On the first day of his first spring in charge of the Giants, manager Gabe Kapler spent a good amount of time talking to reporters about top prospect Joey Bart. The two had met over the offseason and Kapler was excited to watch Bart develop with a month in big league camp.
For an organization that hasn't made an offseason splash the last couple of years, Bart represents quite a bit. He is the player fans are most excited to see whenever baseball resumes, the one who gets the most attention every time the Giants take the field for drills, and the leader of a generation of good prospects that's storming towards Oracle Park.
