  2. The Giants Way evolves...Aggressive Promotions

    Now if you have learned a skill at one level, up you go. Prove it at the next. This seems to be a system-wide trend from the DSL to AAA.

    I think this fits really well with the Giants draft position and farm system - No Top 50 talent, but lots of mid-level breakout potential talent. Too much potential talent wait around while their clock ticks and too much talent to stash on the 40 Man (see relief pitchers). Where do you fit all the mid-level talent? You don't. You aggressively promote to identify the players with breakout skills and sit on the rest. Slower developers will sit/repeat at level and fast movers, even with just one MLB skill, will be identified and moved up quickly. I think this fits with how the Giants are testing out pitchers as both starters and relievers from short season on up. Identify the MLB skill and move them up.

    Thoughts on this trend...

    1. I do think the Giants have become more proactive in managing their farm system over time. I think that trend accelerated when Bobby Evans became the GM.

  3. Very impressive put together by Beede. He just made the all-star game along with Arroyo (and Ryder Jones - fan vote).

    1. Didn't realize that Arroyo leads the league with 22 doubles. Leads me to believe that those will turn into HRs as he matures. Also, love the promotion and first outing for Rodolfo Martinez.

    2. What do you guys think about a comp of Arroyo to Manny Machado. Advanced hit tools, doubles power which is predicted to develop further, young ss to be pushed to 3rd. Thoughts?

    3. Machado has way more speed and power potential and general athleticism. Not even close.
