1. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: October 18, 2021 at 11:02 AM (#6047139)Playoff teams:
Giants 0 of 15
Rays 6 of 13 (4 were 26)
Cards 4 of 10 (2 were 26)
Braves 3 of 11
Dodgers 3 of 13 (one was Bellinger)
White Sox 5 of 14 (incl Madrigal who was traded)
Astros 5 of 11
Red Sox 3 of 10 (wow, just 10 guys and the #12 guy in PAs is Schwarber ... that was a very healthy lineup)
Yankees 2 of 13 (Torres & Frazier who weren't very good this year)
Brewers 2 of 13 (Hiura missed by 3 PA but he was terrible)
So the Giants were definitely outliers, both in having no young players but also in the number who cleared 200 PA. But only the Astros and Rays have a substantially higher proportion of under-27 than the league average -- which probably isn't surprising since good teams probably feature more players in their primes.
But if you were gonna pick a first-to-worst team for next year, it's the Giants. Huge seasons out of Posey (34), Belt (33), Crawford (34), Longoria (35). Maybe 2 guys get hurt, 2 guys show their age, their surprisingly good AAAA OF turns back into AAAA, Gausman and DeSclafani turn back into Gausman and DeSclafani, Webb comes up lame. Unless BALCO has re-opened, I don't hold out much hope for the 2022 Giants. Of course I didn't hold out much hope for the 2021 Giants and look what happened.
