He was hurt as he made a diving tag on Cardinals' Kolten Wong on a bunt attempt on September 4 in St. Louis, saving the Giants' 9-8 victory. On September 15, he was moved to the 60-day IL. His injury required surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee. Watson had three hits in 21 at-bats before getting injured. He was hitting.455 (21 for 48) with runners in scoring position before being put on the disabled list. Watson is expected to be ready for spring training next year. He was drafted by San Francisco in the first round (29th overall) of the 2008 draft. Tony Watson's career stats include 155 games played, 393 at-bats, 75 runs scored, 19 doubles, 5 triples, 10 home runs, 49 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. His batting average is.275 and his on-base percentage is.372. He has a wOBA of.363 which means that if all batters were like Tony Watson then their teams would win 36.3% of the time. This number is low because of the nature of how he gets on base. However, this does show that even though he doesn't hit for much power, he makes up for it by getting people out.
