Over the season we witnessed a vast array of moves by president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and some of those moves introduced the future of the team. Mike Yastrzemski was one of those moves and in addition to a historical series at Fenway Park, his .272/.334/.518 line with 21 home runs and 55 RBI show he was a bright spot even during the dim times.
But they weren't always dark.
An exhilarating 19-6 run in July was a spark during the season that had Giants remaining hopeful. And that hope remains with a glimpse into the future with promising outings from Mauricio Dubón, Logan Webb, Tyler Beede and Dereck Rodriguez.
