Number 3: Robby Thompson, (1986-1996), 33.6 WAR

Robby Thompson was the second baseman before Kent, and spent a solid eleven seasons in San Francisco. He was runner up for NL Rookie of the Year in 1986, was a two time all-star, and won a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger in 1993.

Defensively he was worth 7.5 wins in his career with the Giants. He never had whopping numbers at the plate, just a .257/.329/.403/.733 slashline. He also had 103 stolen bases. Thompson was a very good second baseman for a long time in San Francisco. Number three on this list is well deserved.
