So when I look at my own team I see a bunch of guys I like, but they don't seem so big and scary like other teams. The Reds were certainly scary. But I'm wondering if I was a Reds fan, I would feel the same about the Reds?


I like the Giants, Blibble. I see them as a gutty team that claws every game with a terrific pitching staff and a lineup with a superstar surrounded by average guys, who hustle. I enjoyed Hunter Pence while he was in Philly because he played hard and was off-beat. He was pretty productive even though he isn't a great situational player. Lincecum getting knocked around surprised me this year.
