The San Francisco Giants started off the 2015 season on Monday with their first game of a three-game series on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks. One game down, 161 to go.

In this week’s Giants Mailbag, we will discuss expectations for Tim Lincecum in 2015, the lack of power from the left field “platoon,” and how Nori Aoki will do as the leadoff hitter, compared to Angel Pagan.

This is the 12th edition of the Giants Mailbag. In these weekly posts, I answer three Giants-related questions sent to me over Twitter.

In last week’s Giants Mailbag, we discussed expectations for Matt Cain this season, who will be this season’s Joe Panik, and what the biggest concern is for the Giants in 2015.

Thank you to the fans that submitted questions this week. Let’s get this week’s Giants Mailbag started.
