Post Cain Era Giants (2012)

[bjd2933]

Well, this is my first season with absolutely no beastly Matt Cain, so I have to rely on my other pitchers...

Lineup:

2B Jose Lopez
RF Felix Pie
1B Nick Johnson
SS Alex Rodriguez
CF Torii Hunter
3B Joe Crede
LF Fred Lewis
C Kelly Shoppach
Pitcher

Bench:

C Jason Kendall
Super Utility Guy Chone Figgins
Super Utility Guy 2: Melvin Moron
3B Adrian Beltre
INF Kevin Frandsen

Rotation:

LHP Tim Lincecum
LHP Clayton Tanner
RHP Phil Hughes
LHP Cliff Lee
LHP Barry Zito

Mopup: LHP Madison Bumgarner

Middle 1: RHP Merkin Valdez
Middle 2: RHP Duaner Sanchez
Middle 3: RHP Jesse Hoover
Middle 4: LHP Madison Bumgarner

Setup: RHP Erwin "Fletch" Boley

Closer: RHP Brian Bruney

Rotation is still solid even with the loss of Cain... too many lefties though. Bullpen is decent... hopefully Bruney can emerge as a decent closer. Christ, I got by with Brad Hennessey for like 4 seasons before he died. Lineup stinks, but at least I have a few guys on the bench I can try out if I need to... Fred Lewis hit 53 HR's in AAA last season... I'll cut a negro a break and let him try to play.

Prediction... around .500, likely 4th place.

Prediction #2... get your bids ready for Tim Lincecum.

you'll obviously be way out of the race, so send lincecumdumpster to AAA so you have him for next season to deal to the yankees!

[bjd2933]

Eh... I'll try to extend him, if not I'll deal him.

[Kingdom]

..to the yankees!

[bjd2933]

Hey, if they're gonna give me something in return, why not...

Phil Hughes 4 2012 cy young

If he gets his era under 4, that'll in itself be impressive.
