As a “Prez of Baseball Ops,” Farhan Zaidi is the epitome of a cold-hearted “ Next man up!” Or, “Players are part of the equipment.” mentality…hardly “the stuff” the Giants organization has traditionally been made of.
In college (‘70’s) we’d say “Why is this man teaching?” In the ‘80’s, comedian Sam Kinison would say, “How’d you GET this %#$&-ing job?!”
A sad example of misguided exuberance…(Farhan, this won’t be the romantic movie script you’d hoped for…you’ll be the “Jeff Carson” patsy (from “Draft Day”), of the MLB! (SMH…)
Seems to me that J.D.'s agent didn't properly guage his client's true worth prior to arbitration. If his agent had considered all factors, including that his client is thus far a marginal big league regular and that the Giants were actively looking for a more established player to play 3B, maybe he could have presented the Giants with a number they'd have been willing to guarantee.
Poor millionaire (who played at EG with my son).
Shuda hired a better agent…
