Farhan Zaidi is the new president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants, and for the first time since Julian Tavarez was supposed to lock down the late innings, the organization will be run in a completely different fashion. It’s exciting, even if the uncertainty is making me nauseous at the same time.
The first order of business is to condescendingly snort at the outdated takes about how the Giants are going to start using stats now. They’ve been using stats for years. The Giants won World Series championships because of stats, and during their run of success, their scouting department actually shrunk.
