Giants fans, RELAX and GET REAL.  This team, (2010) is still not ready for Prime Time...  Major league players generally do not hit their prime until their late 20s to mid 30s.  Do you know what this means?  It means that the current Giants team is only going to get better.

Their pitching staff core of Lincecum, Cain, and Sanchez still has years to go before they hit their prime and they are already good pitchers.  Since they are still years away, that means that they have a couple of years at least to get or mature hitters in the minor league system, who will also grow into great players.

Remember, most good pitchers outlast good hitters.  It is easier to change your pitching style as you get older, than adjusting your hitting as you get older.  That is because hitters can't turn back the clock and adjust to fastballs as age catches up to them.

Giants fans are lucky because the NL West is so bad, that the Giants get to contend while they wait for their young stars to mature into great players.  Any other division, and pitching or no pitching, they'd be in the cellar or close to it.

So Giants fans do yourselves a favor, RELAX!
