Giants Should Hold Their Stud Pitching

Here's hoping Brian Sabean and Co decide ultimately that their agony over the proposed Lincecum for Rios trade is a message and they don't pull the trigger on it. Look, the Giants aren't going to be competitive next year anyway. This is OK - I don't think they give the fans enough credit for patience. We just want to see a master plan, and building with young pitching, drafting and developing a few hitters and waiting for better free agents than are available this year is the best plan.

I would have no problem coming to the park next year and seeing Cain, Lincecum, Lowry, Zito and Correia/Sanchez with no good hitting behind them. For one year - no problem at all.

Stud starters - you never have too many of 'em, and it's easier to find stud hitters down the line.
