SAN FRANCISCO -- Mac Williamson finds himself in a familiar position. He is again getting hot at Triple-A, showing the kind of power that the big league team could use, but there are a couple of wrinkles this time around.
First and foremost, the Giants are now run by an executive, Farhan Zaidi, who designated Williamson for assignment a month ago. That led to the second wrinkle, the fact that Williamson is no longer on the 40-man roster and the team would have to clear a spot to take another look at him.
That's not to say it won't happen.
