If nothing else, Farhan Zaidi has shown a willingness to rummage through the scrapheap since taking over as team president of the San Francisco Giants.
It’s a strategy that paid dividends during his time in the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he’s already had some success in that department during his time with the Giants. Reliever Sam Dyson, slugger Tyler Austin and red-hot Alex Dickerson were all plucked from the cast-off pile.
Don’t expect the roster shuffling to stop anytime soon, and there’s no reason not to keep searching for that diamond in the rough during what amounts to a lost season.
