It may take some patience this year, but once he’s with the big club, he should be ready to contribute right away. Keeper leaguers should def. take notice.

Lister - I actually like SD better than SF this year too. As for Sabean, I couldn’t agree more. He’s officially a liability. Zito, Roberts and Molina were all given far too lengthy contracts. His 30-plus age requirement is really going to hurt this franchise for years to come.

He loves trading draft picks too, so this Lincecum selection falling into his lap was quite lucky.

I have to say I like the Dodgers and Diamondbacks ahead of the Giants in 07 and beyond, though all signs point towards Lincecum being the immediate impact pick of last year’s draft. Love that kid’s windup!

Sabean has seen his credibility as 1st Tier GM erode steadily over the past handful of years: this offseason has only bolstered such a statement. PECOTA, as well as intuition, suggests that Roberts could be in line for another solid if not special year (and he certainly meets specific Giant needs as outlined expertly above), but that the 3 year deal is absolutely questionable. PECOTA sees Roberts steady at an EqA of .275 over this contract, which is OK for a tablesetter, but with his speed reducing to the point that he will be stealing only about half as many bases in 09 as in 07. It also shows concern for his durability, assigning him a Collapse Rate of 32% for next year…

As a Mets fan, let me say just how much I covet Matt Cain. You’ve got yourself a future king.

Ya Lowry is key…hopefully that oblique strain was a big reason for last year’s struggles….He’ll at least improve from 2006…early word is he showed up to camp in real good shape…..M. Morris is another X-factor, as I think he can go back to being solid at least. He’s really not as old as he seems.

I think Lowry is the wild card here…if he pitches more like the 2nd half of 2005, rather than 2006, I think the Giants will contend in the West.

Extensive and thorough. And it’s condensed? Nice work! If Lincecum can immediately help, SF really could contend in the West this year. I agree about Bonds - he’s not done yet.
