San Francisco Giants Power Rankings - 2013
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 12 | 35-33 | 13 | Tim Lincecum is an ugly 1-5 with a 5.29 ERA in his past six starts. Barry Zito, meanwhile, has been worse. He's 1-4 with a 7.15 ERA in his past six starts. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 11 | 33-29 | 14 | Since the start of May, Marco Scutaro has been swinging a hot bat, going .403 with 10 doubles, two triples and two home runs in that span. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 10 | 30-27 | 14 | The Giants' current run differential of minus-14 runs is clearly a problem. The team isn't pitching well (fifth-worst team ERA in the NL) and mounting injuries (Pablo Sandoval, Angel Pagan, Ryan Vogelsong) are only compacting matters. -- Chris Quick, Bay City Ball | |
| Week 9 | 28-22 | 12 | Buster Posey has hit safely in 19 of the 22 games in which he's played in May (.354 batting average to go along with a 1.006 OPS). -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 8 | 24-20 | 11 | Well, that didn't go well. The Giants took trips to Toronto and Colorado and came back almost bludgeoned to death. Over the past six games, the team has allowed 8.6 runs per game. For an organization that prides itself on pitching, things have got to change. -- Chris Quick, Bay City Ball | |
| Week 7 | 23-15 | 3 | After struggling out of the gate, Marco Scutaro's recent hot streak -- .479/.519/.729 over the past two weeks -- places him as the third best NL second baseman by FanGraph's WAR (1.2). -- Chris Quick, Bay City Ball | |
| Week 6 | 19-12 | 5 | Is there any hitter in baseball hotter than Pablo Sandoval right now? Over the past seven days, the Giants third baseman owns an outstanding batting slash line (BA/OBP/SLG) of .480/.481/.640. -- Chris Quick, Bay City Ball | |
| Week 5 | 13-12 | 8 | With 25 home runs allowed, fifth most in the National League, the Giants are on pace to give up 162 home runs this season. That's 20 more than what the 2012 team surrendered. Ryan Vogelsong (2.08 home runs per nine) and Matt Cain (1.88) have been particularly vulnerable to the long ball. -- Chris Quick, Bay City Ball | |
| Week 4 | 12-7 | 7 | Barry Zito has yet to allow a run in three starts at home (21 innings pitched), earning wins against the Cardinals, Rockies and Padres. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 3 | 9-4 | 4 | Hunter Pence hit a key game-tying, ninth-inning home run for the Giants on Sunday against the Cubs to force extra innings, where the Giants eventually won. Pence carries a batting slash line (BA/OBP/SLG) of .288/.327/.538 into the upcoming Milwaukee series. -- Chris Quick, Bay City Ball | |
| Week 2 | 3-3 | 5 | It's extremely early, but postseason hero Marco Scutaro's slow start -- 2-for-23 with no extra-base hits and back issues -- is a tad concerning for a 37-year-old infielder. -- Chris Quick, Bay City Ball | |
| Week 1 | 0-0 | 4 | The Giants enter 2013 with largely the same squad that netted the team its second World Series championship in three years. Is that good or bad? Only time will tell. But for now, the team will try and do the difficult job of defending its title. -- Chris Quick, Bay City Ball | |
