  1. The farm system's ranking went up to 18 after starting the season at 28. I know these rankings do not mean much, but I need something to feel good about.

    1. The problem is there’s a ton of very young Dominican prospects on it all of a sudden and those guys are almost all lottery tickets who could be off the list on a a year two due to poor performance. Only Level and Josuar seem like legit prospects.

  2. From a (former) Wade Meckler enthusiast, he is toast.
    Zero HRs in 248 PAs, his only hope would be CF and a not so great Lee is better, and they tried him some at 2B, but Schmitt all but has that nailed down.
    In a hitters' domain, Meck has fallen in August to .172/.273/.241 (SSS). Career-wise, he's been fairly good at getting on base and can steal 2nd, but the Giants need RBI guys more than they need OBP guys.
