It\u2019s been a long wait under Farhan Zaidi\u2019s watch to get a moribund system to start pumping talent to the top again \u2014 too long in the view of many fans and even members of the front office itself. When Zaidi took over baseball operations in 2019, the farm system was thin and had very little upper level talent. Despite health challenges that have waylaid multiple 1st round picks since then, the system did start providing some internal support in 2023, as Gold Glove candidate Patrick Bailey was one of 12 prospects to make their major league debut for the club.<\/p>\n

The Giants showed particular success developing pitching talent, and now sits on an enviable stock of major league or near-major league ready arms that could be used as roster help or potential trade chips. With top prospects Kyle Harrison and Marco Luciano now poised to be part of the Opening Day major league roster, this should finally be the year that the system plays a major role in the club\u2019s success, and a new influx of hitting talent in the lower levels begins its journey upwards. It\u2019s not an upper tier system yet by any means, but at long last it\u2019s beginning to make an impact. (@rog61<\/a>)<\/p>\n
