BA has their Cal League Top 20 Prospects list up 4 SJ Giants made the list, but one of them was Zack Wheeler who, unfortunately, is in the Mets organization now.
# 3 Gary Brown, CF
#4 Wheeler, RHP
#11 Tommy Joseph, C
#17 Chris Dominguez, 3B
I would have put Brown at #2 ahead of Jedd Gyorko. I just think he's a much better all around player. Gyorko's power is inflated by playing in Lake Elsinore and more games in High Desert and Lancaster. Josh Levanthal sounds pretty high on Tommy Joseph. Says he definitely will stick at catcher and should hit at higher levels. Swing can still get long at times. I was a bit surprised to see
Dominguez on this list. Apparently he can field 3B well enough to stick at the position. Crazy power. Hembree was promoted about the same time as Dominguez. No discussion about him in the chat. Seems like he maybe should have made it, although BA doesn't really like minor league relievers. Apparently Jarrett Parker just missed the top 20.
Kind of an empty feeling seeing Wheeler's name at #4, but I supported the trade and stand by it.

hey doc
ReplyDeletewhat would you think about the giants offering kazmir a minor league contract and seeing if tidrow can work his magic on him
will only be 28 and very little risk
Sure, why not? I think Kazmir probably has some sort of chronic injury, but it's only a minor league deal. There's probably others like him out there who would have high reward potential for a low risk minor league contract.
