MVPs (at least recent ones): Bonds, Kent, Posey. The other two are for the old timers.
Bocci must have won Manager of the Year, no? Alas, I was wrong, only in San Diego (1996). In that case, I will go with Dusty.

6MVP’s - Mays, McCovey, W. Clark, Kent, Bonds, Posey (89 scratch Clark add Mitchell)
Roy - McCovey, Marichal, W. Clark, Bobby Bonds, Posey
GG’s Jimmy Davenport and Gary Maddox
2 Post CYs- Gaylord and a left handed pitcher that became closer they traded to the Padres who had one brobdingnagian year. I can see his face. Drawing a blank on name.
Pre CYs - Can only think of R Johnson.

Lex got the MVPs by adding Kevin Mithchell
Rookies of the Year
McCovey, Posey, Cepeda and Mathews yes.
No one has mentioned the 5th Mays was a rookie before the move to SF
Dusty Baker won Nanager of the Year 3 times with the Giants. Strangely Bochey only with the Padres. Not Roger Craig or Alvin Dark
Jimmy Davenport was the 3rd SF Giant to win a Gold Glove.
So need a ROY and the 2nd SF Giant to win a Gold Glove. 1959 was the year
Cy Young soon but my bad 3 won post Giant career and 7 pre bring Giants
The three who won Cy Young’s post Giants yes Gaylord Perry (2 years after his brother Jim won). 2 others Lex is close but not the Raider Owner lol

Been out all day, good questions Bobbbbbbbbbb.
The Count was a ROY.
I went through the Giants lineup for '59 for Gold Glove. Not the catcher or Orlando. Infield? Only Davenport worthy. Mays of course couldn't be Kirkland or Felipe in RF and then I remembered Jackie Brant was a helluva outfielder. So process of elimination it had to be Brandt, LF.
