Check out the Giants lineup today (shout out to VRP for tweeting it): Today's lineup Blanco LF, Cabrera RF, Sandoval 3B, Huff 1B, Sanchez C, Pagan CF, Crawford SS, Theriot 2B, Zito SP
That's a strong lineup right there. Lol. Posey is a beast but counting on your catcher to be your biggest offensive catalyst...good luck vagiants.
If we can start the season 7-3 or 8-2 with the giants getting their butts kicked it will be a good start
Yeah when I saw our schedule the first time I wanted to start 11-5. I'd be happy with anything around there.
Pitts was able to knock off Philly a couple times so I'm not gonna say they are auto-wins but those guys suck balls. Gotta beat them.
The Pirates had a scrappy-streak last season, plus Uribe and Loney are still our corner infielders... We could get swept if we aren't careful.
Athletics Designate Brandon Allen For Assignment By Zach Links [April 9 at 3:58pm CST] The Athletics designated first baseman Brandon Allen for assignment, according to a team press release. The move allows Oakland to reinstate first baseman Daric Barton from the disabled list. Allen, 26, was acquired from the Diamondbacks at last year's trade deadline along with reliever Jordan Norberto for right-hander Brad Ziegler. With a glut at first base, the A's were said to be shopping Allen over the winter. The first baseman/leftfielder has a .286/.401/.555 slash line across parts of three Triple-A seasons but yet to put it all together in the majors. In 109 big league games for the D'Backs and A's, Allen has hit .205/.291/.375 with eleven homers. He is 26 and not getting younger. I would take a flyer on him given our lack of power. I have to think he might get some nice pitches in front or behind Kemp.
i bet a smart team like the cubs will take a chance on him i know i would i mean, at worst it's some pop off the bench. we dont have any.
