A couple of sure-to-depress stats from the Giants slow start:
-- They hit 3 HR's on Opening Day, none since.
-- They have not drawn a walk for three consecutive games (73 AB's), their longest stretch since 1976.
If those trends -- little patience or power -- persist, it will be a long year, even if Lincecum, Johnson, and Sanchez turn things around nicely.
While the San Francisco Giants have been stinking it up of late, the San Jose Giants are on fire -- both on the field, and at the ticket window. In fact, many observers are suggesting they might be one of the best minor league team in recent memory, carrying a truckload full of the best Giants prospects, and a few of the best prospects in baseball. Scott Ostler had a nice column in the Chron yesterday, chronicling the squad, which contains the likes of Angel Villalona, Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Tim Alderson, Nick Noonan, Conor Gillaspie and Brandon Crawford.
