This is not comforting when you consider that the 2018 arrivals listed include:
- Steven Duggar
- Tyler Beede
- Chris Shaw
- Andrew Suarez
- D.J. Snelten
- Austin Slater
- Tyler Herb
- Reyes Moronta
- Miguel Gomez
We've seen many of these guy perform already. Any hope for the big league team's future from this list? BTW: FanGraphs ranks none of the above a Top 100 prospect among all major league teams.
The 2019 arrivals include:
- Garrett Williams (a seventh rounder)
- Aramis Garcia
- C.J. Hinojosa (an 11th rounder)
BTW: FanGraphs doesn't rate the Giants badly in term of quantity. Based on the table below, you would expect to have 24.5 prospects make the list, the Giant have 22.
In term of relative quality, which I look at as the average position on the board, the Giants grade out slightly below average here as well.

This means that the way out of this problem is pretty much the way we got in, which is allocation of free-agent dollars and trades. So the same mind-set re: roster construction that gave you Samardzija, Cueto, Span etc. have to pull a couple of more rabbits out of their hat. That or more trades.
The answer does not appear to be in the farm system anywhere before 2023.
