I've been watching the Giants play and lately I have been enjoying watching these kids play. Its given me a chance to think about what I'll say to Brian Sabean when we meet in the frozen food section at Save Mart as we awkwardly do often. I borrowed this projected lineup from McCovey Chronicles to start:
C: Molina/Sandoval
1B: Ishikawa/Sandoval
2B: Velez/Denker/Frandsen
SS: Burriss
3B: Other/Sandoval
LF: Lewis/Winn
CF: Rowand/Winn
RF: Winn/Schierholtz
The first thing that came to mind is how finding Pablo Sandoval has been a pleasant surprise. I like watching this guy play. The Giants have already given the SS job to Burriss next season so the real battle will be 2B and I think my man Frandsen will win it short term. Then I started to wonder. Is there really a need to sign a big bat this off season? This offense will never live up to past lineups but does it really have too? The Giants have something those other teams never had. A potential LETHAL starting four. I say four because C.C. Sabathia has stated his desire to come home and thats what I'll tell Sabean. Bring C.C. home baby. Sabathia, Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, and Zito. I know I know. Zito? Would you rather see him trotting out of left field as Matt Cain hands the ball and a 2-1 lead over to his Zuckiness? Unless we can trade him keep him at that five spot where he might outpitch other teams 5th man. Bring the bullpen up to snuff whether its Merkin Valdez, Noah Lowry, Taschner or free agency but let Tyler Walker go. Correia maybe also or put him back in the bully. I like Kevin. My point is with that four the Giants have potentially the best rotation in the big leagues. Look how they handled Arizona. The last few series have shown the Gigantes can compete as long as we have that one thing we've never had before.......a buttload of pitching.
