I wouldn't count the Giants out. They always find ways to sneak into the postseason. They don't look like the best team by any means, but I'm not counting them out before the season starts.JZsportswhiz said:Worse weekend in Pittsburgh ever?
Terrible trade IMO. McCutchen should have been a lifer. He was on a tear to finish the year, the Giants aren't any better than the Pirates.
Cueto is an above average pitcher at best, but that's it. So is the Shark. But the Shark can actually look more impressive at times,. He is just either really sharp or downright horrible. Cueto is just a thread above mediocre and an NL pitcher.Coach said:Giants pitching staff carried them in their championship runs. Can Bumgarner give up the dirt biking and then will Cueto wake up and start earning his money? They need their SP to carry them in that ballpark
I don't buy it. Below average lineup, average pitching staffPWNdroia said:I wouldn't count the Giants out. They always find ways to sneak into the postseason. They don't look like the best team by any means, but I'm not counting them out before the season starts.
Snacks and Rockies could eaily have had just good years last year. I'm not sure they'll be as good. If they are not that great, the Giants have a way to sneak in.JZsportswhiz said:I don't buy it. Below average lineup, average pitching staff
They are in the same division as the Dodgers, DBacks, and Rockies. I don't buy the idea of them as being competitive.
The core that won those rings is gone. Posey and Bum are all that's left and they aren't carrying a team thru the NL West. They were a team that prided itself on SP, Samardzija is widely inconsistent and Cueto is coming off a bad year. I don't even know the back of the rotation but they don't have good track records.PWNdroia said:Snacks and Rockies could eaily have had just good years last year. I'm not sure they'll be as good.

And as good as the Dodgers are, they can't win in the postseason, which is something the Giants have done time and time again.
The four core of the Yankees is gone as well, does that mean they're finished? There's always going to be new cores that come and go. Always.JZsportswhiz said:The core that won those rings is gone.
