Some questions for the Giants

Henry Schulman of the Chronicle put forth some questions about the 2007 Giants. We'd like to use some of his and a few of our own:

1) Which Barry will the Giants count on most? The easy answer is Barry Zito, the $126 million dollar man. But Barry Bonds will be important, too. Assuming all is calm in Bondsville (pending any investigations), Bonds will need to hit. And hit. And hit. Is he up to it? We've expressed our doubts in earlier blog posts. We still hold to that. But we hope we're wrong and he surprises us. It would be nice if he hit a lot more home runs than Zito wins games.

2) If the Giants fail, is Sabean gone? We doubt it. Peter Magowan tends to hang onto things like glue. Second basemen, left fielders and yes, g.m.s.

3) Will Pedro Felix be gone before the end of the season? Yes. Count on it.

4) Will the 2007 Giants win more games than last year? Yes.

5) Will they win the NL West? If the two Barrys have great years, yes. If not, it'll be another long season.
