Adames aims for more complete second season with SF Giants after tweaking mechanics

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — Willy Adames wasn’t afraid to be a little critical of himself. Even if it meant some exaggeration.

During a media scrum at Giants camp on Sunday, a reporter started a question by saying Adames needed “a little time” last season to get going offensively. Before the reporter finished the question, Adames had a playful barb ready in return.

“A little time? Four months!” Adames said with his signature jovial smile.

It wasn’t quite four months, but the sentiment is correct.
