Read an article today about how Farhan is saying this is likely a big year for the kids to play.
He also said in the article that, that is what the fans want.
Seriously? He's just figuring that out now?
This guy should run for office. From what I'm seeing he simply whetted a finger and stuck it in the air to see which way the wind was blowing.
IF what he's saying is true, then why...
keep Conforto? pursue Chapman? sign Soler? keep Yaz?
I'm NOT saying signing Soler was bad. I personally wouldn't have done it, but I understand the motivation.
I'm NOT saying we should have dumped Yaz. We need veterans sprinkled among the kids.
I AM saying keeping Conforto is/was unwise. IF he wants to play the kids and let them sink or swim, as he said in today's article, DO IT. Stop keeping another DH type of guy.
I AM saying pursuit of Chapman is asinine. We have JD, and Schmitt and Flores. Chapman's .230ish bat is not needed. Crikee! We can get that nonsense from JD!
Bottom line; Farhan says one thing and then does another.
When we cut KAPLER loose Farhan should have been on the same bus out of town.

If you've ever listened to Zaidi, he follows certain patterns. He never says anything revealing about his plans. He sounds like a used car salesman. HIs main objective is not about winning but keeping the books balanced. After five years of Zaidi, whatever he says or does should not surprise you.

It just ticks me off and I need to vent to other Giant fans who understand what in inept moron he really is.
But if that's what ownership wants; to balance the books and not win, then they've got their man.
And the rest of us... well... we all get a royal enema.

FZ is very careful not to say anything or to speak in generalities so as not to be caught in a lie later on. You are correct in that he is doing a good job for the ownership group by keeping the books balanced but it would be a less expensive and more sustainable strategy to use players from within the system and not use players like Conforto, Joc, Chapman, Bellinger, etc as the featured players. As the philosopher says "That trick never works!"
