the contenders

I don't know how Sabean can say that the Giants can be contenders this year. I know you have to spin a bit to sell tickets, but I think it would be more believable if he talked about all of the great trades he was working on, rather than how this crew is going to challenge for the pennant. What a bunch of hooey.

Nice to see Vizquel come back and play well. Class guy. Good for the kids to emulate. But this club is not going to do anything besides lose 95 games and finish dead last unless they get a few hitters. You don't have to be a baseball genius to see that. And if you don't see it, you've lost touch.

Commentary - Why aren't they trading?

Another perspective - AJ never liked them.
