However, one of the more notable deficiencies with last season’s roster was the terrible defensive play of the aging outfield.
The three outfielders who played the most last season for the Giants were Hunter Pence (1047.1 innings), Denard Span (1039.1 innings) and Gorkys Hernandez (743.2 innings). Their combined dWAR was nearly a ghastly-4.0 (all dWAR stats courtesy of BBRef).
With offseason additions Andrew McCutchen and Austin Jackson in tow, Hunter Pence is the only holdover who should be getting a starter’s workload as he moves from left field to right field.
