Of the legacy names from S.F.’s ring-bearing years last decade, only a couple remain.
In a bent way, this Giants season is going to prove terribly useful. It may not be the most fun the franchise or its fans have ever had, and it won’t ring the bell the way 107 wins did last year. But it does bring the front office and the C-suites face-to-face with a tough truth — and the sooner the better.
Injuries happen. But more injuries happen, generally speaking, with an older roster than a younger one. Giants GM Farhan Zaidi knew he had an older roster when the season began. He needs a younger one now. Crawford is 35, Belt 34. Evan Longoria, the Giants’ 36-year-old third baseman, missed six weeks with ligament damage in his finger to begin the season, then pulled an oblique in early July. Second baseman Tommy La Stella, 33, has appeared in barely a third of the team’s games.So what can Zaidi do? Normally, with a team that’s in contention for the playoffs , the immediate move is standing right in front of you: the trade deadline.
But it gets difficult, doesn’t it? Posey’s decision to stop playing after last season caught the front office a little flat-footed, but he went out on a high note — and, so significant to the franchise, he retired having never played for any team but the Giants. It’s a chapter written.
