Sanchez ... !

There's been a lot of negativity spewed about one Giants' lefty - so let's take a moment to appreciate another who is showing some serious promise in the back of the rotation. Get ready to add Jonathan Sanchez's name to the list of exciting young arms in the Giants rotation. Sanchez was light's out in last Friday's start against the Reds, taking a shutout into the ninth, before allowing a homer and a single. Sanchez comes into today's game boasting a 2-1 record with a 3.54 ERA. His 26 strikeouts are good for fifth in the National League. With Sanchez pitching like this, the Giants now have three really good reasons to follow this team. While this team will still make mistakes, with the young talent of Sanchez, Cain and Lincecum, I feel as though the Giants have a shot at winning every game. Let's hope today is one of those games.
