As for this season, Gausman is as good as any pitcher in the league west of Queens and DeSclafani has been a revelation.
Heck, Posey, Crawford and Gausman are locks for the All-Star team.
Barry Bonds instead of Posey on Rushmore. Hell, Bonds instead of all of them . . . except Mays.
Mays, Bonds and Posey are the three most important SF Giants. Mays cause he is the best. Gave SF immediately a superstar. Bonds because they possibly don’t get the park built without him. And Posey because he was the face of the franchise during their only three championships. The fourth on Rushmore is Stretch. Barely over Juan. Reason being McCovey might be the most beloved SF Giant. Hard to leave Juan off. He’s my favorite Giants pitcher of all time. An artist. I loved to watch him pitch. But as great as he was he did not have the impact of the other four.
