With aging outfielders like Denard Span and Hunter Pence to account for, it appears San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy will be taking a different approach with his roster this year.

According to Chris Haft of MLB.com, Bochy told reporters on Sunday that he is "leaning toward" starting the season with five outfielders instead of adding extra pitchers like he's done in the past.

Though Span, 32, and Pence, 33, each played more than 100 games last season, both have dealt with injuries and have missed significant time over the past two seasons.

In 106 games last season, Pence batted .289 with 13 home runs and 57 RBIs. In 146 games, Span hit .266 with 11 home runs and 53 RBIs.

Mac Williamson, Jarrett Parker and Gorkys Hernandez are among the top options to fill out the outfield rotation.
