The Giants need more from Jonathan Sanchez out of their bullpen.  In 11 games so far this season he’s 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP.  Sanchez has a great arm but he has command issues that are holding him back.  In 11.2 innings he has allowed 13 hits and has walked 8 batters.  He needs to get aggressive in the strike zone and he has struck out 15 batters this season which shows off his arm strength and his stuff.  He could be dominant.

Barry Zito and Armando Benitez are both off to very tough starts to the 2007 season.  Zito is 0-2 with a 8.18 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP in his first two starts of the season.  He has thrown 11 innings so far and he has given up 13 hits, 10 earned runs and has walked 5 batters.  The Giants need him to straighten up soon or it’s going to be a long year in San Francisco.  Armando Benitez has 2 saves this season but he has a 7.71 ERA and a 2.57 WHIP!   He has thrown 2.1 innings this season and he’s allowed 4 hits, 2 earned runs and has walked 2 batters.  He needs to do better if he wants to continue being the stopper of the Giants.
