Forever Giants: 2005 San Francisco Giants Year 48 (123)

Monday, March 23, 2015

2004 is here.

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.


2005 71-91
C Mike Matheny .75
1B JT Snow .5 
2B Ray Durham 1.85
SS Omar Vizquel 1.95
3B Edgardo Alfonzo -.75
LF Pedro Feliz .75 
CF Jason Ellison .35
RF Michael Tucker -.55 
LF Moises Alou 3.55
1B Lance Niekro .6
CF Randy Winn 3.5
2B Deivi Cruz -.25
RF Todd Linden -.25
CF Marquis Grissom -1.7 
SP Noah Lowry 4.6
SP Brett Tomko 1.75 
SP Jason Schmidt 1.3
SP Brad Hennessey 1.25
SP Kirk Rueter -.75 
SP Matt Cain 1.4
RP Scott Eyre 1.95

-Timber.  Worst club since '96 as Bonds only plays in 14 games, that's still enough to catch Mays for San Francisco WAR.  The Giants win their 10,000th game in July.  The next generation of Giants becomes visible when Matt Cain joins the staff.
