Jonah Arenado wins the team MVP award for the SJ Giants, probably mostly because he was there all season, but he did have a fine season, especially with the power numbers.

Well that sucks that the minor league season is over. I really enjoyed reading your blog everyday about the performances and observations in the farm system. I wish I had known about it at the beginning of the season. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and commenting. Stick around. The minors talk does not stop when the season ends. We do reviews of the season, the draft and the top 50 prospects. Then, sometime after the Winter Meetings, we roll out next year's top 50 prospects.
DeleteNow that's what I'm talking about.
DeleteThanks again for your blog, which is always interesting and informative, and and all the hard work.
ReplyDeleteNow that the minor league season is done, I'm afraid you're stuck with the actual major league team -- which is a little depressing right now. Chin up!
Yeah, Down on the Farm is always a pick-me-up after another tough loss by the Giants.
DeleteThank you for doing Down on the Farm, it is part of my morning ritual during the summer.
