2015 Top Prospects

Disco refers to a band called Panic At The Disco. I agree it's dumb, we can do better. Maybe Joey Bats? I know that's Jose Bautista's nick but we don't post about him.

Duffman is also >>>>>> than Skeeter. tzill can keep using Skeeter in his BoB-like way, the rest of us will use the correct nick.

By the way, I assume BoB is either banned or dead, anyone know which?

Not banned, and not dead. He made a long-assed post on the entertainment forum earlier today.

Rumors that EA is on his way to Miami.

Not good news for sHits.

McGIDP can stay in Florida for all I care.

Love to get a closer look at Jones in Augusta, he is tearing it up and should move up to San Jose.

Why not give Lollis a try in the OF?

What would you think of the Giants looking at Kirk Nieuwenhuis? Playing with the Mutts' AAA team. He's from APU, and seems a good hitter and fielder.

Osich trying to close out the Sacto game, just gave up a run to make it 14-7 in the 9th.

 

[Mays-Fan]

Meanwhile, the DBacks rally to whip the Doggies, 10-6.

We are now even in the loss column, and 1/2 game back.

tzill = BoB ?

 

[calsnowskier]

tzill = BoB ?

Well, we are all just tz-alts, so, yes.

 

[tzill]

Disco = Panik? Why?

Skeeter = Duffy? Why?

Panic at the Disco

Duffman has a 22 pound cat named Skeeter.

 

[tzill]

tzill = BoB ?

You are all my alts, or did you forget?

Sacto shuts out SLC. Turley goes six, Cody Hall goes the last three. Gary Brown hitting for SLC, 0-4 hitting .204. Lollis 2-3 and up to .364

Richmond shut out by Harrisburg. Beede 7.0 4 1 1 3 5 4.15. Hunter Cole has jumped from Augusta to San Jose and now with Richmond and is hitting .556. He was a 26th round pick in 2014 out of Georgia.

San Jose beat Stockton 6-3. Christian Arroyo went 5-5 with two doubles to raise his average to .321. Villalona went 3-5 to move up to .250. Tommy Hanson pitched 5 one run innings for the win.

Augusta shut out Savannah, 6-0. Fargas went 0-5. Samuel Coonrod pitched 6 shutout innings. Catcher Aramis Garcia hit his 8th HR.

S-K lost 9-7, but starting pitcher Nolan Riggs pitched 5.2 shutout innings before the onslaught.

AZL Giants shut out the Reds, 4-0. Jalen Miller (3rd round 2015) is hitting .381. Luis Pino 5 shutout innings in relief.

DSL Giants won, 8-1, and are now 20-7. Robinson Medrano hitting .359. Starter Sandro Cabrera pitched 6 shutout innings.

Three shutouts today by the baby Giants.

The Giants have so many break-outs this year, each is getting lost in the noise. It is getting hard to keep track all the legit prospects that are developing.

We may just be scratching the surface of this run, fellas.

Hunter Cole is getting promoted VERY aggressively. What I liked most about Beede's line: 12 groundouts, 1 flyout, 5 strikeouts.

 

[calsnowskier]

Legit breakouts who have not yet graduated...

Kelby Tomlinson Minor League Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com
Hunter Cole Minor League Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com
Johneshwy Fargas Minor League Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com
Joe Biagini Minor League Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com
Tyler Beede Minor League Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com
Keury Mella Minor League Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com

And these are just some of the highlights. Many others have stepped out of obscurity and are fully on radars now, and would likely be considered breakouts in other, more normally dull years.

 

[SFGRTB]

It may not be showing in the numbers [yet], but I'm hearing very positive things about Chris Shaw. Very healthy, sweet swing. His power will play anywhere, even AT&T.

Related to the UCLA stud on Pitt?

Which would also make him Brandon Crawford's brother-in-law. But no, they are not related.

Hunter Cole (another Hunter for the Giants), began as a 2b, but committed 9 errors in 25 games. He switched to OF and has committed 4 errors in 54 games.

Gerrit Cole (Pirates) was born in SoCal, Hunter Cole born in Georgia.

[SFGRTB]

Obviously not a good line. I don't he's been converted to the bullpen yet though. He got so little work his last outing, they probably used today (his normal bullpen day) to get him some extra pitches.

That said, I think he's destined for the Pen. I think the Giants will give him another year though. With Beede's rise, Mella's rise, and Mejia's return, they can afford to be patient.
