Doug, why stop with the long time front office people? Go higher- the billionaire crowd who are Giants owners with zero baseball, or for that matter, entertainent industry experience.

What has always prevented the Giants from being the elite franchise they think they are is their ownership: Short term thinkers, terrified of empty seats, not willing to go deep with wholesale organizational change that starts with evaluation and development of talent. That requires an understanding of the game and money. Since Horace Stoneham the owership box has not been willing to make those investments and instead thought short term.
