I couldnt become more proud, Bob Quinn, former general manager from the Giants, Yankees and Reds, told USA TODAY Sports from his home in Scottsdale, Ariz. Just see that Yankee influence.

Giants GM Brian Sabean, the previous Yankees scouting director, was Quinns first hire. Dick Tidrow, v . p . of player personnel, was a former scout and pitcher for that Yankees. Dave Righetti, the pitching coach, is a former Yankees star. Hitting coaches Hensley Muelens and Joe Lefebvre and first-base coach Roberto Kelly are former Yankees. So is advance scout Steve Balboni.

If you pin Brian down, Quinn said, hell tell you the Yankee way aint everything bad. Brian is old school. Thats the way we did things in Ny. Hes taking the same motto we used in New York. SDSD Su'a Cravens Jersey . Scout, draft, sign and develop.

It may have been the New York dictum, however the Giants have perfected it. The Giants legacy is going to be forever remembered, with a flair of recent York style.

Occasionally, the particular Yankees havechangedthat last D. Within the Bronx, its been more scout, draft, sign and deal (for any proven player), or delay (in favor of a veteran), or disable (via a series ofprospect injuries). The concept that the Yankees never develop is false,andtheir pro scouting department is usually overlooked, however the Giants development and scouting stand out Shawn Lauvao Jersey since the Giantsstar players are almost all homegrown.

The Giants have purchased talent (Barry Zito, Melky Cabrera) and traded for proven players (Hunter Pence this year, Carlos Beltran this past year) but theyve used those methods to build around a homegrown core of Buster Posey, Matt Cain, Pablo Sandoval and Madison Bumgarner.

The Yankees happen to be unwilling or not able to develop a new core to follow in the footsteps of Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. Apart from Robinson Cano, the homegrown Yankees have been somewhat secondary. Theyve been middle-of-the-rotation starters(Phil Hughes and Ivan Nova), late-inning setup men (Dave Robertson and Joba Chamberlain) or bottom-of-the-order hitters who never appear to have a complete vote of confidence (Brett Gardner, Greg Toler Jersey MelkyCabrera, Eduardo Nunez).

Draft position has certainly helped the Giants the Yankees never had a shot at guys like Lincecum, Bumgarner or Posey however the Giantsalso happen to be more prepared to cope with the developmentgrowing pains, while the Yankees win-at-all-costsapproach makes that path difficult to follow, even if it was the Yankees who came up with the model.
