Can the Giants get back to the World Series as currently constituted?
First off, these Giants are hard to figure. Just last year, they went and dusted off the Mets in a one-game playoff and wound up in the divisional championship series and, if not for a balky bullpen, they could have beaten the eventual champion Cubs and advanced to the League Championship Series. Who knows what happens from there?
Now, with essentially the same team, they've lost 62 times in 100 games. They can't stay healthy, and they look slower and far less powerful than supposedly lesser teams.
