So become the As? 

Hope not.  The Giants have to both win now and build the future.  It's harder but if they want to be a top tier team they need to figure this out.  Their fans aren't ready for them to tank and we've watched the As and their perpetual building plan with horror for years.

Agree. I think they are closer to contending than to perennial losers. Still in the division race and tied for a wild card spot at the moment.
