Farhan Zaidi botched the first two weeks of the MLB season

This is the best Farhan Zaidi can do?

The Giants’ new president of baseball operations put together an opening-day starting lineup with two no-name outfielders — Connor Joe and Michael Reed — and designated both for assignment within two weeks.

Is this any way to start a baseball season? Very bad look for Zaidi. A look that makes you question his capability to run a franchise.

Sure, the Giants presented him with a mess. He inherited an old, bad, expensive, declining team. Not his fault. And we’ve heard good things about him. He did well with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland A’s, although he never won a World Series.
