SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- One of the brightest prospects in Giants camp this spring is a .237 hitter over seven minor league seasons. He'll advance to the Triple-A level for the first time. And he's 43 years old.
The Giants think the world of Jose Alguacil, which is why they are promoting him to manage their top farm club in Sacramento."He's really been a constant presence in our system," Giants G.M. Bobby Evans said of Alguacil, a former farmhand from Venezuela who spent eight seasons as a roving infield coach before being appointed to run the club at Double-A Richmond last year.
