Giant potential

Looking up C.C. Sabathia trade talk this weekend, I found an interesting tidbit from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Check out the section under 'STAT-O-MATIC' which reads:

Strikeouts galore: Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Jonathan Sanchez are the first Giants to have 100 or more strikeouts before the All-Star break since the team moved to San Francisco in 1958.

I'm a big fan of these three young pitchers, and that's quite a remarkable statistic. The cupboard is never too bare when you have aces to get you by. San Francisco may be out of the race this year, but they're only a couple of special hitters away from competing in a big way.
