GIANTS NOTEBOOK / If team keeps sliding, expect to see youth
When I read that title, I laughed. There is no youth on the Giants!
Then I recalled the consensus opinion regarding the Yankees farm system prior to 2005, and I paused.
There will be a major league, Rotisserie-valuable player or two that will emerge when the Giants begin to focus on players born in the 1980s.

i think the name you'll want to remember is Tim Lincecum, their 1st round draft pick this year (#10 overall). big time K numbers (he's got 21 Ks in 10.1 IP since becoming a pro after 199 Ks in 125 IP at Washington this year) and in that system, he'll probably be moved aggressively which means he could be the NLs version of Verlander in 2008, especially if he can continue to cut his walks down.
