2023 ZiPS Projections: San Francisco Giants

The Giants are sturdily built but they’re a star or two short on offense.

The 2010-12-14 teams didn't have any real superstar hitters either. They did ok.

85 - 90 wins..?

I'll take it!

Just make the playoffs. And 85-90 wins could be enough to do so.

(Also, that Posey guy was pretty good, especially in 2012. )

Not worthy of it’s own thread…

Ishikawa just signed to do in studio post game analysis. I don’t have access to these things, so I won’t be able to judge for myself, but I like bringing in the older guys to the broadcast team. Lopez and Estes are OK, but I don’t know that they are anchor-types for the booth. We need to find the next generation because K&K are almost done and Jon doesn’t have much longer past them and Flem is more of a super-part-time guy.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if Kuip wants to keep going without Kruk. Maybe both have another 5 years in them though, who knows. Miller seems fine for the foreseeable. Flem can have all he wants, maybe he becomes the main dude in a year or two. I like Estes and Lopez...we will see if they develop into fixtures.
