A couple of days after the Giants introduced Gabe Kapler as their manager, a member of the organization's player development staff received a surprising request. Kapler wanted a statistical breakdown of Joe McCarthy, an outfielder who came over from the Rays in a small move minutes before the trade deadline and hit just .165 in Triple-A for the Giants. Five weeks ago, on the day he was hired and went through a strange 58-minute press conference, Kapler said he planned to go on a "listening tour" and soak up as much knowledge about his new organization as he could.
