The San Francisco Giants have managed to completely rebuild their minor-league system in a matter of a few short years after residing at the bottom of baseball’s farm systems for far too long.
That’s a credit to president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, the rest of the front office, and the entire scouting department for taking what was arguably baseball’s worst farm system and turning it into one of the better ones in the MLB.
Earlier on Thursday, the MLB released its annual ranking of the top 30 prospects for each organization. In recent years, this has solely served as an annual reminder of the lack of depth in the Giants’ minors.
