It's So Ridiculous That It's True

Headline on MLB.com: Giants developing big league talent
Subhead: Fresno alum Giese most recent to make Major Leagues

The story goes on to say how Giese's being in the majors illustrates the Giants' commitment to developing talent. Problems:

1) The Giants outrighted him to Fresno in October and he subsequently opted for free agency (or was let go -- I can't find a specific transaction)
2) He signed as a free agent with the New York Yankees in January
3) He's 31
4) He's pitched 16.7 innings in the bigs

Wait ... I guess this actually is a great illustration of the Giants farm system.
