Ah, the good stuff: a Hank Schulman tweet. That’s right, the reliable Giants beat writer had this to say earlier this morning about the industry’s interest in David Bell:
At least one of the multiple teams considering David Bell for its managerial opening believes the #sfgiants view Bell as an in-house candidate for head of baseball ops. Bell is one year into remaking the SF farm system.

This makes a lot of sense. Evans and Sabean brought in Bell last season to overhaul the team’s farm system and most of the candidates who have been linked to Baer’s search — particularly, Jason McLeod and Amiel Sawdaye — have made their names through the young talent they’ve been able to scout and develop.
