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.
1949 85-77

1B Joe Lafata -.3
1B Bert Haas -.1
SP Larry Jansen 1.95
SP Monty Kennedy 2.45
SP Dave Koslo 5.8
SP Sheldon Jones 2.3
SP Clint Hartung -.25-Durocher brings in the Giants first black players, Irvin and Thompson; then moves Mize at midseason. Walker Cooper is dealt, Gordon/Kerr/Marshall are all moved after the season. Kerr, Marshall, and the great Mize all remain in the top 100 Giants of all time as of the end of 2016.
