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.

This is the worst Giants club since '56 and there hasn't been a worse Giants team since '43. Davenport gives way to Roger Craig by the end of the season, and Tom Haller loses his GM job. The Giants drew under a million in attendance. This it for Kuiper, now, Kuiper was bad, 600 PA and a negative two and a half WAR. But that's far overshadowed by, to this date, the worst Giant in 103 years; Johnny LeMaster soaked up 3400 PA as a Giant and produced -5.8 WAR. He's Bizarro Mays, the least valuable Giant to date.
