The 2013 Giants were not good - with 74 pythagorean wins, this is the 12th worst San Francisco Giants club ever. Each year, I break down the performance by WAR (B-Ref+Davenport) to put the season in perspective. The number next to each player represents his WAR.
C BPosey 5.35
-a more than 2.5 win drop from 2012; this now becomes the second greatest season ever for a SFG catcher
1B BBelt 4.85
-2 win gain for Belt in his best season yet.
2B MScutaro 2.4
-almost identical to his performance the season before
SS BCrawford 1.85
- a drop of over a win from '12.
3B PSandoval 2.15
-a drop of over a win from '12
LF GBlanco 1.95
- a 3 win drop from Melky Cabrera's 2012.
CF APagan 1.05
-a 3.5 win drop from '12. You see why we only won 74 pythag?
RF HPence 5.7
-The Giants best player in 2013; and a nearly 6 win gain.
OF JPerez 1.05
-The only other position player worth noting; Perez was worth a win in under 100 PA, he should be a real contender for more playing time at least as a useful 4th OF next year.
P MBumgarner 4.6
-almost a 2.5 win gain for Bumgarner, he was not quite as good as Cain, last year's ace.
Things are about to get ugly.
MCain .95
-As in less than one WAR. Cain lost 4 wins.
YPetit .55
-Petit, at half a win, was our third best starting pitcher (4th, really, Gaudin was a swingman and will appear in a second)
TLincecum -.3
-Lincecum's a sub replacement level pitcher, two straight seasons. You should not be rooting for his return.
R.Vogelsong -2.05
B. Zito -2.85
The previous worst season for any San Francisco Giants player was Terry Mulholland's -2.35 in 1995.
This is half a win worse. Barry Zito's 2013 is the worst season for any San Francisco Giant ever. A fitting end to his Giants career (Vogelsong is bottom ten ever)
Notable Rest:
P CGaudin 1.6
S Romo 1.95
S.Casilla 1.65
J.Lopez 1.35
J. Machie 1.15
