What do you think? These projections seem to skew conservative, which means they're really, really jazzed up about this Dodgers team.

I think the Giants will be in the division race as usual. It's just a matter of their bullpen not blowing so many games.


The Dodgers haven't won 100 games since 1974.

How worried are you about the Giants, especially after signing Mark Melancon to shore up their back end?

It all depends on how the other relievers perform. Bruce Bochy is so anal-retentive with his R/R and L/L matchups that he doesn't allow his middle relievers to get enough exposure to be effective. How can you develop a rhythm if you're only allowed to pitch to one or two batters each time out? This was my biggest complaint about Don Mattingly when he was managing here.
