ott and Carl Hubbell assemble options. The club aims to improve pitching depth and find a new Voiselle while Lombardi and Berr es may need rest, and Ott contemplates stepping up as bench manager if a fielder emerges.
