Got Angels on the 6th spot, but they got to much problems with injuries
and after the tragic loss of Adenhart (R.I.P) they'r missing a 5th
starter...
As for the Giants rotation im not to impressed:
1. Lincecum: was outstanding last year and looked like a candidate to be on the best if not the best Major League pitcher of all time, but so far this year he's looked shaky and is of too a bad start so i'v started to doubt that he can follow up his great last season.. I bet on him in his season opener and got lucky as he had a shacky outing where he had no pitch control, but faded him vs SD and it paid off.. Until he showes some of his last years preformence his on my fade list..
2. Cain: IMO this is just a middle of the pack pitcher who isn't bad, but not great either. But if the Giants offense plays better than last year he might pick up 11-12 wins with some luck..
3. Johnson: He's a future Hall-of-Famer who is capable of putting up some good outings, but his best days is behind him IMO. Think he'll end the season with an ERA in the middle or high 4's and with 7-8 wins..
4. Zito: He's on my fade list this year too and have been struggling the last couple of years.. He loves to pitch high in the zone and over the years he's lost some speed on the fastball who is a recipe for disaster and he also struggles with his commands. Think he gonna end the year belowe last years record with an ERA from the middle 5's to the low 6's and with 7-8 wins
5. Sanchez: Struggles with his stamina, to many walks and problems with keeping the ball in the park... He might have a better year in 09 than in 08 if he stays healty, but stil among the top pitchers. If Lincecum can find back to last years preformence Sanchez should be the 2nd best Giants starter... Think he'll end up with an ERA around middle or high 3 with 12-13 wins...
