Fantasy Forces:
LF-Barry Bonds (38)-  Though he didn't touch his '01 stats, Bonds is clearly the most feared hitter in the game, evidenced by his 198 walks.  And although he only registered 68 of the intentional variety, it's probably closer to 196.  At 38, the four-time MVP has plenty of time to catch Aaron but it's unlikely to happen in such big chunks.  He will produce among the best but expect another dropoff.  
2B-Ray Durham (31)-  Although he has different tools than the departed Kent, Durham's arrival more than makes up for the loss.  He has pure speed and effective power while giving the Giants a legimate leadoff hitter.  A switch-hitter, he is intelligent enough to take advantage of what a park gives him and he should put up big numbers once again.  There is a small chance he'll end up in center.
3B-Edgardo Alfonzo (28)-  Like his counterpart across the diamond, Alfonzo lacks the power typically found in a corner infielder.  If there is one thing the former pivot knows how to do, it's hit though as he carries a career .292 average into his first year away from New York.  It appears back troubles have taken away some of his power but may find a resurgence hitting around Bonds that Kent did the last six years.  A career-year isn't out of reach.
CL-Robb Nen (33)-  The hard throwing stopper saved 40 for the third season in a row and 30 for the seventh and is primed to duplicate the feat.  He had offseason shoulder surgery but should be ready for Opening Day.  He is arguably the NL's top closer on a year to year basis.

Better Days Ahead:
SP-Ryan Jensen (27)- Jensen won 13 games last year despite allowing nearly 1.5 runners/inning in his first stint as a full-time starter.  He has decent but not spectacular stuff and would be a reliable inning eater from the 4/5 spot but doesn't have enough to move any higher than that.  He will vie for the last spot in the rotation but with a corp of young arms arriving may end up in relief.
SP-Kurt Ainsworth (24)-  While Jensen appears headed for a career in the pen, Ainsworth has the stuff to be a top of the rotation pitcher.  He has a deep repertoire and is continually improving his command.  Last year's sneak preview was more than enough to convince the Giants he is a serious talent.  He will vie for a spot in the rotation and if he is sent down it won't be for long.

Risky Business:
RF-Jose Cruz Jr (28)-  After years of teasing the Blue Jays with his all-around talent, Cruz wore out his welcome with continued impatience and fruitless at-bats.  He is virtually defenseless against southpaws and hasn't shown the ability to hit for both average and power.  He may see some upgrades hitting after Bonds but he is what he is and probably won't ever be more.

Supporting Cast:
SS-Rich Aurilia (31)-  It may not have helped Aurilia when he scorched 37 homeruns two years ago.  Last year he spent more time trying to jack it to left than cater to his strengths.  His average and overall production paid for it.  Though he is better than he was last year, it was a good indicator of his true talent.  For an NL shortstop, Aurilia is a solid producer but it goes no further than that.
SP-Kirk Rueter (32)-  Following the high-priced pitchers in front of him, Rueter is a bargain at today's prices.  He has won at least 11 games every year with the Giants and is equally tough on both sides of the plate.  Rueter is one of the worst strikeout pitchers but is very adept in letting his fielders do the work.  He'll be better than his third spot in the rotation indicates and matching with other #3s will bring many wins his way.
SP-Livan Hernandez (28)-  Hernandez set out to prove his dreadful '01 season was a fluke but may have proved his previous standard of '00 was the fluke.  A finess pitcher, he continually loses command of his pitches and too often gets beat in the strikezone.  He will eat up innings and come away with a fair amount of wins but give up a lot of baserunners in the process.
1B- J.T. Snow (35)-  Snow continues to trudge along on the underside of average first base production due to his skills with the glove.  Long considered the game's best gloveman at first, he has little power or hitting potential left and will hit out of the back end of the lineup.  Were it not for the sluggers the Giants have had the last few years, he would have been replaced and may still yet.   
SP-Jason Schmidt (30)- Throughout his career, Schmidt has fluttered between potential ace and injury risk and last year was no different.  Missing his first few starts, he was slow to find a groove but once he did became the Giants best starter.  He is supposedly healthy and will continue to win a lot of games while putting up quality numbers across the board. 
SP-Damien Moss (26)-  It's not often a team can give up its best pitcher and come out ahead but it appears that's the case with the arrival of Moss.   While going through the same command problems Ortiz has battled throughout his career, Moss is much farther ahead in his development and has an arsenal that is at times downright unhittable.   Since elbow surgery in '98, Moss has become a brand new ace-in-the-making.

Past Their Prime:
C-Benito Santiago (38)-  Santiago came back from the dead and made his first All-Star appearance since '92.  Nearly out of baseball, he has once again established himself as a top all around catcher although his legs don't give him the arsenal he once had.  Santiago will once again be the regular but likely won't hold up again for 500 ABs.
CF-Marquis Grissom (35)-  Grissom used a productive year with the Dodgers to reel in a two-year contract with the Giants but has seen his better days.  Once a fleet footed baserunner, he has transitioned into a moderate power-hitter who lacks much of the bat speed he used to have.  While he still has above average speed, he is largely a station to station runner who will see most of his time in the lower end of the lineup, though he will see time in the #2 spot as well.

The Final Cut:
Joe Torre once said "If everyone played with the same players, Felipe Alou would win the World Series every year".  No small statement from the skipper who owns a handful of trophys.  But after seeing what he did with the young talent in Montreal in a perpetual rebuilding process, Torre may be right.  Now Alou has a chance to settle into a job with clout, a financial backing and the game's most dangerous hitter.  Although the homeruns Kent took with him will be missed, the acquisition of Alfonzo and Durham will more than make up for it while the Giants field a more diverse team.  The rotation is as deep as anyone in the NL and if their production can match their workload, the bullpen will finish the job.  Simply put, they are a better team.  They should fight for the division and should find themselves in the playoffs again where it would be hard to stop them from finishing the job.
