Unfortunately they need than just a new LF.

The other night they got beat 18-2.  I checked while the game was in progress and Arizona's line score looked like a putt-putt golf scorecard, 1-2-2-3-3-3 on the first 6 holes.  AZ's first 4 batters were 14 for 24 with 4 HRs, 11 runs and 14 RBIs.  That's about two weeks' production from the Giants.

Agreed.  This will be a legendarily bad team, for quite a while, I think.  Especially after years of bad drafts and trading good young players.  The next half decade might resemble the 1983-1985 years.  They're on a pace to go 49-113 this year.  Their worst 162-game record to date was 1985's 62-100.  If they finish with 49 wins, it would tie the 2003 Detroit Tigers as the 10th worst team in history.

All their good players got old at the same time, and on the young side.  In 2016, the Giants finished with 87 wins.  Next season, 64.  Next season, 73.

This team is breathtakingly bad.  In the purest pitcher's park in baseball, they have the 21st best ERA and have given up the 22nd most runs.  Oddly, their WHIP is 13th best.  Maybe there's hope.  Their fielding percentage is 25th best.  Their hitting percentage is 29th, their OPS is 28th, their runs scored is 27th.  23rd in stolen bases.  25th in walks.

This team cannot pitch, hit, field or run. 

On the minor league level, the AAA RiverCats are 11th of 16 PCL teams. The AA Richmond Flying Squirrels are 11th of 12 teams. The A league San Jose Giants are 5th of 8 teams.

Good luck, Farhan.
