Any predictions for this season by any of you?
I think the Giants will get into the post-season by way of the wild card.
I think their bullpen ERA will be the lowest in baseball.
Joe Panik will have a career year.
Connor Joe will prove to be a valuable addition.
Madison Bumgarner will win 17 games and have an ERA under 3.

Not sure about the first one, but as to the other predictions?
I totally agree.
I'd like to add one more.
This will finally be the year Belt has that 'career' year.

I don't believe the Giants will come close to the Wild Card.
I think the bullpen will be very good, although I doubt it will have the lowest ERA in the majors.
Given that 2015 was Joe Panik's career year and he played only 100 games, I think Panik will indeed have a career year. I'll go on to predict that Randy will change his mind about Joe. Well, no, I won't go that far!
I don't think Madison Bumgarner will come close to either 17 wins or particularly to a sub-3.00 ERA. I think the over/under on Madison's ERA should be right around four, and even then I think I'd take the over.
If Brandon Belt can stay healthy, he could indeed have that career year. After a tough first week last season, he rebounded quite strongly for a while. I'll go along with both Belt and Panik, although I don't think Randy will still admit that it was a good idea to keep them to rebuild their value.
Panik, by the way, is young enough and likely inexpensive enough that I'll predict the Giants will extend his contract by this time next year. And Brandon will have been traded for an outfielder.

In the immortal words of Clubber Lang...."Prediction? Pain."
Like the doctor said the day Rog was born..."It's gonna get ugly."
Nothing I'd love more than to be proven wrong here, especially in Bochy's Swan Song...but this roster is not good. Nobody fears us...nobody. Like AT ALL.
I mean Derrick Freakin Holland is our #2!! Nuff said.

If Panik shows he can hit AND stay healthy, I MIGHT change my mind. Belt is a mental midget and I'll never changed my mind about him.

I don't see how anyone can be optimistic about the season with the pathetic outfield and with an infield that spends more days ON the DL than off...AND with a rotation that has a #2 and #3 of Holland Samardzija.
Oy!
