 It's simply not a contending team by any means. - Outsider Fan

Shhh .... Don’t tell the Giants.  They’re too busy contending to notice. 

(5-1 win over the Phillies today.)

I think Farhan pulled off quite a trick.  Two 2B prospects, at a position where we have demonstrated -- if not desperate -- need.  An outfield prospect, a 1B/OF prospect supposedly headed to the majors before back problems.  Two very young RHPs with promise.  Offloaded at least some of Melancon's salary.  Got rid of Black, who wasn't succeeding, Pomeranz (2-9) and Holland.  And there are indications that Holland and Melancon were less than welcome in the clubhouse.

Over last 30 days, Posey, Crawford improving.  Panik still stuck.  Longoria, Dickerson, Vogt, Solante and Yasztremski all .900+ OPS.  Belt, Pillar underperforming.  Giants are now #10 in majors in WHIP and #12 in ERA.  #15 in fielding, #26 in runs scored, still.  Dickerson best OPS at 1.237, Vogt at .899, Stanford's own Slater at .894, then drop to Sandoval at .830.

And after last night's 5-1 win, the Giants are now two back of the wild card spot.

Nobody wants to play the San Francisco Giants...
