Logan Webb is a top-10 pitcher in major league baseball. The San Francisco Giants are lucky to have him anchoring their rotation for years to come. But beyond Webb, the Giants' current projected rotation is extremely inexperienced. The most experienced of the bunch, Jordan Hicks, has very little experience as a starting pitcher! The rest of the SF Giants' projected starters are young players looking to make their name in the game. Do the Giants need to add pitching after Alex Wood, Ross Stripling, and Anthony DeSclafani have all found new homes?

Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast:

Given how the Giants were reportedly aggressively involved in the Corbin Burnes trade market, doesn't that alone suggest they are still searching for a top of the rotation arm to complement Logan Webb to start the 2024 season?

Is it possible to get Jorge Soler and Matt Chapman? Or is it one of them and another starter?

Is it realistic to think the Giants will land both Soler and Chapman? Or is it a situation of just one?

Is Luis Matos going to be a starter on Opening Day?

Do you enjoy the SF Giants' brand of baseball?

Are you happy with the direction of this team?

Do you think this ownership is committed to winning - as in, is it a priority?

What grade do you give the Giants for this offseason?

What stat do you value most when evaluating pitchers?
