Forever Giants: 2017 San Francisco Giants Year 60 (Franchise Year 135)

Monday, October 2, 2017

2016 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.

2017 (67-95)

C Buster Posey 4.75
1B Brandon Belt 2.65
2B Joe Panik 1.35
SS Brandon Crawford 1.15
3B Eduardo Nunez .65
LF Jarrett Parker .3
CF Denard Span .05
RF Hunter Pence .45
OF Gorkys Hernandez -.35
3B Pablo Sandoval -.5
C Nick Hundley .25
1B Ryder Jones -1.3
3B Christian Arroyo -.6
LF Austin Slater .25
IF Kelby Tomlinson .1
SP Madison Bumgarner 4
SP Johnny Cueto 1.7
SP Jeff Samardzija 2.55
SP Matt Cain -.65
SP Ty Blach 2
SP Matt Moore -.15
SP Chris Stratton 1.5
RP Cody Gearrin 2.85
RP Hunter Strickland 2.1


-The two worst teams in San Francisco are history are this team and '85 - and unless Will Clark's walking through that door next year the turnaround is unlikely to be as dramatic as was the case 30 years prior. Whatever credit we borrowed on to win those 3 titles earlier in the decade has fully come due.
