The frontrunner for World Series MVP is going to be available on Wednesday. The only question seems to be how early the Giants will go to him.


Tim Hudson is starting for the San Francisco Giants in Game 7 of the World Series against the Kansas City Royals, but all the focus is on Madison Bumgarner.


"I've already talked to Madison, and he says, 'Listen, if you need me, in fact, I'm good to go. I'm ready to go,'" Giants manager Bruce Bochy told reporters before his team's 10-0 loss to the Royals in Game 6 on Tuesday.


Bochy claimed Bumgarner was available to pitch on just one day of rest if the Giants needed him, but it's probably best for all parties involved that the game got out of control in a hurry. Not that Bumgarner wouldn't have been able to handle it.


"I don't mind pushing him one time," Bochy said. "He's a big, strong guy who, knock on wood, hasn't had any arm issues. It's a credit to his conditioning."


Bochy reiterated that Bumgarner won't start Game 7, as much as he might be tempted to do so. But it's clear the Giants have no reservations about using their ace out of the bullpen on short rest.


"It's all hands on deck, so that's how we're looking at it," Bochy said. "You never know how the game's going to go"
