Right. Just like the overwhelming majority of the top tier talent we have in our farm system that people somehow credit to Farhan.

If Luciano, Bart, and Ramos turn into studs that would be an impressive testament to those guys. Although, I do think a change was needed and I like what Farhan is doing.

They weren't added under his watch but how they develop under his watch will be pretty vital.

Everyone tested negative

I remember being told Angel Villalona was hitting bombs at 15

Sure. But thats not the function of a general manager/president of baesball ops.

Didn't he suffer like a career ending injury?

Definitely agree a change needed to be made. 1000%.

While they deserve credit for Ramos, Bart and Luciano, I'll give them that but it was also clear from the interviews Evans did on KNBR he didn't think much about having a decent farm system. he'd regularly say that he prioritize having a strong major league team over everything, which is obviously the goal but he regularly dismissed the farm system even losing picks on free agents like Samardzija. I think even after those 3 prospects get called up , Farhan keeps the farm system strong with depth to get called up or to be used as trade chips

He made it until July without getting hurt. Baby steps.

That's not happening.

People are crediting Farhan with the rebuilding of our farm system. Without the top talent in the farm that Sabean/Evans brought in, our farm system would still be near the bottom. Thats my point.
