I know they play sillyball up in Lancaster, but yikes, Matt Cain!  And LOL Craig Whitaker(our Roger Craig Whitaker?) off Baggs twitter feed via Joe Ritzo:  A rehab start in Lancaster is like driver's ed on the 405.  Nothing good is going to come of it."

Low A  Delmarva Shorebirds blanked the Augusta Greenjackets 3-0(game shortened to 7.5 innings due to rain):

Conner Kaden RHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.37.

I believe this is the 4'th consecutive game the GJ's have been shut out.

Is Bryan Reynolds the 5 tool stud CF we've all been waiting for lo these many years?  He's sure looking like it so far, but the NWL.

  2. Hey DrB, just wanted to make a quick comment on the new S-K outfield. Heath Quinn was THE guy I really wanted (I know you left positive comments on him leading up to the draft too), he seems like a [smaller] Mac Williamson type. I was very surprised to see Reynolds fall to the Giants, though not surprised at all to see them jump on him!

    Am I alone in thinking Reynolds fits the mold of Gary Brown without the funky batting mechanics (and hopefully stubbornness)? Maybe he doesn't have Brown's speed, and I know GB was lauded for his defensive abilities... but I just have this feeling that Reynolds could make for a solid all-around MLB CF. Nothing flashy, maybe not a standout in any one area, but a guy who can keep his average around .270 with enough power to be a regular in the lineup. If his CF defense stands the test of time, he could absolutely be the guy the Giants have been searching for. Dreaming on a homegrown CF sure is a good feeling...

    1. I see Reynolds as being a more well rounded prospect than Brown. Brown probably had more speed, but Reynolds is bigger, switch-hits, seems to have more raw power. I could see him developing into a .270 BA with 20 HR's and 15 SB which if he can handle CF on defense would be a very nice package. Really, really like the trio of OF's the Giants drafted in the first 10 rounds, Reynolds, Quinn and Brusa.

    2. I just think Reynolds will hit the ball with way more authority than Gary Brown ever did.

    1. I think you can acknowledge the difficulty of pitching in Lancaster and still be concerned about Cainer.
