For the first time in a while, the San Francisco Giants farm system has some eye-catching players. Every Wednesday this season, we will go over these prospects with an update on their progress to the big leagues.

The San Francisco Giants front office knows a potential rebuild is in the near future.

Ranked near the bottom five according to Bleacher Report’s 2019 farm system rankings, this season looks like a prime opportunity for the big league club to swap veterans for prospects.

Team president Farhan Zaidi was brought in to do just that. In the first two weeks, we have already seen that he is not afraid to give rookies a chance to prove themselves, and he has been known to put top prospects on the fast track.

The Giants currently have a deep pitching staff, but lack offense. While there is hope in the system, they may still be a year or two away from contention.

Throughout the season each week, we will be taking a closer look at the team’s top prospects and highlighting their performances.
