When the San Francisco Giants traded for Longoria, they were hoping to get a middle-of-the-order threat. While he hit in the middle of the order, the threat never seemed to be real.
In his first season with the club, Longoria posted a .244/.281/.413 slash line with 16 home runs. He actually led the team in home runs. This was moderately impressive as he spent 6 weeks of the season on the shelf with a broken hand.
Longoria struggled at Oracle Park. He is not the first, and will not be the last who struggles at Oracle.
