Optimism.....Weak

I love my Giants as much as anyone, but it has been a particularly bad week as far as optimism goes. It is only Spring Training, and as of yet it does not really mean anything,but still, "The Force of Optimism" is weakening.

Here is a sample of the battle going on in my head:
Optimist: Merkin Valdez finally looks like he could be the force on the mound most of hoped he could be.
Pessimist: Dude, It's Merkin Valdez.
Optimist:Franny gets moved back to 2B where he  showed potential at the end of last year.
Pessimist: Dude, Did you forget Durham's still on the roster, and Bochy is the Manager ? You know Bochy, the guy who started Castilla every day, even though he stunk up the joint, until the GM DFA'ed him.
Optimist: Fred Lewis is looking pretty good with the bat. He and Rajai would make a pretty good tandem wouldn't they !Speed and Defense ! Even if it takes two guys!
Pessimist: Dude, see Bochy Comment above !
Optimist: Threets looks pretty good. He could be valuable in the pen or as a trade piece.
Pessimist: Dude, He's out of options, Sabes is probably going to forget about it, keep Kline, and lose him on waivers !

Anyway, you get the point. McCoven, Help me see the light at the end of the cellar.....um,er tunnel.
