San Francisco Giants
12 roto titles · 126 seasons (1901–2026) · NY1 → SF
Start with the number: twelve Roto Champ titles across 126 seasons of San Francisco Giants history. All of them came by 1993, and the franchise has not topped the standings in the 33 seasons since. Their average finish is 10.2 all time, against 21.3 over the last ten seasons, a steep fall from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Willie Mays in 1957, worth a 25.9 z-score. He owns 12 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Read the All-Franchise Team below knowing its slots are strict: George Kelly, Orlando Cepeda and Dave Robertson all out-rate somebody who made it, and missed only because their position ran out of room.
