2010 provided us with the greatest moment in SF Giants history and that was finally winning it all after the move to the west coast in 1958. A lot of us and likely all of us didn't have this team making it this far or even sniffing the playoffs come opening day one year ago. With an opening roster that included John Bowker, Aaron Rowand, Mark DeRosa, Bengie Molina and Edgar Renteria, it was almost a joke what the team was throwing out there. We saw key additions to the team like the signing of Pat Burrell, the waiver claim of Cody Ross, the call-up of Madison Bumgarner, the trades for Javier Lopez and Ramon Ramirez and of course the call-up of the 2010 Rookie of the Year, Buster Posey. (I intentionally left out Jose Guillen
)
September, October and that one day in November were some of the greatest baseball, I've ever seen them play. Pitching was clicking on all cylinders and the hitters got hot at the right time and they rode it the whole way through. Yes, I'm still in disbelief to this day that they're the champs and coming March 31st, they'll be known as the defending World Series Champions.
Very quiet offseason,
