What does a 16-6 spring training record mean?

Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle acknowledges that the games are meaningless, but notes that the Orange and Black has looked fairly sharp. They won 6-1 today over the Chisox. He also reported that Kevin Fransden is being shopped but there are no takers.

The Giants hit seven doubles and triples and Matt Cain looked impressive. Here's some key verbiage --
In more than two decades of covering ball, I cannot remember a Giants team that played better fundamental baseball day in and day out in the exhibitions. I'm talking about not kicking the ball around, hitting cutoff men, sending runners to third with nobody out with grounders to the right side, etc...
I joked with Cain today about not wanting to use your best stuff during rehearsal, but he said he thinks these wins are important.
"I think this right here is going to build confidence for us carrying over into the season," Cain said.
