If there is a strength in the Giants organization right now, it's young starting pitching both at the MLB level and upper minor leagues but with Blake Snell likely leaving via free agency, Logan Webb stands alone as the only true rellable frontline starter on the staff.

There is deep depth here, enough to consider trading from it to upgrade other positions. Very thin at the top though as Logan Webb is the only reliable established SP and his arm is starting to accumulate some serious mileage. Acquiring at least one more proven top end SP should be a priority for Buster this winter.
AAA:
Carson Whisenhunt LHP: 3-5, 5.42, 11.61 K/9, 4.56 BB/9, 134.1 IP.
Carson Seymour RHP: 7-10, 4.82, 8.84 K/9, 4.02 BB/9, 134.1 IP.
Carson Ragsdale RHP: 2-4, 5.03, 9.56 K/9, 4.36 BB/9, 53.2 IP.
John Bertrand LHP: 1-0, 1.80, 5.40 K/9, 4.50 BB/9, 10 IP.
More depth. Any of these 4 could make the MLB club at some point in 2025.
AA:
Nick Sinacola RHP: 5-2, 4.08, 68.1 IP, 7.77 K/9, 2.37 BB/9, 68.1 IP.

Wil Jensen RHP: 4-5, 3.43, 10.61 K/9, 2.89 BB/9, 84 IP.
My impression is everyone in this group has a relatively low ceiling.

Joe Whitman LHP: 2-3, 4.96, 9.23 K/9, 1.88 BB/9, 52.2 IP.
Dylan Carmouche LHP: 0-2, 5.34, 11.57 K/9, 2.67 BB/9, 30.1 IP.
Manuel Mercedes RHP: 4-9, 5.28, 6.91 K/9, 4.19 BB/9, 116 IP.
Cesar Perdomo LHP: 3-6, 4.00, 9.17 K/9, 4.00 BB/9, 54 IP.

Esmerlin Vinicio LHP: 1-4, 7.40, 8.14 K/9, 7.03 BB/9, 24.1 IP.
Mikell Manzano RHP: 1-0, 4.05, 10.80 K.9, 0.00 BB/9, 6.2 IP.
A somewhat disappointing season for Whitman. Mercedes is a classic sinker/groundball pitcher with low K rates who is subject to the BABIP gods. Perdomo has a below-average FB but good command of multiple pitches. Wynja is 6' 9" and lefties that tall don't grow on trees.
A:
Cale Lansville RHP: 3-4, 4.36, 8.35 K/9, 2.66 BB/9, 74.1 IP.
Josh Bostick RHP: 4-7, 4.70, 10.15 K/9, 3.69 BB/9, 107.1 IP.
Gerelmi Maldonado RHP: DNP
Ryan Vanderhei RHP: 2-3, 3.58, 8.84 K/9, 4.78 BB/9, 37.2 IP.
Ubert Mejias RHP: 4-7, 4.70, 6.24 K/9, 1.83 BB/9, 122.2 IP.
Lansville has had some big games in the AFL. Bostick has a MLB frame with inconsistent command. Hope to see Gerelmi on the comeback trail in 2025. Vanderhei has a projectable frame.
ACL: None
DSL:
Argenis Cayama RHP: 0-1, 2.21, 10.18 K/9, 3.98 BB/9, 20.1 IP.
Don't know much about him except this was his age 1 season and he got a mention in Baseball America.
Summary:
The Giants are well-stocked with young pitching in the upper levels of the organization but have concentrated heavily on position players in the last several drafts and international signing cycles so almost no serious pitching prospects in the rookie/short season leagues.
