Evan Longoria is one of seemingly 25 Giants coming off a career-worst year. In 2018, Longoria posted career lows in home runs, walk rate, batting average, on-base percentage, wOBA, wRC+, and WAR. Which WAR you ask? Well, all of them. Baseball-Reference wasn’t too hard on Longoria, putting him at 1.9 bWAR, which is about average for an everyday starter, but both FanGraphs had him at just a half win above replacement and Baseball Prospectus had him at half a win below.
It was a less than encouraging start to Longoria’s Giants career is what I’m trying to say.
