Brian Sabean: Blue Ward Cyclonaphant

From Baseball Prospectus:

Lost in Magowan’s retirement announcement was that Giants General Manager Brian Sabean said he thinks his team can contend in the NL West this season and does not plan to trade the many veterans that still dot the San Francisco roster.


It's almost like you can smell the crack.

Standings in the NL West as of right now:
NL West W L PCT GB L10 Streak
Arizona 27 16 .628 - 5-5 L1
Los Angeles 22 20 .524 4.5 4-6 W1
San Francisco 17 27 .386 10.5 3-7 L4
Colorado 16 27 .372 11 4-6 W1
San Diego 16 28 .364 12 4-6 L1


They're 7.5 back in the wildcard and behind ten teams, including the Nationals and not including the three front-runners. Oh, and they suck.
