Giants optioned OF Heliot Ramos to Triple-A Sacramento; reassigned INF Armando Alvarez, OF Vaun Brown, OF Clint Coulter, RHP Nick Duron, INF Tyler Fitzgerald, C Ricardo Genovés, RHP Trevor Hildenberger and LHP Erik Miller to minor league camp.
It’d be nice to see Hildenberger reemerge as a useful reliever, but no one here is particularly likely to make much of an impact in San Francisco this season. Ramos made his major league debut last April, but he’s not yet ready for the majors after hitting .227/.305/.349 in 108 games Triple-A last season.
