2009 SF Giants

Very excited for this season and I think well suprise the NL West even though the West is again pretty horrible.

Catcher-
Bengi Molina

1st-
Travis Ishikawa

2nd-
Emmanuel Burriss

SS-
Edgar Renteria

3B-
Pablo Sanoval

LF-
Fred Lewis

CF-
Aaron Rowand

RF-
Randy Winn

SP-
Tim Lincecum
Randy Johnson
Matt Cain
Barry Zito
Johnathan Sanchez

CL-
Brian Wilson

I think we have, by far, the best rotation in the West and possibly in the NL. We have a decent lineup but I think a good mix of young players and veterans. A lot of speed and a potential of a bit of power with good D. I dont know why we dont have Schierholtz somewhere in there but well see how the season goes and if we trade anyone like Rowand, Winn or Molina. I cant wait for Posey and Madison Bumgarder* to come up its going to be VERY NICE. And im excited to see how Sandoval does this year.....a lot of good things can happen or we can sink and trade a few vets for some more youth, its funny to say that when talking about my Giants, youty. Hmm

Good luck I hope the Giants do well as I really like Lincecum however with that lineup I dont see a lot of potential for runs.

Well 4-8 start isnt horrible but its not great. Our pitching was supposed to carry our team but it was a little lackluster thus far but Timmy showed his 2008 form by fanning 13 the other night but still losing and the Big Unit flirted with a no-no the other night and Cain has been solid. And Zito is well...ugh.

Really our only bright spot on offense has been Fred Lewis who is doing a solid job, Molina and Rowand has done well...as well. Maybe someone will take them at the trade deadline if we are sinking to fast. SANDOVAL hi the damn ball ahhh.

Im really inpressed with how we are playing right now, just took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers which is great and our pitching is doing really well. Zito finally has had a few good starts in a row and Lincecum is just right on as always.

Molina is anchoring the offense and I really think we are 1 big hitter away from being right it in.

The Giants are a fun team to watch. I often watch them because I love Kruk and Kuip, and I've been pleasantly surprised by how they've played with a line-up that was very questionable on paper.

Sandoval is going to be a very solid player, and I love his personality. I've also been shocked by how well the Big Unit is pitching so far.

Fred Lewis seems to half-ass it too much, though.

The line up is questionable on paper, and historically-low level kind of bad on the field so far. I guess the good thing is how hard for it to be worse.

2 of 3 from the Dodgers again, seems like this is the time for the Giants to make a movie with the Dodgers without Manny!
