Susac, Williamson, and Escobar probably pushing their way into Top 10. While only Agosta and Hembree are down and close to 10th among the Top 10. obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-4893109000659428142013-07-08T22:33:14.103-07:002013-07-08T22:33:14.103-07:00I did not rank Angel V due to uncertainty about hi...I did not rank Angel V due to uncertainty about his immigration status and extremely low level of competition last season in the DSL.

Should have guessed since the Giants drafted him fairly high and they do seem to know their pitching.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-64391221195801001702013-07-08T15:10:43.926-07:002013-07-08T15:10:43.926-07:00Yup, Dan Burkhart retired this March.

Not much help coming from the guys in AAA, some ups and downs from the hitters in Richmond, but the SJ rotation and bullpen have really impressed me. Quite the hype coming into the season, but I wouldn't say any of them have really disappointed. Looking forward to Crick in AA! Also, definitely some babies to look out for now with Cabrera, Javier, McCall, Arroyo, Ryder Jones. <br /><br />Side note: I have been working on a Mid Season top Prospects list on my blog the past few weeks. Down to the top 15 now (from 40)... Would greatly appreciate any looks and/or feedback. I'm sure I've missed a few.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-22913986979700239862013-07-08T12:01:22.442-07:002013-07-08T12:01:22.442-07:00Oops, my bad had mistaken Hembree's AAA number...Oops, my bad had mistaken Hembree's AAA numbers from last year to his AA ones.

Looking at the list I would mention Cody Hall (hes been more consistent than Hembree was at these levels).<br /><br />Am pretty excited about Susac, Crick, Blackburn and Escobar (have to see Williamson hit AA pitching), the other guys look iffy to me. Might reach majors but as role players. <br /><br />Drb, who are your top 10 right now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
