Pitching pitching pitching. Starter(s) and relief. Other than that I think they're fairly set as far as the defense goes. Hoping they can get at least one strong arm to go along with Madbum. I'm hoping they keep Aoki too. He was a nice fit and a strong bat in the lineup. I think they've got an option on him.

Nah, Giants never make any splashy moves. It's always the "we tried very hard to get so and so, but it didn't work out."
The only thing so far is whether to pick up Aoki's option (which they should) and re-sign Leake. They'll probably look for another starting pitcher, but it won't be the high priced guys (the we tried excuse they give every year).
Lincecum is most likely gone, unless he accepts a major downgrade in pay (Giants are still somewhat interested in him for whatever reason). Vogelsong is most likely gone as well. Hudson's retiring.
That's pretty much it

Pagan shouldn't be leading off. But I'm guessing he's demanding it so Bochy won't move him down in the order (he had a brief stint batting 8th or something, but it was for a very short while).
I rather have Aoki out there than Byrd. Byrd had some nice hits/RBIs when he first got here, but Pence should be back and I think Aoki's more consistent with both offense and defense.
