SAN FRANCISCO — When a major league team braces for a difficult summer, it’s natural for a fan base to turn its attention toward the farm system.
Prospects represent a glimmer of hope and serve as a reminder that while the present is sometimes bleak, the future is often bright. Through the first two months of the 2019 season, it’s been challenging for Giants fans to see the light.
The organization’s top two prospects, Joey Bart and Heliot Ramos, haven’t played since April due to injuries while a promising young pitcher, Logan Webb, was suspended 80 games after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.
