When the San Francisco Giants won three World Series rings under Bruce Bochy, they were carried by their pitching. Pre-Arizona Madison Bumgarner and two-time Cy Young-winner Tim Lincecum headlined rotations that just dominated in October.
The Giants are still known for their home-farmed pitching today. Logan Webb might be the best ace nobody knows. Camilo Doval is developing into a strong closer. San Francisco is even taking a big risk and trying to make longtime reliever Jordan Hicks a starter!
But baseball has evolved, and team president Farhan Zaidi knows this.
