1- 49ERS:
A- HOW HAVE THE 49ERS DONE—-
*THEY HAVE FILLED HOLES—-ON THE DLINE ——DEPTH INSIDE — AND 1ST AND 2ND TEAM EDGE.
*STILL NEED A CB — LIKELY A NICKEL STARTER AND CB DEPTH
*NEED LB DEPTH - KENDRICKS GOES TO DALLAS
*OL - RIGHT SIDE AND A PLAN FOR WHEN TRENT WILLAISM LEAVES— DEVELOP A SOLUTION AT LT0— DRAFT A RT THAT CAN EVENTUALLY MOVE OVER.
*WR DEPTH — ANOTHER MAN BEATER, PREFERABLY WITH SOME SPEED- WHAT DANNY GRAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
*BACK UP QB — FLACCO SIGNED WITH COLTS—- BEST OUT THERE WOULD BE JIMMY G - WOULD POLITICS ALLOW IT?
B- IS JOEY BOSA REALISITC?
- OTHER TEAMS CAN PAY MORE—- BUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO HIM?
-WOULD HE SIGN SHORT TERM TO WIN WITH HIS BROTHER?
-HOW MUCH COULD 49ERS PAY - SAY IF BOSA IS WORTH 20-25M PER SEASON - COULD 49ERS PAY ON LOW END OF THAT ON SHORT TERM DEAL BEFORE BROCK GETS PAID?
-IVE READ WHERE OTHER TEAMS ARE READY TO PUNCE - WHO HAVE SPACE.

| After an alley-oop lob to Daniel Gafford with 6:46 to go, Doncic landed with a grimace, told Jason Kidd he needed to come out and went straight to the locker room. He exited with 21 points, 9 assists and 3 boards … bringing an end to his streak of seven straight triple-doubles. | |||

| Ten turnovers from the Warriors, who need better perimeter play in the second half. Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson and Brandin Podziemski combine to shoot 5 of 22. | |||

ONLY 1 TOP 100 GUY…..
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
A- CEASE—- ANOTHER GIANTS “IN ON” THE GREATEST TEAM THAT NEVER WAS—- THIS ONE HURTS—-
-SO MANY REASONS OU MAKE THIS MOVE:
-SHOW YOUR TEAM, YOU BELIEVE IN THEM
-SLOT YOUR 1-2-3 - WEBB- CEASE- HARRISON - WHEN HEALTHY: WEBB- CEASE-COBB- RAY - HARRISON
-ALLOW YOUNG PITCHERS TO REALLY BE READY
-CEASE IS AFFORDABLE AND CONTROLABLE FOR 2 YEARS
-HE’LL WANT TO STAY IN THIS PARK
-IF HE DOESN’T TRADE HIM AT DEADLINE NEXT YEAR
-HE’S IN PRIME YEARS
-MOST TRADES—- BEST PLAYER WINS TRADE
-HE’S NEEDED—— HARRISON IS YOUR #2 GOING INTO THE SEASON SO MANY QUESTION MARKS—-
-NOW HE GOES TO YOUR RIVAL…..
-YOUR THE CLEAR #4 IN THIS DIVISION …..
*DIVISION RIVAL THAT LOST A CY YOUNG—- GETS ONE THAT COULD BE ONE. AND THE PADRES JUMP THE GIANTS IN NL WEST.
*GINATS NEEDED THIS TYPE OF PITCHER.
*8M THIS YEAR AND UNDER TEAM CONTROL NEXT.
*28 YEARS OLD.
-MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS ARE FOR YOU AND FOR MOVES…..YOU KNOW YOUR SYSTEM BEST, KEEP THE GOOD ONES, MOVE THE RISKIER ONES.
-0MINOR LEAGUERS ARE A LOTTERY TICKET. THEYRE MAYBE 50-50.
-MOST TIMES THE ESTABLISHED PLAYER WINS THE TRADE.
-FARHAN IS TOO CONSERVTIVE.,
-ZACK WHEELERS HAPPEN—- BUT MORE TIMES—- IT’S LUCIUS FOX, GARY BROWN, JOEY BART, PHIL BICKFORD, CHRIS SHAW, CHRISTIAN ARROYO, CHRIS STARTTON, KYLE CRICK…. CANT TRADE THOSE GUYS….
A ROTATION OF WEBB, CEASE, HARRISON, COB, RAY, AND ALLOWING YOUR YOUNG GUYS THE TIME TO MATURE NATURALLY AND YOU’RE GOOD TO GO….MISSED OPP….
PAVS ON THE ROTATION:
Rotation
Yes, the Giants are well aware that Blake Snell still is on the market. But even if Snell signed this week, he likely wouldn't be ready for the start of the season. And there's not exactly an expectation at Scottsdale Stadium that he's on the way.
The plan is to go young until rehabbing veterans are ready, starting in the No. 2 spot, with Rookie of the Year candidate Kyle Harrison backing up Logan Webb. Hicks has looked sharp this spring and Keaton Winn should have enough time to get up to speed after missing workouts early in camp with elbow soreness.
The frontrunner for the fifth spot is right-handed prospect Mason Black, who had a 3.86 ERA in Triple-A last season. At the start of camp, Zaidi said he felt the 24-year-old was ready to contribute this year. With Tristan Beck sidelined, those innings could come right away. Black said he's trying not to dream about what might be coming at the end of the month.

A- KEITH LAW CALLS KYLE HARRISON #1 INPACT ROOKIE - CAN HE LIVE UP TO IT? — WHO ELSE IS THE KEY TO THE GIANTS SEASON?
Top 20 MLB rookies likely to have the biggest impact in 2024
1. Kyle Harrison, LHP, San Francisco Giants
Is Harrison the only rookie pitcher with a firm grip on a rotation job right now? I think he is, a credit to his talent and perhaps a vague comment on the state of the Giants’ pitching. Harrison kept the walks down in his brief major-league time last year, but I’m a little more bearish on his control in the near term after he threw just 58 percent of his pitches for strikes in Triple A (with the automatic ball-strike system (ABS) in many of those games). I think big-league hitters are going to force him to adjust and throw more strikes over time, but it may take a turn or two around the league for that to happen. That said, I think he’ll strike out 200+ if he makes close to 30 starts.
MY 5 GIANTS FOR THEM TO HAVE A PLAYOFF TYPE SEASON IN 2024:
-HARRISON 160+ IP LOTS OF K’S. LOW WALKS SUB 3.50 ERA
-LEE 20+ HRS / 30 SBS / .280 AND NEAR GOLD GLOVE DEFENSE IN CF
-HICKS 150 + IP SUB 3.40 ERA LOTS OF K’S , LOW WALKS
-CHAPMAN 25+ HRS AND PLATNUM GLOVE
-HEALTH FROM YAZ, CONFORTO AND BAILEY 130 + GAMES
