No. Because I really don't care who wins more. Its the Padres and the Giants.

Giants still have won 2 of the last 4 World Series and are relevant. They will be in the WC hunt.

Sports Illustrated ranked them as having the #2 offseason in the NL.

That's a tough one because on paper going into the season my forecast is 86-76, in terms of power rankings I would put the Giants in the 11-14 range not around 20

I would take over assuming everyone stays healthy and Sabean makes a key trade or two at the deadline

We shall see. Morse and Hudson have to have good solid seasons to get that high of a grade.

I don't buy into those grades until this upcoming season is over. However I do like the Hudson deal.

I know of the Orioles and Blue Jays trying to enter the Santana picture.

Drew: its either go back to the Sox,or, stay in limbo because the Mets are undecided in what to do at short except claim Ruben Tejada will be there.

The Pirates don't seemed to be fazed by the losses suffered this off-season. They seemed not to be bothered of the lack of significant moves neither.
