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.

-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.
