GM Tries Out Ford | Diamondbacks 5, Giants 2

The only guarantees in life are death, taxes, and the Giants adding to their roster. Welcome, Ford Proctor.

Mr. Proctor is notable only in what he represents. He's the 65th player to join the Giants roster this year, a franchise record.

Roster churn has been a constant of the Farhan Zaidi era, but never more so than this season. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Last year the Giants used 55 players.

But this year has been a never-ending quest to hit on minimum-salary lottery tickets. Probably better to invest in a sure thing, even if it costs $300 million.
