Maybe in that moment, in a vaccum, before the other teams have made their moves, that's true. Nightengale further writes that the Giants may go for broke in 2005 and raise their team payroll from $70 million to $100 million. But that won't mean much until we know what's happening with the Dodger roster vacancies. Becoming the NL West favorite in November isn't too meaningful.
For what it's worth, it does appear quite possible that the 2007 Giants will be doing their best imitation of the 2004 Arizona Diamondbacks.
