The San Francisco Giants, Year 2015

The Giants are going to be good soon if not right now, but if you are a giants fan like me the year you should be looking forward to is 2015.

After reading Danny Penzas' great article on the San Jose Giants great roster it got me thinking about the years when the Giants will be good and decided that the best or at least the start of the best would be 2015. After looking into the prospects I have decided that the giants roster will be something like this.

                                      AGE   Avg.   R   HR  SB  Rbi

1  CF Wendell Fairley        27    .299 120  21   32   59

2  2B Nick Noonan            26    .302 95   22   15   87

3  RF Rafael Rodriguez      23    .309 112  33   25   105

4 1B Angel Villalona          24    .286 125  45    5   134    MVP

5  LF Roger Kieschnick      28    .277  98  29    12   98

6  C  Buster Posey           28    .321  86  18    10   92

7  3B Conor Gillaspie        28    .305  79  15    11   80 better fielder

7  3B Pablo Sandoval        28    .347  84  20     1   90 better hitter

8  SS Ehire Adrianza         25    .292  75   2    21   50  Gold Glove

Rotation

                              Age W - L   Era   K

Tim Lincecum           31 23 - 3  2.72  257  Cy Young

Madison Bumgarner  25 18 - 5   2.99 248

Matt Cain                30 16 - 6   3.35 195

Scott Barnes           27 13 - 9   4.01 131 only before Alderson for right/left...

Tim Alderson           26 15 - 5   3.87 167

Closer

                   Age   Era  K   SV  BLSV

Brian Wilson   33   2.67 98  47   6

or

Aaron King    26    1.22 111 58   1 this depends on if he stays a starter and if Wilson is still effective at 33 if he is still a starter could be in the rotation instead of Barnes

Record

107 - 55 World Series Champions

I believe that the Giants could actually win the series before this but 2015 will be the Giants best year or at least the beginning of their best years.
