The San Francisco pitching has already been taken care of, but really, that's the part that you know is going to be fine. If fantasy catchers preview, but there's one overarching point that bears repeating: Posey's statistical increases from 2011 to 2012 scream, "FLUKE!" at the top of their lungs.

As a percentage of plate appearances, Posey hit 1.7 percent more home runs and 5.6 percent more extra-base hits. Seven percent more of his balls in play were line drives, and he walked on 1.4 percent more plate appearances than he ever had in his career. It's the makings of an MVP season, yes, but that type of growth often isn't sustainable. While it would be unreasonable to expect him to regress to 2011 levels, it would also be unreasonable to expect 2012 once again.

Think Marco Scutaro, but in reverse. (oratucS ocraM?) Fantasy Draft Kit this season. For those of you who may have forgotten since last fall, there are 30 MLB teams. Sure, that list includes multiple position guys (including Marco Scutaro), but it also means that such offensive wizards as Angel Sanchez, Jordany Valdespin, and Adeiny Hechavarria are all seen as more valuable offensively.

That's not exactly surprising, though. Crawford has never hit .250 in his major league career. His home run power has increased... from three to four. And I guess there's something to be said about a shortstop who can steal bases, except that Crawford is 2-7 in stolen base attempts in his career. Giants fans should just hope and pray for a statistically-unsound stat increase, because that's all the help the Giants will be getting at SS this season.
