With all due respect to Dick Dietz, Benito Santiago and Bengie Molina, Buster Posey gets my vote for the Giants all-time catcher. He threw a total of 870.1 innings for the Giants, with an ERA of 3.23 and WHIP of 1.417. The "Moon Man" pitched 13 seasons for the Giants, with 125 saves. He was probably the most dominant of the Giants' closers, but even so, I give Wilson the nod because of the World Series. Nen struck out 453 hitters in 378.1 innings of work.

These numbers are also better than Wilson, but Nen was unable to deliver a World Series to San Francisco in 2002. Nen accumulated 206 saves with an ERA of 2.43 and WHIP of 1.084. He pitched for the Giants for five seasons from 1998-2002. Statistically, Beck is a bit better than Wilson, but as a life-long Giants fan, I will always remember Wilson closing out the NLCS and World Series, so he gets my vote. His career ERA was 2.97 and he had a WHIP of 1.073. He pitched seven years for the Giants and saved 199 games. I believe when Wilson's career with the Giants is over, he will ultimately be the saves leader. In 2010, he led the National League with 48 saves. Wilson has struck out 338 batters in 318 innings of work. His WHIP of 1.327 is high, but Wilson always has a knack for getting that final out. He has pitched for the Giants from 2006 to now and has a career ERA of 3.17, with 170 career saves. Wilson's career numbers are solid, although there is room for improvement. In addition to being a top-notch closer for the past four seasons, Wilson was the man who closed out the NLCS and World Series for the Giants, giving them their first championship in San Francisco. He went on to win the first of his two Cy Young awards that very next year.īrian Wilson gets my vote in a very tight race, as there were many top candidates for this award. In one of the worst moves in Giants history, Perry was traded to Cleveland following the 1971 season for Sam McDowell. Perry was also known for his propensity to load up the baseball with illegal substances from time to time. He compiled a record of 134-109, with an ERA of 2.96 and WHIP of 1.152.Īs a Giant, Perry threw 2,294.1 innings, allowing 2,061 hits and striking out 1,606. Perry pitched 10 of his 22 seasons with the San Francisco Giants.
He has been a dominant pitcher over his career and helped lead the Giants to their first World Series title in San Francisco. Lincecum is adored by the Giants fans, and he has thrived in San Francisco.
He has led the league in strikeouts in three different seasons. In these past four and a half years, he has thrown 1,028 innings and struck out 1,127 batters. Lincecum broke in with the Giants in the middle of the 2007 season. Lincecum has a career record of 69-41, with an outstanding ERA of 2.98 and WHIP of 1.188.

He is the only pitcher in the history of baseball to win back-to-back Cy Young awards in his first two full major league seasons. I ultimately went with Marichal based on his longevity and 14 great years in a Giants' uniform. It was a tough decision between Marichal and Tim Lincecum, as both are truly outstanding pitchers. He also has 244 complete games and 52 shutouts to his credit. Marichal threw 3,443.2 innings as a Giant, allowing 3,153 hits and striking out 2,281 hitters.Īs a Giant, Marichal was a nine-time All-Star and twice led the National League in wins. Marichal had an ERA of 2.84 and WHIP of 1.095, both slightly better than Tim Lincecum. Over those 14 seasons, Marichal won 238 games and lost 140. He is a Hall of Fame member and pitched for the Giants from 1960-1973. Juan Marichal, the "Dominican Dandy," is our all-time San Francisco Giants starting pitcher.
