Giants should ask Kim Ng questions that circle around one major theme

Kim Ng is about to interview for a general manager's job in Major League Baseball for the fifth time, which borders on the number of head coaching jobs Tony Dungy interviewed for before Tampa Bay finally saw the wisdom in hiring him. The San Francisco Giants are next on her list, and for the franchise's sake this had better be a more serious investigation of her qualifications than the others. Not because it's "edgy," or "politically correct," or "it'll get some buzz," but because she has been in the game long enough on the executive side of the sport to have accumulated the kind of knowledge that is worthwhile utilizing, and which the Giants need as they finally abandon World Series nostalgia for a brave new world.
