If you talk to any Giants fan this year, they'll probably talk to you about Aaron Rowand's dismal slump, the equally underwhelming season by Bengie Molina, and the slight concern about franchise players Tim Lincecum and Pablo Sandoval and their sub-par seasons.
You'll hear stories about the lack of opportunity for young guys like Nate Schierholtz and John Bowker and the clamoring for youngsters like Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner.
And, as always, you'll hear plenty of criticism for San Francisco general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy.
Admittedly, there are things that I will never understand, like why Rowand and Molina are still playing so much even though they're slumping so hard, or why Nate Schierholtz doesn't play against left-handed batters even those he's smoking them for a .375 average.
But there is one thing that Giants faithful can't argue with, and that's the fact that Sabean has made some more bargain moves this year that have really paid off.
