  1. Slater has played the last 2 games (rehab), 2-6. If called up, he's within 30 ABs of losing his rookie status.
    Is that good or bad?

    1. Neither. It's an arbitrary cutoff created by our obsession with ranking things. If he "graduates" it just makes the 2018 Giants top 20 or top 30 prospect list look weaker than it really is.

  2. Nice article on Derek Law: "How Giants’ Derek Law rediscovered himself in minors"

    Other interesting stuff in there as well. Like they may be shutting down Melancon for surgery.
