[Giants]

I'm tempted to say 107 wins, but we all know that won't happen. Still, the lineup's pretty strong. So I'll go with 92 wins. (Lex, our wager is still on...I won't back out).

Giants spent or took on an additional $394 million in free agents, a necessity given the 30th ranked farm system.

Today, Darvish vs. Webb, 1:05 first pitch. Lineup should look something like this:

1. Jung Hoo Lee, CF
2. Jorge Soler, DH
3. LaMonte Wade Jr., 1B
4. Matt Chapman, 3B
5. Michael Conforto, LF, will be the 18th consecutive Opening Day with a new left fielder, and given that his contract is up this year, next year will be Matos, most likely.
6. Thairo Estrada, 2B
7. Mike Yastrzemski, RF
8. Patrick Bailey, C
9. Nick Ahmed, SS

The Giants still list 27 players on their active roster. I'm assuming Joey Bart will get the negative news some time later today.

And I haven't been an unadulterated A's fan since 1974, but it's striking to me that they have the lowest over/under since 1990, 56.5 wins. Yeesh:

Per mlb.com, 12 pitchers and 14 non-pitchers.  Bart made the 26 man roster.  The only non-40 guys to make the 26 were Ahmed and Roupp.  Cooper Hummel was designated and Ethan Small was placed on the 60 day IL.

Baggerly suggested the strategy is keep Bart until they need a 13th pitcher.  By that time, rosters for all the other teams will be set and they might be able to get him through waivers and send him to Sacramento. 

That would open a spot for a non-roster guy like Jeffries.
