Pablo Sanchez is hitting .415 (27-for-65) in June, and the Giants are 18-9 since May 23.
Nice job, ESPN.

I just can’t see how with statistical correction we would go from being a contending team to the 2nd worst in baseball. I just don’t see it.

Per Baggs:
A legitimate change, though: Juan Uribe was scratched because his hammy is not 100 percent. Another day or two with no improvement and they might start talking about the DL. Renteria in.

I actually like it, though I'd have Molina 7th, and everyone else moved up one.
Also move Renteria to 8th, swapping with Downs.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
