Giants' concession speech? / Cleveland sweeps, S.F. makes changes

Wow! How quickly the Giants went from geezer-ophiles to rookie-dominated.

For years, Giants minor league hitting prospects have languished in the minors or spent brief periods of time as the 25th man. As a result, they have been amongst the less desirable/easiest acquired farm players in the game.

Now, Todd Linden, three seasons in purgatory, and Lance Niekro are hot commodities.

If only I had the prognostigating ability to see this, I'd have never dealt Linden three years ago!
