My WAR calculation is a combination of Baseball-reference and Clay Davenport; I believe it to be the "best" WAR number available for historical comparison. 8 WAR is an MVP quality season. The record is pythagorean adjusted for 162 games.

RP Slim Emmerich 0-3 straight years under .500 pythagorean wins for the Giants. Ott's in his last season as a starter, he hits his 500th homer and crosses the 100 WAR mark. Whitey Lockman's on this team - he'll also play for a season in San Francisco.
