keep in mind they have a new outfielder, denard span, who is the national league mvp from last year. added a couple of pitchers, including johnny cueto who helped lead the kansas city royals to a world series championship last year, so this year of course being an even year, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, it's the giants' turn to win the world series. >> we couldn't be any more excited about the team that we have put together. we're hoping to stay healthy. go to spring training and do the best we can to mesh the team, work on the fundamental side of things and play hard. stay healthy with the group that we have. we have a lot of guys with a proven track record at this level. that's exciting for a group of guys that we have. >> everything is feeling good. i think it's just fine tuning and tweaking my rhythm and my motion, what i need to get done, and not getting too frustrated. it's the beginning, it's still early. give yourself a little leeway but lay the good groundwork to be able to get into the end of spring training where you need to be. >> i think the expectations for us nationally are
