Still. I get to some, Zaidi can do no wrong…….

And who would they be? Anyone here? Certainly not the talking heads on the radio--even Krukow was taking some mild shots after the departure of Sabean. . . .

Sabean was a lot of fun. During his career, his Giants teams won 53.4% of their games, not quite as good as Farhan's 53.8%.

Sabean's first four years were slightly better, at 55.6%. Sabean came in after four years of Bob Quinn's wreckage, and Farhan came in after three years of Bobby Evans' wreckage who, like Quinn, had a great first year followed by a very steady decline. I don't know about the minor league system when Sabean took over, but when Farhan came in, the top three minor league affiliates of the Giants finished last in their leagues.  AAA, AA, A (SJ) were all dead last in their league or divisions.

This year should be interesting.

Not quite sure what this is responding to.  Also, not quite sure of the significance of  comparing their first couple of years. Sabean has about a 40 year body of work to look at - 29 with the Giants.

Baggerly wrote a bit about how he was cast off. Essentially ignored by Zaidi and Co.  Which to me is the height of arrogance. Why bother to listen to (or even consult with) a guy that’s twice built Championship level teams and did so with two very different approaches. (Sabean, as the Yankees Scouting director also help build the team with Jeter, Posada, Rivera and Pettitte in the 90’s) A baseball man that presided over the only 3 WS winners the organization has had in 64 years? I mean I’m sure he has limited computer skills. 

Do you wanna know how badly they disrespected Sabean? The Giants ‘22 media guide had a bio page on the Giants minor league emotional comfort dog. They had nothing on Sabean. 

 I get the impression, which, admittedly, may be  wrong, that this current front office just thinks they’re smarter than everybody else. A bunch of mathematicians. Baseball by mathematicians and computer programs.  
Time will tell. I’m becoming  dubious.

Wow. A group of people who think they are smarter than everybody else around. In honor of unnamed former participant here, let's just leave that astute observation hanging out there for awhile.
