This year marks the third year that we’ve put together a site prospect ranking. (You can find the previous rankings here: 2011 – 2012.) The way it works is that we each come up with a ranking, share lists, and then hash out a final ranking. Chris Martinez and I composed this year’s list. Today’s ranking focuses on the #15… Read more →
(After a brief break from posting, I’m back and with more Sergio Romo slider porn.) One of my favorite pastimes is talking about Sergio Romo. I’m constantly amazed by the slider; the command; the everything. He’s easily one of my favorite Giants and when I sat down today to run though some numbers, I was a little surprised at what… Read more →
Hello, baseball. I see you over there. Hiding behind the clothes dryer. Making little whooping noises. The Giants have recently — over the past month or so — made a bunch of little itty-bitty moves that I’ve yet to comment on. This being the slowest time of the year for baseball news, I figured that I would round up a… Read more →
All stats are from the period between December 23 and January 1. Happy New Year, all! Thanks for sticking with us for another year. I delayed the final major Winter Leagues Digest past the new year because the final day of the Puerto Rican and Venezuelan leagues landed on Monday plus I figured you’d all have something better to do… Read more →
All stats are from the period between December 17 to 22. It’s the final weeks of the winter leagues. The Dominican League ended Saturday, so all the notes from the DR will have the players’ final statistical lines. The Venezuelan and Puerto Rican leagues end December 30. Here is the final Dominican Leagues report for 2012. Name Position League Team… Read more →
All stats are from the period between December 9 and 16. The Giants signed a few minor league free agents in the last month or so and a few of them have turned up in the winter leagues. Also, I found Gregor Blanco playing in the Venezuelan league so he’s been added to the updates. Let’s get started with the… Read more →
All stats are from the period between December 3 and 8. This week’s update includes World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval’s winter debut, Hector Sanchez being off the chain, few precious details about the guys in the lesser known Colombian and Nicaraguan leagues, and a neat little note about an upcoming All-Star Game. Let’s get into it with notes from the… Read more →
All stats are from the period between November 25 through December 2. With the Arizona Fall League over, it’s all about the Caribbean Leagues (and the Australian Baseball League, I guess). A few new and old faces have turned up for the Giants in the Dominican and Venezuelan Leagues and I was finally able to get some intel on the… Read more →
All stats are from the period between November 11 and 24. The Arizona Fall League ended last week and a few other Giants, new and established, joined the fray in the Caribbean leagues. The AFL section includes a final wrap of the stats for each player. In the Dominican League, a pair of minor league journeymen got their start in… Read more →
This is the equivalent of finding a molded, fuzzy chicken McNugget in the back seat of your car after you’ve become trapped in a snow storm. Sweet, nourishing food. Baseball News(tm) is mighty sparse these days. We’ll take what we can get. Instant reactions to each player: Nick Noonan, SS – Drafted in the 1st round (32nd overall) of the… Read more →
