San Francisco Giants: 5 Young Players Ready to Step Up

There’s a changing of the guard happening right now in San Francisco, whether we wanted it to happen or not.

Last season, the eventual World Series champions were led by a group of past-their-prime 30-year-olds, including Pat Burrell, Aubrey Huff, Aaron Rowand and Juan Uribe.

In 2011 however, injuries to key starters and struggles by some of the aforementioned veterans have sparked a shift in the balance of the team over to the Giants’ youth. What happens the rest of this season and whether the Giants get a shot in the postseason will have a lot to do with how well these young guys do.

Here’s a look at five ballplayers ready to step up.
