As an apparent board member of the Bob Melvin fan club, the veteran skipper has done as well as anyone could with this Jekyll and Hyde team.

While the Gisnts need rotation depth, SF also needs some reliable late inning bullpen arms. No closer set for 2026 with Ryan Walker essentially imploding in September. These issues are not on Melvin. He worked as well as he could with an inexperienced journeymen pen after Doval and Rogers were traded..

Maybe, the Giants can resign Rogers. Maybe, Peguero is the real thing. Maybe, Miller bounces back. Maybe, McDonald is a better MLB than AAA pitcher.

The potential is there and Melvin knows how to work with a pitching staff.
