lets see how this looks now...

Post all star break he's got a 2.87 ERA/4.11 FIP. 0.1 fWAR since break #148
Tony Watson- he's got a 4.73 ERA/3.38 FIP. 0.1 fWAR since break- #115

top 5 RP for Smith. LOL.

In Smith's last 8 appearances he's allowed zero earned runs (7.2 IP, 10Ks, 4 BB). That's bad? I get that he's not as good as such great players as Kelvin Herrera, but if more guys were as bad as Smith, there'd be a lot of good RP in the league. In the end he's 5th among NL RP in fWAR. Hence....Top 5.

Watson has obviously had much less success, but is still worth his contract. Let's see how he does next year.

Since June 1st the Giants are 1st in team ERA and 27th in runs scored. This lineup is such a joke and won't be getting any better next year.

it's a shame he's had 11 appearances in August and a 3.38 ERA- even with a .091 babip. Maybe he's gotten himself back- but then again-Even in your SSS 8 appearances, he had a .125 babip. So that's not sustainable. 3.81 FIP/3.62 xFIP.

I can totally see why teams didn't look to trade for either of those.
