Giants 2017 Depth Charts: Starting Pitching(Lower Minors)

LOW A:

Cory Taylor, RHP, 23 yo- 11-6, 2.72, 119 IP, 34 BB, 121 K, GO/AO= 1.69(2 levels).  First full pro season.  Results would be more impressive at a higher level.  Got a few late starts in San Jose with mixed results.

Michael Connolly, RHP, 25 yo- 11-7, 3.05, 135.2 IP, 31 BB, 107 K, GO/AO= 1.35.  Veteran minor leaguer trying to find some traction.  This may get him to the next level.

Jake McCasland, RHP, 25 yo- 8-5, 1.65, 109.1 IP, 24 BB, 107 K, GO/AO= 1.18.  Another veteran trying to find traction.

Dominic Mazza, LHP, 22 yo- 8-3, 3.93, 84.2 IP, 16 BB, 79 K, GO/AO= 1.21.  Lefty out of UCSB, first full pro season.

Heath Slatton, RHP, 23 yo- 2-4, 2.37, 49.1 IP, 23 BB, 44 K, GO/AO= 1.15.  Reliever most of the season with a few Saves.  Got 5 starts at the end of the season allowing just 1 ER in 20.1 IP with 8 BB's and 17 K's.  Breakout candidate for 2017.

Matt Solter, RHP, 24 yo- 4-6, 6.45, 68.1 IP, 30 BB, 60 K, GO/AO= 1.20.  Minor league FA signing.  Got knocked around pretty good.  Will he be back?

Grant Watson, LHP, 23 yo- 3-7, 4.62, 78 IP, 18 BB, 68 K.  Definition of a polished lefty.  Peripherals better than his ERA.

Logan Webb, RHP, 20 yo- 2-3, 6.21, 42 IP, 12 BB, 30 K's, GO/AO= 1.49.  Last pitched 5/31.  TJ?  Age gives him plenty of time to recover.

SHORT SEASON:

Melvin Adon, RHP, 23 yo- 5-5, 5.48, 67 IP, 34 BB, 55 K, GO/AO= 1.52.  Adon is getting plenty of national buzz for his mid-high 90's FB.  He's going to have to get that bad boy under control and move fast to be a legit prospect.

Victor Concepcion, RHP, 20 yo- 4-7, 6.40, 57.2 IP, 24 BB, 46 K.  Skipped Arizona after 2 seasons in the DSL and paid the price.

Mac Marshall, LHP, 21 yo- 1-6, 4.73, 51.1 IP, 48 BB, 54 K.  Name is well known in prospect watching circles.  Has a wild hair up his nose that needs to be tamed.

Raffi Vizcaino, RHP, 21 yo- 0-4, 4.60, 47 IP, 23 BB, 43 K.  Got a late promo to Augusta and was noted to have a FB up to 96 MPH.

Matt Krook, LHP, 22 yo- 1-3, 6.16, 35 IP, 33 BB, 39 K, GO/AO= 3.77.  Highest drafted pitcher by the Giants in 2016 draft.  Another lefty with a serious wild hair up his nose. Can it be tamed?

Garrett Williams, LHP, 22 yo- 1-2, 5.68, 25.1 IP, 14 BB, 22 K, GO/AO= 1.60.  Another well known name in prospect watching circles.  Another lefty with a wild hair up his nose.  Giants seem to have a thing for them.

Hengerber Medina, RHP, 23 yo- 2-3, 4.43, 44.2, 18 BB, 37 K.  Converted SS trying to get some traction as a pitcher.  Held his own as a starter.  Struck out 17 batters in 9.1 IP in  late callup to SJ.

ROOKIE AZL:

DJ Myers, RHP, 22 yo- 3-2, 1.70, 58.1 IP, 5 BB, 52 K, GO/AO= 1.50.  Pitched 1 scoreless inning for Sacramento late.  Jumbo body. Top performing pitching draftee, but at a low level.

Caleb Baragar, LHP, 23 yo- 5-2, 2.28, 55.1 IP, 16 BB, 50 K.  College lefty.  Nice numbers but at a low level. Allowed 3 ER in 6.2 IP in 2 late appearances for SJ.

Alex Bostic, LHP, 22 yo- 2-4, 5.59, 46.2 IP, 27 BB, 39 K.  Another college lefty with a bit of a wild hair.  Gave up 4 ER in 5.2 IP, in 2 late appearances with SJ.

Sandro Cabrera, LHP, 21 yo- 2-2, 2.81, 41.2 IP, 14 BB, 38 K.  Pitched mostly in relief, but I think the Giants will try to develop him as a SP.  Pitched 1 inning for Augusta late and struck out the side.

Stephen Woods, RHP, 22 yo- 0-2, 2.67, 27 IP, 17 BB, 25 K, GO/AO= 1.59.  Got a couple of late starts with S-K.  Allowed 5 ER, 5 BB and struck out 12 in 8 IP.

DSL:

Johan Herrera, RHP, 18 yo- 4-4, 2.09, 77.2 IP, 18 BB, 50 K, GO/AO= 1.59.  Smallish righty with nice results but low K rate.

Norwith Gudino, RHP, 21 yo- 3-3, 2.84, 50.2 IP, 13 BB, 40 K.  Very old for the league and 2016 was a repeat of the level.

Miguel Figueroa, RHP, 19 yo- 5-0, 3.02, 47.2 IP, 14 BB, 28 K's.  Very low K rate.

Aneudy Acosta, RHP, 21 yo- 3-3, 3.99, 47.1 IP, 19 BB, 46 K, GO/AO= 1.27.  Old for the level.

Orleny Quiroz, LHP, 23 yo- 2-5, 2.18, 45.1 IP, 22 BB, 50 K, GO/AO= 2.18.  Very old for the level, but first pro experience and nice size for a lefty.

Jerson Severin, RHP, 18 yo- 0-4, 3.15, 34.1 IP, 13 BB, 13 K's.  Very low K rate.

Jose Marte, RHP, 21 yo- 1-1, 1.89, 19 IP, 10 BB, 18 K, GO/AO= 2.36.  Marte is apparently in Arizona for instructional league and caught the eye of Eric Longenhagen of Fangraphs.
