He recorded 11 swinging strikes and 11 groundballs, his best in a game so far, and showed 2 variations of breaking balls that he was locating on both sides of the plate. Maybe a pitcher like Stratton who has good stuff & good command of his breaking pitches has a chance to move quickly through the Giants minor league system.<br /><br />LGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-57333623353338855542013-05-17T14:48:59.785-07:002013-05-17T14:48:59.785-07:00I have certainly noticed Strickland's numbers ...I have certainly noticed Strickland's numbers so far, and am glad he is doing it. However, he was an established AA guy with the Sox, so to see him dominate A+ is kinda meh in my book.<br /><br />They tried a similar approach with Main a couple years back, but he kinda blew up in SJ...calsnowskierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746266404646821133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-21486469654583708042013-05-17T12:37:18.932-07:002013-05-17T12:37:18.932-07:00As for SS's, I think Adrianza is still a prosp...As for SS's, I think Adrianza is still a prospect due to superior defensive tools and skills.

I thought he was a low round draft pick. Definitely not international FA. Could have been signed as an undrafted FA at some point.

I recall that you thought quite a lot of him early on, but an article I just browsed over mentioned that he's mostly a "defensive-minded" catcher.<br /><br />I also thought for a second that it was AA he was playing in, but it's a different story putting up those "nice" numbers at San Jose. <br /><br />And in addition to catcher, it really appears that SS has a whole slew of guys hitting real well in the system. Which of the players out of Jurica, etc. do you really see as prospects?RainBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725941337502884436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-55933078637901466622013-05-16T23:43:47.373-07:002013-05-16T23:43:47.373-07:00SS?
