Barry Bonds is up to 741 homers now, just 15 behind Hank Aaron for the All-Time major league home run record. He has played in 17 games so far this season and he’s 18 for 52 (.346 avg, 1.278 OPS) with 13 runs scored, 7 homers and 15 RBIs. Pretty soon everyone’s going to start walking Bonds so the Giants better make sure they have someone productive behind him in the lineup to make teams pay for pitching around Bonds.

Randy Winn is off to a rough start for the Giants to the 2007 season.  In 16 games so far this season Winn is 10 for 52 (192 avg) with 2 runs scored and 5 RBIs.  Winn has already whiffed 13 times this season and that’s way too many for a hitter of his style.  He needs to make better contact and use his legs to get hits instead of trying to hit the longball because he’s not really a power hitter.

It all came together last week for the Giants who went 6-1 as they outscored their opponents 30-15.  The Giants made the most of their fantastic pitching with timely hitting.  The Giants are now in 3rd place in the National League West, 3 games behind the LA Dodgers.

Pedro Feliz better get his bat going or Rich Aurilia might make a permanent move to thirdbase for the Giants.  Feliz has played in 11 games so far this season and he’s only hitting .190 with a .537 OPS.  He is only 8 for 42 so far this season with 2 runs scored, 1 homer and 5 RBIs.  The Giants are built to win right now, so they can’t afford to play guys that aren’t producing.

The San Francisco Giants were 2-2 last week and they were outscored 15-14.  The Giants better get their hitting going because they wasted some pretty good pitching last week.  The Giants are currently in last place in the National League West with a 3-7 record, 4.5 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks.
