Happy PECOTA day! It’s the day where we huddle around our computers, open projections for players of our favorite team, and wonder if the offseason strategy should have been something more than picking up a bunch of outfielders on waivers.
This may come as a shock, but PECOTA doesn’t think much of the Giants’ offense. A few years ago, The Athletic’s Grant Brisbee wrote of the 2013 projections:
Neither Posey or Sandoval come especially close to their best seasons, but they’re the only Giants expected to slug over .450, which is a start, and they’re supposed to have good seasons, at least.
