Chris Stratton (10-10), the Giants' leading winner, almost surely will enter next year as a favorite to claim a spot in the season-opening starting rotation. That's the type of role that begs for consistency. This characteristic has eluded Stratton, as his performance in the Giants' 8-4 loss Wednesday night to the San Diego Padres at Petco Park indicated.
