All good-natured wres- tling talk aside, the Giants are thrilled with how their outfield is shaping up con- sidering Pagan is healthy after the back surgery that derailed his 2014 season, the speedy Aoki is ready to be the regular left fielder, and Pence, well, he's just the durable, do-everything Pence who plays every day in right. Gregor Blanco, who could be a starter on many teams, will begin as the fourth outfielder. "We have a lot of options, a lot of really good bats and really good defenders," Pence said. "That's a really good addition (Aoki)." The 33-year-old Aoki signed a $4.7 million, one- year contract in January after losing to the Giants in the World Series last fall with Kansas City. He could become the leadoff hitter depending on how Pagan comes along this spring. Aoki batted .285 with a home run, six triples, 22 doubles and 43 RBIs over 132 games in his lone sea- son with the Royals after two in Milwaukee. He also stole 17 bases. Manager Bruce Bochy told Aoki he's expecting 30 home runs this season, to which the good-natured outfielder promised to hit 24. Pagan is ready to put up his own big numbers as he looks to stay in the lineup now that his back is pain- free. Last year, he tried to play through despite the challenges of even getting out of bed in the morning. "If you see a picture of my body, it looked like a Z when I got up," he said. "My mornings were miserable." Pagan played in only 96 games last season and 71 in 2013 because of inju- ries. He looks back and is happy he chose to have sur- gery, for his career as well as his quality of life beyond baseball. "I had to think of the fu- ture," he said. "I'm so glad I got it done and out of the way." He recently told Bochy he's planning for 160 in 2015, the third season of his $40 million, four-year contract. "He really feels great, he's very upbeat," Bochy said. "When you feel as good as he does, you're pumped about getting it going and starting a new season. It's a new slate for everybody, in- cluding him. You can see the smile on his face." Bochy plans to experi- ment with some different batting orders early in Cac- tus League play beginning next week before settling into a more regular lineup in mid-March. As usual, Pence joined Bochy in addressing the team before Tuesday's workout at Scottsdale Sta- dium. The every-other-year Gi- ants — they've won cham- pionships in 2010, '12 and last year — want to capi- talize on the momentum from last season to keep on a roll given the fleeting op- portunities in professional sports. "This is a big day," Bochy said. "We had a great year last year. ... We'll still en- joy and savor those mem- ories but at the same time it's time for us to get ready. Your clock on success is as good as your last game. In this game, your time's limited. It's been great to have this type of success that we've had. That win- dow, it's not always going to be there. You've got to seize that moment." Aoki appreciated Pence's pep talk, which he de- scribed as "full of passion." "We're playing for a championship," he said through interpreter Ko- suke Inaji, who has worked with Aoki throughout his major league career. "I had a lot of fun." Giants FROM PAGE 1 as PV hosts both D-I finals. PV girls coach Brett Silva said the times are likely to be either noon for the girls and 3 p.m. for the boys or 11:30 a.m. for the girls and 2:30 p.m. for the boys. The PV girls, also a No. 1 seed, edged Chico 2-1 Tues- day on Karina Torres' two goals, the game-winner 3 minutes from the finish in a contest that didn't lack for excitement. "I was just really in the moment," said PV boys coach Mike Vought, help- ing Silva with the girls' game as the two often as- sist the other whenever possible. "Then I sort of realized, I've got a match coming up, and I'm yelling at the guys to go warm up." Once, they started there was no slowing them down. Ramirez also had the fifth goal. Even the substitutes got into the act. Cameron Wellman scored on an Alex Freitas assist in the final minute as the Vikings' reserves showed the same bound- less energy of their start- ers. "We practice one way," Vought said. "That's how we play. That's what they're expected to do. It's the only way we know how to play is to just all-out attack, try to create scoring chances." Pleasant Valley (21-0-1) has had little trouble this season, a 2-2 tie to Foothill in the regular-season fi- nale when the Vikings had nothing to play for other than a perfect record. That preceded a 7-0 rout of No. 8 Enterprise in the quarterfi- nals. Now facing a team in Red Bluff (9-9-4) that it had already routed three times by a combined score of 22- 2, PV showed nothing but determined domination, attacking and peppering freshman keeper Jose Gar- cia with shots. And what it lacked in drama, the game made up for in execution. Even the scoring chances that didn't result in goals were high- lights. Porter Sillars made a sliding kick to redirect a cross but it ran up the left post of the Spartans' goal instead of in it. "Everybody wants to score," said Jauregui, who assisted Rodriguez's open- ing salvo in addition to his goal that came when he sent in a corner kick only for it to be sent back out in his direction, and he re- sponded by lofting the ball over Garcia's outstretched hands in what amounted to a well-placed free kick. "We're coming in pretty good, feeling pretty good." A looping ball from the center line from midfield was about the only thing PV keeper Juan Valencia had to pay attention to on a day he was so little threatened that he might not even had to wash his jersey as the Vikings' back line of Ethan Nash, Jasiel Celis, Donovan Jackson and Dylan Hall turned in another flawless perfor- mance. "Those four boys have been brutes this year," Vought said. Brandon Sauceda as- sisted Ramirez's first goal. ConnectwithSports Writer Joseph Shufel- berger at 896-7774. Soccer FROM PAGE 1 EMILY BERTOLINO — ENTERPRISE-RECORD Pleasant Valley's Porter Sillars, 10, and Red Bluff's Mateo Estrella go a er the ball Tuesday in Chico. "Once you start playing the adrenalin kicks in and you don't feel anything. It was good to just break a sweat in the first quarter, and feel active and not lim- ited at all." Marreese Speights added 16 points off the bench for the Warriors, who have won five of six. The Wizards shot 53.2 percent (42 for 79), and out- rebounded Golden State 45-29, but committed a season-high 26 turnovers to nine for the Warriors. "I've never seen a turn- over disparity like that where the game turned out to be close at the end," Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. "Little weird but we got it done." Paul Pierce led the Wiz- ards with 25 points, 18 in the second half. Marcin Gortat added 16 points and 11 rebounds, while John Wall chipped in 16 and 11 assists. After dropping their fourth straight, and ninth in 11 games, the Wizards bemoaned the turnovers, but not their effort in tak- ing Golden State to the fi- nal minutes after a pair of blowout losses. "To give them that many more possessions, 11 more shots, makes it tough on you," coach Randy Witt- man said. "Our effort was great. We play the way we play tonight, we take care of the ball better, we'll get back to winning games." Washington's Rasual Butler hit a 3-pointer to tie the score at 90 with 8:32 left, but the Warriors an- swered with a 6-0 spurt capped by Andre Iguoda- la's jumper. Washington got to within three twice in the final minutes, includ- ing when a Nene basket made it 102-99, but Iguo- dala responded with a 3-pointer. Pierce scored 14 of his points in the third quarter as the Wizards rallied from six points down to briefly take the lead. "I saw something dif- ferent today than I did the last two games," he said. "Outside of our turnovers, we played with much more urgency."
