With a week to go, Yaz injured, he starts Basabe instead of Dickerson. Dick is hot right now . He should be starting.

Don't matter.

If they get into the playoffs, they will be a bottom seed, meaning they
play against one of the best teams.

Do they do a series or is it win or go home in the early rounds?

Hell it does matters . Purpose is to get in playoffs. I know they will end up playing the Pads or Dodgers. They could pull off an upset or two. It would be great if they knock off the Dodgers. And its two out of three for the first couple of rounds if not all the way through.

I think at this point in the rebuild of the franchise, they need more
talent in the farm system.

So higher the picks the better.

A couple of seasons from now, they will be able to get rid of some of
the big contracts.

Better to have more prospects that they can either develop or
potentially trade.

Right now the Giants have very little.

I see your point, but right now we should be focused on winning as much as we can and making the playoffs. A good farm system doesn't happen over the day.

Win one, expect to lose the next one. They can't seem to string wins
together. Some of that is the level of competition.

However, here they are, playing the Padres, a loaded team and the
Giants are leading 4-1 in the 6th. As I look up and down the lineup,
it's surprisingly good.

If Kapler would quite screwing with the lineup, they might be to take
games from the stronger teams. BTW, Yaz is back in the lineup and he's
hitting.

Wasn't part of that due to patenity leave? I do understand about the
questionable calls that Kapler sometimes makes though. Only injury has
kept him from putting Gott in the relief rotation and the bullpen is
still a minefield, despite the damn statistics.
