I definitely hope Jurica can actually produce. We do not need another AAAA potential SS in the system. We need a guy who will seriously compete with Crawford and Adrianza so one of these guys may actually become something...
ReplyDeleteDoc, thanks for doing these each day(night). I appreciate the consistent effort.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on Jurica. That draft pick appeared to be a big reach, although he certainly had great looking college numbers. The slow start is alarming but way too soon to write him off. He could catch fire now and end up with pretty good numbers by the end of the summer. Hopefully this is a start.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to post something about how I wonder if Peguero was hitting like this at draft time whether the Giants might have taken someone besides Gary Brown. They're games are very similar and the Giants probably don't need two of those on the MLB team at once. On the other hand, it's much better to have competition for these positions than just one option that ends up not panning out.
Yes, thanks DrB, hope you are feeling better today, migraines are not fun at all (wife gets it; just got it the other day, she finds it helps to take Excedrin Migraine immediately upon onset)
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jurica is another reach, like Culberson was. Good to see him start producing, maybe the pressure got to him initially.
I still think they would have gotten Gary Brown. Legit lead-off guy is the skill they have been searching forever for. They acquired Hamilton and Durham, and drafted a lot of speedsters along the way. Peguero is nice, but as you know, you never know at which level a prospect might stall out at. So it would be good to have two (or more, Jarrett Parker is another similar, but with more power). And just generally, Sabean has been looking for speed forever, and Brown has that in spades plus look like he can be a legit hitter in majors.
And, as you noted, at worse, you have a couple of options fighting it out, pushing each other, and if multiple develops, there is always LF and RF, and batting second and third/eighth.
Plus, I think a college bat was the way to go with the pick because we need help sooner than later, and the other options that were touted where we picked - Gyorko, Brentz, Cox - I don't think any of them were touted defensively, whereas Brown got talk about gold glove.
You probably already know this, but Baggarly briefly discussed some Salem-Keizer prospects on his blog: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/extrabaggs/2010/07/22/postgame-notes-no-mound-trips-for-mattingly-proposed-taiwan-opener-for-giants-in-2011-giants-talking-to-nats-about-dunn-and-willingham-more-on-those-cool-rules-pronto-salem-keizer-notes/
The way Belt is continuing to hit, he could be the offensive acquisition that everyone is clamoring for.
Think Ford getting his secret out finally relaxed him and allowed him to start hitting again? Any lawyers out there know what type of punishment he might get?
Still, Gyorko is knocking the cover off the ball, so there is some tinge of regret seeping in, at least until Brown signs, I wonder when that is going to happen. BA thinks that with Boras at the wheel, it will be a last minute process.
ReplyDeleteI think Brown will cost himself more piddling over a few $100K. The Giants need a legit lead-off soon, as Torres is 32 and given his history, you never know when he'll turn into a pumpkin. If he had signed and started out on fire like Gyorko, he could be looking at joining the majors by mid-2011 or start of 2012. This costs him a lot of evaluation time, and probably pushes him out to 2012-2013 timeframe now, unless he hits like Belt has been hitting.
