After a season in which the shortstop dealt with back issues and a sprained elbow, the Giants want Willy Adames to gear his offseason workouts more towards athleticism than strength.

“I think there’s an emphasis (for Adames) to really structure his workouts to increase his athletic movements,” Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said. “The way I’m thinking is less bulky muscle mass and a little bit more -- still explosive -- but twitchy and helping with the range.” That’s probably the right call for the Giants; they need Adames’ defense to bounce back even more than they do his offense. It probably doesn’t bode well for Adames making another run at 30 homers, though.
