Few Giants will be included in fantasy baseball drafts this spring. Who cares? I do. More time and energy goes into analyzing the coming season for roto ball than real ball.So what do we learn? Everyone loves Timmy, of course, and big money guys Zito and Rowand are not even being drafted :shake head:
Lots of people love Sandoval, but draft him as a catcher. If he plays 3B and if he bats fifth, rather than third, he's not looking quite as good as some hope. I expect he'll hit for average but he and Lewis could both be excellent both #2 in-the-order guys. Wynn is a good #2 guy, too. He gets a little attention for his outstanding '08 season. Cain will strike people out. A few people think Renteria and Johnson are worth a chance.
Nobody likes Lewis, Wilson, or any one else on the squad. I drafted Fast Freddie and Sanchez and believe they'll have good years, better than last year. We'll see.I'll probably pick up Guzman, too, if he starts at 1B, which I hope, no matter how bad his D.
Overall? Sad. It isn't much of a plan for '09.
But there's always the IF Game ... there may be some surprises this year. They may get their nose above .500 IF Renteria turns out to be 27 rather than 47, or IF they just move him out of the top half of the order. IF the West takes a dive like last year, anyone could win with one good month. 84 wins took the flag last year. I don't see a western team getting out of the first round of the playoffs, but IF it's los Gigantes, three good starters could make us impossible to beat in the post season. I can't believe I wrote that. It's March. I can dream.
