For Farhan Zaidi, the loss of Jung Hoo Lee to season-ending surgery was a disappointing blow. Lee's approach and potential as a leadoff hitter were valued by the Giants' president of baseball operations.
Zaidi acknowledged that Lee had been advised to be more aggressive at the plate, but the rookie's adjustment will have to be put on hold until 2025 due to the surgery.
Amidst the setback, Zaidi found some positivity in the performances of young outfielders like Heliot Ramos and Luis Matos, who have helped keep the Giants competitive in the absence of regular starters.
While Lee remains the long-term defensive choice for center field, Matos has impressed with his play, showing a determination to secure a starting role in the outfield, even if he transitions to a corner position in the future.
