Your 2026 Giants: Houser Might Be Early Christmas Gift

Merry Christmas to you and yours!  And, perhaps, a Christmas gift from Posey and gang!

A Substack newsletter I subscribe to, MLB Data Warehouse, publishes data analytics to help fantasy baseball team owners find players who can help them win their league championship.  A recent one was about High Efficiency Starting Pitchers.  

Of course, I looked for Giants pitchers. Logan Webb and Robbie Ray were on it.  I also scanned to see if there are any SP without a QO on the list, and, to my pleasant surprise, the only one to pop was Adrian Houser, who recently signed with the Giants this offseason. There are also other pitchers who are free agents or possible trade targets, I will keep an eye out in case.

Thoughts on Championships and Dynasties

Saw a column on Fox Sports, about how the season teaches us nothing, about how the season don't matter much anymore, how the best team no longer wins the World Series championship, about how there's no dynasties anymore, and I just couldn't let it go without comment.  My comment is below, unchanged, other than that size limits forced me to break it up into, like, five comments, plus I put in what seems to be the right breakpoint for a header.
