I, the other Chris, have been notoriously absent this season. Once again, school is killing me. The good news is I have a link to the brief piece I did on Joe Panik over at MiLB.com: http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120501&content_id=30117986&vkey=news_l110&fext=.jsp&sid=l110

The better news is I have begun interviews with key Giants prospects in San Jose and will be posting them regularly over here starting next week. Third baseman Adam Duvall and relief pitcher Hector Correa are on the slate. Andrew Susac was before he went on the DL on Monday, but rest assured I will speak with him as soon as I can. I also plan on doing a longer, in-depth interview with Panik later in the year for our humble blog.

The best news is the minor league/prospect mailbag is coming back at the end of the month! You can start compiling your queries now and I will answer them all in one megapost around Memorial Day (God and final exams willing). From then on, the mailbag will be a weekly feature throughout the summer. Send your questions to me via email (chelmrtz at gmail dot com), Twitter (chelmrtz), or comments on this and other posts on the blog.

Gracias, mis amigos.
