The 70s are here.
The number is my WAR, made from combining baseball-reference and Davenport.
C Bob Brenly 1984 4.4
-This becomes the second best catching season yet.
1B Will Clark 1989 9.15
-The best season in the decade; the new best first base season yet.
2B Joe Morgan 1982 5.3
-Morgan ties Madlock with the top second base season yet. And he hit that homer.
SS Juan Uribe 1987 3.25
-Only the fifth best shortstop season yet; that's what happens when LeMaster "fills" the position for the first half of the decade.
3B Darrell Evans 1980 4.0
-Of the 8 best third base performances through '89, only one, this one from Evans in '80, is from this decade.
LF Kevin Mitchell 1989 7.45
-Like Clark had the best first base season yet, so did Mitch in left- no wonder we won the pennant.
CF Brett Butler 1988 6.25
-The first decade where Mays wasn't the CF; this is tied for the tenth top CF season through '89.
RF Chili Davis 1986 4.15
-The 11th best RF performance through '89 was the best of the 80s.
SP Vida Blue 1980 5.15
-Holy cow. Do you know how many better Giants pitching performances there were from '58-'79 than this, the best Giants starting pitching performance of the entire decade?
24
RP Greg Minton 1982 6.45
-The new best relief performance yet.
Bizarro Giant:
SS Johnny LeMaster 1982 1.8
Second worst Giant of the decade? LeMaster two years before.
