Thursday BP: Giants fans want more pitchers

Hello and happy Thursday. Today’s BP is brought to you by SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Each week, we send out questions to the most plugged-in San Francisco Giants fans, and fans across the country. Sign up here to join Reacts.

The San Francisco Giants project to be highly mediocre this season, so it’s no surprise that a majority of polled Giants fans think the team needs to add more talent before the season begins, even though that’s not very feasible at this juncture.

Nice.

Also not surprising is the area of need that fans pointed to, which was, predictably, pitching. Seems fans aren’t fully sold on a rotation of reclamation projects and backend starters. Who knew.

Around the league, two-thirds of fans believe their team needs to add a player with just over half of MLB fans wanting their team to add a pitcher, so at least the Giants aren’t exactly alone.
