Jordan Hicks accepted move to Bullpen but hope to return to Giants Rotation

San Francisco (AP) – Jordan Hicks accepts his move to the San Francisco Giants Bullpen, but wants to return to the rotation. Hicks signed a $ 44 million four-year-season with the Giants during the off-season with the aim of starting after spending mainly his first few seasons as a reliever. The 28-year-old right hand was 1-5 with a 6.55 era in nine started and the Giants decided to move Hicks to the bull in the middle of the season, like last year. Hayden Birdsong takes his rotation turn against Kansas City on Tuesday. “I felt like I had a bad turn, and when I felt on a few days that many ground balls were coming through the inner field,” Hicks said on Sunday. “I’m just going to live with it and take ownership. I didn’t have such a good start of the season that I wanted, but wanted to go on and help this team in the bull. ” Hicks has a former closer to the Cardinals, and has a 12.00 era in the first inning. “In the bull, it’s the eighth inning, ninth innings and the game is on the point,” Hicks said. ‘The game is also on the line from the first innings. But it’s just another environment, another feeling. ‘ Birdsong has a 2.31 era in 11 relief appearances this season after starting 16 games last year. Hicks’ 59.6% of landball rate is fourth in MLB under swimming with 30 or more innings and its expected age of 3.75 is almost three points under his actual era. His 45.4% hard hit rate would be a career high. “Jordan came in last year and signed here as a starting batsman and came here this year and expected to be a starting batsman – and he was,” said manager Bob Melvin. “But we just make adjustments.” A few months after the season or a month after the season, we think it will make us better. ‘Hicks had a 4.91 era in nine relief for the Giants last season after being sent to the bull. “I’m not giving up myself,” Hicks said. “If the opportunity presents itself, I take it happy. But at the same time, I really don’t have much control in the situation. I want to be a starting batsman. That’s always what I wanted to do in the big leagues. It’s just not the time right now. ‘ .
