With Posey behind the plate and Wilson at closer, the Giants would be far more dangerous than the team that ended last season. Throw in additions Melky Cabrera and Angel Pagan, and the Giants are entering the season anticipating a run to the postseason similar to 2010.ROTATION:1. RHP Tim Lincecum2. LHP Madison Bumgarner3.

He'll likely begin on the DL after getting a slow start to spring training because of a back ailment. No problem, really. The Giants don't need a fifth starter until the ninth game on April 15.Lincecum has a new two-year, $40.5 million contract, and Cain will make $15 million and is eligible for free agency next winter. The Giants were hoping to extend his deal before opening day, but Cain is hinting he wants to go on the open market. As the season starts, it could be an ongoing story.BULLPEN:RHP Brian Wilson (closer)RHP Sergio...
