Only things that matters is health.  And with Longoria and maybe Wade out…. Not good

Belt also - recurring knee inflammation. Given the age of the Giants lineup one has to anticipate an above-average number of games lost to injury this year. Zaidi is excellent at finding adequate backups, but it would be overly optimistic to expect this aging group of starters to get through the season unscathed.

Remember 2011?  Great pitching.  Awful hitting.  Buster injury Led to the Wheeler-Beltran trade.  Turned out badly.  But was a legitimate  risk at the time. Unfortunately, Beltran got hurt. 

Pitching should be very good this year. If the staff says relatively healthy.  Offensively, this team could be flat out bad.

Gamboa had his third home run of the spring today.  Would be nice to have a player named Archimedes on the field...and Blandino hit a home run.

Slater started at leadoff, went 2 for 4 with a run scored, no strikeouts.

Spring Mick….. :). You’d have loved Randy Elliott.  :)
