The 80s are here.
The number is my WAR, made from combining baseball-reference and Davenport.
C Kurt Manwaring 1993 2.9
-You've got to go all the way to tenth best through '99 to get the best catching season of the 90s.
1B Will Clark 1992 5.9
-Clark's third best as a Giant was the best of the decade.
2B Robby Thompson 1993 6.9
-The two best second basemen yet were both from the 90s, this is the best.
SS Royce Clayton 1993 3.35
-5th best shortstop season yet.
3B Matt Williams 1993 5.75
-The strike killed what would have been the best season, Williams almost reached this same level in '94.
LF Barry Bonds 1996 10.15
-Top 5 left field seasons ever as of '99 - all Bonds. This is the best season of the decade. Bonds had the top 5 seasons of the decade.
CF Brett Butler 1990 4.55
-Only the 15th best season for a center fielder, but the best of the decade.
RF Willie McGee 1992 1.8
-Just a black hole; why didn't Bonds win a WS? His greatness was balanced by the zero production we got for the entire decade in right.
SP Shawn Estes 1997 4.65
-It's just the 33rd best starting pitching performance though '99 - but the best in the decade.
RP Robb Nen 1998 5
-second best year for a Giants reliever yet
Bizarro Giants:
P Terry Mulholland 1995 -2.3
-worst Giants pitching performance yet; Mulholland and JAlou the only negative 2 WAR SFG in the 20th century
