Evidence that Farhan is doing a good job.  Last year, all of the SF Giants’ minor league teams finished last in their league except their rookie team.

Here’s an update on the SF Giants’ minor league teams:

1)     The Sacramento Grizzlies are second in their league and 8-8.
2)     The Richmond Flying Squirrels are 4th of 6 and 7-7.
3)     The San Jose Giants are 3rd of 4 (and 7th of 8) in the California league and are 7-10.  Ramos is batting .241, but is 7th in the league in OPS with .927.
4)     Augusta Green Jackets are 2nd of 7 with an 8-7 record.
5)     Salem-Kaiser Volcanoes and the Arizona Giants fall league haven’t started yet.

Well, I think the improvements are due more to having accumulated a lot of older 4A players than necessarily spotting young talent.  We now have guys like Slater and Williamson and Opening Day starter Michael Reed in the minors.
