The Giants might very well be 39-40 by the end of the weekend, which would fall right in line with the prediction I made about a month ago. It’ll be like this most of the season. The team is hoping that it starts to break one way or the other following the non-waiver trade deadline. Which means, if they’re right around .500 at the deadline, they’re going to make a move to improve their chances of things breaking positively for them the rest of the way.
You might look at the outfield and say, “Hey, maybe Alen Hanson shouldn’t be playing out of position in left field” or “maybe Gorkys Hernandez is better as a 4th outfielder”, and I might agree with you, but if you’re a true Giants fan, then you’ve gotta think like the Giants; and buddy, there’s no chance in hell the Giants will trade for an outfielder.
