Top Ten San Francisco Giants Players
Basically the best player
Juan's great pitching style is classic, so much so in one week that style made the cover of Sports Illustrated. He had 2,303 strikeouts and ONLY 709 walks, a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.25 to 1. From 1962 to 1971, his Giants averaged 90 wins a season, and Juan averaged 20 wins a season. Although he never played on a World Series champion, he was still good enough to go into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1983.
