As much as I want to bash on the Yorks , from what I remember at the time , the City of SF was not being very cooperative with efforts to keep the team here and Santa Clara gave the team a huge financial incentive to move , AND the team has had it ' s practice facility and many offices in Santa Clara for years now . While I agree they should have stayed in SF , that was a much harder dilemma when things were going down . Hindsight is always 2020 but getting the City to approve of a plan to keep the Niners there was simply not going to happen back when this was all being negotiated . <| sep |> Hopefully they do get it because lord knows I ' m gunna start laughing lol <| sep |> His combined WAR over the past four seasons is 1 . 3 . I don ' t know where you ' re getting that number . He has underperformed since his 2014 season where he produced 1 . 8 WAR . Injuries and his conversion to an outfielder last year are probably to blame for his decreased value . Hopefully things turn around for him .
