What was it Sally Field once said at the Oscars? Without looking it up: "You still like me! You really do!"
The Giants might want to say the same. Baseball America's John Manuel -- who has a thick Southern accent, which you would know if you listened to the BA podcasts -- ranked their farm system third in baseball despite the loss of two well-regarded pitchers and the potential lifelong incarceration of a top hitter.
Some people will react to the news this way: "Wow, that really says something about the job Brian Sabean has done to rebuild the farm system."
Some people will react this way: "Hell, four straight years of absolute crap teams makes it easy to stockpile talent."
Some (especially those named Boof) will react this way: "And just think if Sabean the f&^%^ing moron hadn't traded Alderson and Barnes, the system could've been number one. Now go away."
Which kind of person are you?
