-The Giants top 2 draft picks continue to shine.
-Diego Rincones may be breaking out.  He is an 18 yo graduate of the DSL from Venezuela. He hit .244 last season, but with a .346 OBP.  He had 29 BB against 32 K in 201 AB.  Over his last for 4 games in the AZL, he's gone 12 for 17 and raised his BA from a low of .190 on 7/4 to his current .405.
-Looks like they are stretching Marciano out.  Look for him to move up to S-K before the season is over.
