The Giants have great pitching and defense, but they simply don't hit enough to win often. San Francisco general manager Brian Sabean acknowledged as much on Saturday, and said that he is looking to improve. "We obviously can compete, but we know where we're challenged, and it's maybe more acute than we thought it would be," said Sabean. The Giants typically refuse to trade their prospects, but the ban has reportedly been lifted. Although Sabean said he wouldn't deal the club's "young and potentially up-and-coming impact talent."
