The San Francisco Giants currently have a 6-10 record, which is the worst in the National League West and fourth worst in the National League and MLB. They are coming off a very impressive 6-2 win over the rival Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night though.

In this week’s Giants Mailbag, we will discuss Brandon Belt‘s struggles so far this season, if Justin Maxwell deserves a bigger role on the team, and if the Giants can win with Chris Heston and without Matt Cain and Jake Peavy.

This is the 14th edition of the Giants Mailbag posts, which are weekly posts that include my answers to three Giants-related questions that are sent to me over Twitter.

In last week’s Giants Mailbag post, I answered questions about the abundance of injuries the Giants have suffered so far, if Giants fans will ever miss Pablo Sandoval, and Madison Bumgarner‘s workload at the beginning of the season.

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