[Giants]

Quite optimistic, Mick.

Overall, I would rank the current Giants talent as 6.5 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being tops).  The defense is still problematic, the pitching is promising, the offense is mediocre.  NL West:  1/2 - SD/LA or LA/SD, 3/4 - SF/AZ or AZ/SF, 5. CO.  Between 78-83 wins for the Giants. 

Of course, when Correa comes to his senses and signs a revised deal with SF, I reserve the right to change this prognostication. :)

Care for a wager? You take 83 and under, I'll take 84 wins or more...

Well, since I do not wager on sports, I can only suggest bragging rights. However, since that would require me to root against my favorite professional sports team, I can’t even do that.  

Heck, I hope you are right.  I’d be the first to stand up and cheer after an 84th win.

Last season, I had the Giants down for 90 and I thought Lex was being pessimistic with his initial call of 80.  After the season, I gave him a shout out for his acumen.  Look for the same if SF exceeds 83!
