It was an up and down year for the San Francisco Giants, the third of a 3-year run that shook off all expectations created by their 107-win season in 2021. As with many things in life, nobody knows anything, and as smart as the Giants’ front office is, they don’t know how to make a good baseball team.
At least, that’s a reasonable takeaway from this latest losing season.
Say what you want about FanGraphs and ZiPS Projections, but I put a little stock in them in that major league front offices have hired away a number of FanGraphs contributors over the years.
