The Giants go into their April 27 game vs. the A's with the best record in MLB, after Mets loss in St. Louis.

I'm still bitter the Giants didn't split with the Mets last week. Bart cost them Game 1 of the series they never should have lost, but it's nice to be on top of the heap almost a month into the season. 

Of course, I don't care about having the best record. I want to win in post season. My fear is the Giants are building a great regular season team that doesn't translate in the post season because they have no truly great players and great players win championships.

The Atlanta Braves were certainly stacked with great players last year. . . .

The Giants have nobody as good as Ozzie Albies or Freddie Freeman. The Giants lost to the Dodgers because they didn't have good enough hitting. They pitched well enough to win. They need better bats to win in post season. 

Joc Pederson îs a big upgrade over Alex Dickerson, that's for sure, but they still don't have an Albies or Freeman level offensive powerhouse, and the Braves had Pederson themselves as well.

Ozzie Albies and Freddie Freeman are great players and offensive powerhouses?!? 

As Giants pointed out above, the Giants did win three WS with pitching. Who on those teams were the requisite offensive powerhouses?
