After winning the World Series in 2014, the San Francisco Giants will be riding high in 2015. However, they have plenty of holes in their lineup, and it may very well turn into a long season for the Champs. To help you rank the team's talent for your 2015 draft, here are the top five fantasy baseball players for the San Francisco Giants.

Casilla will start the season as the unquestioned starting closer for the Giants. Unfortunately, San Fran will likely struggle for the majority of the season,which won't leave Casilla many save opportunities. The righty is only worth drafting in deeper leagues that start more than two closers.

After six straight 200-inning/sub 4.00-ERA seasons, Cain has been a a mess that past two years. His ERA shockingly went from 4.00 in 2013 up to 4.13 in 2014. He also hit the DL for the first time in his career. Cain was once an established fantasy ace, but the right-hander is barely worth a roster spot anymore.

Pence was hit in the forearm in the beginning of spring training and broke his forearm. He will miss another 5-6 weeks due to the injury and his draft value has dropped as a result. However, he will only miss a week or two once the season begins. He recorded 20 HRs last season to go along with a .277 average and 13 SBs. He will be a sleeper OF3 to find after the sixth round this year.

ADP: 80.0

Posey is without a doubt the top catcher in fantasy. He has a career .308 batting average and has hit over 20 HRs in two of the past three seasons. He also qualifies at first base, but it doesn't have much of an impact outside of adding some depth.


ADP: 25.8

Bumgarner has emerged as a legitimate fantasy star. He has thrown over 200 innings in four straight seasons and his masterful postseason run (52.2 IP, 1.03 ERA) helped the Giants win their their World Series in five years. The young southpaw will be a safe SP1 in all formats.

ADP: 23.8
