[Giants]

I must admit, seeing what Joey Bart did to the Fodgers yesterday got me a little pumped.

Susan Slusser suggested he might be traded when on KNBR last week, and was sort of downplaying his importance or otherwise suggesting Farhan's team isn't too high on him. I get they'd like a LH hitting Catcher, but do you really want Casali over Bart even?

Webb, Rodon, DeSclafani, Wood, and Cobb seems like maybe a better starting 5 than 2021. Keep pitches down + have another solid bullpen = good team.

It looks like the Giants are going to do a pretty good job replacing what they lost, and might get more production in some places they didn't get in 2021, but no way are they winning 107 games again.

Fangraphs says Giants will finish 85-77 and have 50% chance of making playoffs. Fangraphs predicted 77-85 before 2021 season.

I'm going with 92-70 and a Wild Card berth.

Yeah, right. You had the Giants as a .500 team. . . .

Lex had them at 80 wins. . . .

Well done, Lex (we won’t remind you that you later bumped your call to 90).  :)
