I was surprised to see the Giants payroll was larger than the dodgers. Te Giants were paying a number of players who for different reasons were not performing this year
Everybody who is anybody on the team had significant injuries this year. Never seen anything like it.

Part of the problem I think is that no player wants to go to such a screwed up city like San Francisco.


ESPN has picked the Giants to take the National League West Division Championship the last two years in a row....why? Certainly not where they ended up.

2017?

In all fairness to the Giants, they have been hit with some significant injuries.

Man the Giants ae going to be one boring team this year. They've made no effort to improve at all on an already horrendous team

Agreed. It was unprecedented in the annals of sport. The only thing that even comes close to matching it is the 2018 49ers.

Giants are in "wait & see" mode. They've got enough veteran that, if healthy, could string together a playoff season. But they've got over $104M invested in 8 players and a shit Farm system. Best situation for them is to flip MadBum at the deadline for a prospect haul.

""Evan Longoria, the three-time All-Star had the worst season of his 11-year big league career after joining the Giants, posting career lows in batting average (.244), on-base percentage (.281) and home runs (16). ""

Imagine that! Its no surprise, every player who comes to the Giants has his worst season ever. The Giants simply do not do their homework and are hoodwinked by more astute front offices and player agents.
