The Glass is Half Full....

So here we are in June. Typically a time infamous for Giants fans. So infamous that there is a name for it, the June Swoon. It will be interesting to see what happens this month as most have already written the Giants off. Look around MLB sites and you'll see the jokes. The Giants batting order is usually the punchline. But at this date, June 6, the Giants, in the midst of a major rebuilding effort, are 8 games behind the Dodgers in 2nd place. They got there with arguably the best rotation in the game. Now, in the past, Junes have also gone down in Giant lore as June Booms and this might be one in the making. The bats currently are a little anemic, particularly Molina's but already some bats are showing some signs of life. Rich Aurilia and even Pablo Sandoval to some extent are looking better at the plate. Having gone last week and seeing the Grizzlies play I was impressed with Jesus Guzman. Of course theres also Buster Posey on the distant horizon....My point is, the Giants are currently doing it the right way so while some near sighted fans are clamoring for a trade, to do that puts the team back where they were two years ago. Renting players while giving away it's future. There are rumblings of Uggla rumours and of course at some point Sabean will revisit the Alex Rios situation (Rios struck out 5 times in the 9th btw), so it will be interesting to see how Los Gigantes handle this month......GO GIANTS!!!
