Nice video on there too, if anyone is interested.<br /><br />It was noted that despite a good 2012 season, he was held back to repeat in 2013 at Augusta, but I have to think that the Giants wanted Kline to get his hands on him and work with him on certain things for 2013, and once he got that down, then promoted him. I don't think level for pitching is all that important, anyway, down in the lower minors, TINSTAAPP means that pitchers either know it or they don't, so he can get his work done at any level and not be developmentally handicapped by repeating a level, unlike a hitter. He's looking like he could make the majors sometime in 2014, but probably only if someone falters mid-season for some reason - injury, performance - and give the Giants an opening to bring him up. Looks like minors major restocking of bullpen will start in 2014 and rotation in 2015. obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-40564231120272357102013-10-21T16:08:03.226-07:002013-10-21T16:08:03.226-07:00Gillaspie also benefited from playing in a hittter...Gillaspie also benefited from playing in a hittters homepark, gaining 60 points in OPS, plus his defense was not good by any measure, and pretty bad by others. And after a very good first month, he wasn't as good after that, .233/.294/.372/.666 in the rest of the season. I see him performing much like Brian Buscher for the Twins when they got him via Rule 5 Draft from us, OK but not good by any measure, and he certainly wouldn't have been a starter with us. Good luck to him, maybe he can do enough to reach arbitration process. obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-84900860599442659562013-10-16T21:58:33.235-07:002013-10-16T21:58:33.235-07:00Galindo?

But Velez had a big league career, which is more than most can say. How high would you say Galindo's stock is up this year?

Hard business, this professional b-ball.<br /><br />Law's K/9 and K/BB are off the chart. 6'3, he doesn't throw as hard as Hembree or Hall, but he still throws pretty hard. He's holding serve in the AFL so far. The future of the Giants bullpen could, emphasis could, look like that murderer's row the Cards are trotting out there.<br /><br />Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.com
