If the Giants are going to contend, Cobb is going to be a great piece in that push.
If the Giants are going to stink, he is going to be a great trading piece.

Your optimism enthralls me...

didn't know which thread to put this in:

The Giants have hit a single with a runner on second 18 times, and only nine of those runners have scored. The league average scoring rate in those situations is just above 60 percent, so the Giants are losing a run for every 10 singles with every runner on second, on average. That’ll add up and make you a little irritable over a full season.
