The problem is, you can't really tell what we've got for sure, either with our current starters, or guys in the minors.
1: Hoch: Never tell which Hoch you're gonna get. The unhittable Hoch, or the pussy fold up at first sign of trouble Hoch.
2: Paulino: Great stuff, can't seem to stay off the DL. With the way he throws, may destroy himself soon.
3. Chen: Career .500 pitcher, 4th or 5th starter for most MLB teams. Has been better this year, but age is becoming a factor.
4. Duffy: Probably be two years before he's totally back from TJ surgery.
5. Sanchez: He's the Giants version of Kyle Davies. Deal him, spray the room with Febrese.
6. Mazzaro: I still can't get over the 9 run inning to Cleveland last year. I was there that night. Classic AAAA guy. Not quite major league, better than AAA.
7. Odorizzi: Let's see what we got before we package him up and deal him away. Looking forward to seeing him in the Futures game.
8. Will Smith: Yeah, well....another year at Omaha might do him some good.
9. Adcock. Same thing, not ready yet.
10. Zimmer: Not till 2014 probably.
We're going to have to find at least two, maybe three more starters to contend next year. Guess they better start trying to sew up the position players. At least try to hang on to what we HAVE built successfully.
At least it's not all gloom and doom, as usual by this time of year. We have a fighting chance to be respectable in 2012. I'll take that.
