Dodgers: Sizing Up the NL West Competition- Giants

The Giants were so bad last year it is hard to believe they can pull off a full 180 and rise to the top of the division in 2018. With that being said I do think they will be much improved this year after a very active offseason.

• Are the Dodgers really prepared to hand Shohei Ohtani a blank check?
• Dodgers fans shouldn’t dismiss interest in Dansby Swanson for this reason
• Giants laughably sign pitcher that Dodgers absolutely own
• Dave Roberts’ quote about Padres in NLDS should motivate Dodgers
• Dodgers might find their next Tyler Anderson with this free agent target

Evan Longoria, Buster Posey, and Andrew McCutchen will have to combine for a huge season to get the Giants back in the playoffs but as it stands they could very well get the team back to the .500 zone in terms of record and will surely boost the team from last in home runs to somewhere in the middle of the pack.

My prediction for the Giants is they will compete for third place in the division and while that may not be the result their fans are looking for it is a huge step in the right direction.
