The batting order will be very similar to last year’s, just with the addition of Morse. On days where the Giants are facing a left-handed pitcher, there’s a chance Bochy could move Posey to the third spot and move Morse up too. Otherwise, this should be the starting lineup for Opening Day.

Prediction:
CF Angel Pagan
2B Marco Scutaro
1B Brandon Belt
C Buster Posey
RF Hunter Pence
3B Pablo Sandoval
LF Michael Morse
SS Brandon Crawford
