1968 for the Giants both both starters and overall

Hey Phogge what former Seal was on the 1968 staff ?
I looked just now bet I’m right. The team had no 300 hitters and only three had double digit HRs.
Hey time to lower the mound

1908 was an amazing year for the New York Giants rotation. They had Christy Mathewson (1.43 ERA), Red Ames (1.81), Hooks Wiltse (2.24), Iron Man Joe McGinnity (2.27), Luther Taylor (2.33), Bill Malarkey (2.57) and Doc Crandall (2.94).  They even had a 21 year old Rube Marquard (only pitched/started one game) and -- no typo -- a pitcher named Bull Durham. Team ERA was 2.14, best the Giants franchise ever saw.

What year was the best year, statistically speaking, for the San Francisco Giants' starting rotation? For the pitching staff overall?

 

Overall - 1968 because the entire league was at a modern era low that year.

1968 for the Giants

Correct, 1968 for the staff overall (2.71 ERA for the season) and for the starting rotation only. In 1967, Giants had four main starters:

Perry, 2.61
Marichal, 2.76
Sadecki, 2.78
McCormick, 2.85

but they had three other starters who started 36 games collectively with about a 3.60 ERA.

Nope. The Indians played in '55 and the Red Sox in '56 and maybe '57 but he never rose above A until 1958. I doubt that he was in their camp in '56-7.
