The Giants couldn't win a World Series during the Barry Bonds era. They
couldn't get it done with names like Mays, McCovey and Marichal, either. Yet
there was a magic within their starless ranks in 2010.
As unbelievable as the story might be, the Giants really did win the first
World Series in the franchise's 53 seasons in San Francisco. They're still
cleaning up the ticker tape from the parade down Market Street, which drew
almost a million people.
For all the talk of misfits, castoffs, rally thongs and black beards, the
Giants won the National League West and charged through three postseason
series because their homegrown pitching staff was deeper and better than
every opponent they faced. Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner—all
first-round picks—remained solid to the end, and Jonathan Sanchez was just
as good in his first two playoff starts before fading down the stretch. The
bullpen was dominant, led by Brian Wilson, whom the organization shrewdly
took as a 24th-round pick in 2003 knowing he needed Tommy John surgery.
Guiding these golden arms was Buster Posey, who became the first rookie
backstop to hit in the middle of the order for a World Series winner since
Yogi Berra in 1947. Posey won the NL rookie of the year award, San
Francisco's first recipient since John Montefusco in 1975. That's a pretty
good reflection on scouting director John Barr, who made Posey his first pick
for the franchise in 2008, and a big reason why the Giants were Baseball
America's Organization of the Year.
San Francisco stood in fourth place at the all-star break and made over its
Opening Day lineup during the summer. Only Aubrey Huff and Juan Uribe
remained everyday players from beginning to end. From Pat Burrell to Cody
Ross to Andres Torres, there weren't enough Cinderella slippers to go around.
The championship was an affirmation for Brian Sabean, the longest-tenured
general manager in the game, who refused to break up his young rotation to
get offensive help. In a champagne-soaked clubhouse after the clinching win
against the Rangers, Sabean resisted wagging his finger at critics of his
insular management style and his scouting-heavy evaluation methods. Instead,
he said he was happy for the club's longtime employees, folks behind the
scenes and long-suffering fans in the Bay Area.
Manager Bruce Bochy also came out of the title run having earned a newfound
appreciation among Giants fans, who often criticized his lineup whims during
the season but had no reason to complain as he made one genius move after
another in the playoffs.
Now San Francisco looks ahead to defending in 2011, confident in a rotation
that is under club control through 2012 but aware they have work to do on the
lineup. Sabean received the green light to take the payroll over $100 million
for the first time, which should give him enough money to cover raises to his
nine arbitration-eligible players, and the team re-signed Burrell and Huff
and brought in Miguel Tejada.
The Giants graduated most of their elite minor league talent, led by Posey
and Bumgarner, and the system is light on starting pitching. They do have one
more potential impact player on the cusp of the big leagues in first baseman
Brandon Belt, and they're eager to see how quickly their top two 2010 draft
picks, college outfielders Gary Brown and Jarrett Parker, can move through
the system.
