2011 Giants Season Preview

Looking to repeat last year's World Championship run, the 2011 San Francisco Giants are on a mission to become the first team since the 2000 season to repeat as World Series Champions. The Giants were able to retain most of their championship roster with the resigning of first baseman Aubrey Huff and outfielders Pat Burrell and Cody Ross, as well as add infield depth with the acquisition of infielder Miguel Tejada. Led by the league's best one-two punch in two-time National League Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum and star pitcher Matt Cain, baseball's most dominant closer in Brian Wilson, a resurgent Pablo Sandoval, and stars Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner in their first full season on the team, the World Champions look to another adrenaline-filled race to the Fall Classic.
