Projection season winds down for the Giants with Dan Szymborski’s latest ZiPS projection for 2019.

ZiPS... likes... the Giants? Or, at least, parts of the Giants? A lot of that infield sure looks like the “championship core” Farhan Zaidi has referred to throughout the offseason. It all comes down to health, of course, and if you want to believe that the volume of injuries suffered by Giants regulars over the past few years is more fluke than reality, then I won’t begrudge you that dream.
