Connor Joe and the outfielders who made history

8 games, 16 PA, .067/.125/.067, -46 OPS+, -0.2 fWAR

2019 might have been the last year of the Giants’ dynasty and the last year of Bruce Bochy’s tenure, but it was also the Year of Connor Joe. We will remember Connor Joe because he became the face of Farhan Zaidi’s attempt to radically remake the Giants in the only way he could after just four months on the job: by insisting upon a veteran-less answer to the roster’s open questions.

Zaidi traded for Joe a week before the end of Spring Training, setting him up to be the Opening Day left fielder.
