2009 San Francisco Giants season
Major League Baseball team season
The 2009 San Francisco Giants season was the Giants ' 127th year in Major League Baseball , their 52nd year in San Francisco since their move from New York following the 1957 season , and their tenth at AT&T Park . After four consecutive losing seasons, the team finished in third place in the National League West with an 88–74 record, 7 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers . Following Peter Magowan 's retirement, Bill Neukom served as general managing partner of the Giants.[ 1] After a season with the fewest home runs of any team since the 1993 Florida Marlins ,[ 2] general manager Brian Sabean said the Giants would attempt to bring in a power hitter as well as strengthening a bullpen that held a 4.45 ERA in 2008, 14th in the National League .[ 3] [ 4]
After leading the National League Wild Card race for most of the season, the Giants were ultimately passed by the Colorado Rockies . The team finished third in the NL West and second in the Wild Card. Though they missed the playoffs, the Giants surpassed most expectations for their season; for example, Sports Illustrated projected that the Giants would finish with a record of 77–85.[ 5] Sports Illustrated' s Lee Jenkins noted San Francisco's promising farm system (including products Pablo Sandoval and Madison Bumgarner ) and the perceived weakness of the NL West as reasons to be optimistic about the Giants' potential.[ 6] Additionally, the Giants' starting rotation boasted three Cy Young Award winners: Randy Johnson , Tim Lincecum , and Barry Zito . After the season ended, Lincecum won his second straight Cy Young.[ 7] The Giants would build on their surprising 2009 season the following year, winning the World Series. It would be their first in San Francisco.
