But I think people understand I value defense far higher than most and he's the best defensive 1B in the game and is 3rd in offensive production (1B) this year so it's not like I'm voting for a scrub.MosesZDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702323080585738748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-46670082522538425802018-07-03T13:41:10.934-07:002018-07-03T13:41:10.934-07:00Hopefully the Giants farm system will be ranked a ...Hopefully the Giants farm system will be ranked a few steps higher this off season thanks to these international signings and recent MLB draft picks. Looks promising. Got tired of hearing how bad their farm system was during their failed Stanton pursuit.<br /><br />LG Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-26068634997415833902018-07-03T12:09:06.153-07:002018-07-03T12:09:06.153-07:00Exciting day for International signings for the Gi...Exciting day for International signings for the Giants! Up there with the signings of Fox and Gustavo, and I guess AnVil as well. Checkered, indeed! <br /><br />Hopefully, with Bell at the helm, things will change. But,as you noted, at least the system got a whole lot stronger!obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-74115412369794936872018-07-03T11:53:17.623-07:002018-07-03T11:53:17.623-07:00ASG: Posey & Crawford have the best league BA ...ASG: Posey & Crawford have the best league BA at their positions in the face of Atlanta stuffing the ballot box across the board. <br />Freeman and Markakis are also leading at their positions BA and voting, but others are not near the leaders at their positions. <br />True, BA isn't determining but does provide a ranking tool, and similarly HRs.<br /><br />Brave players ranking in ballot & BA:<br />C 3rd (NQ in BA, T 6th in HR --with Hundley!)<br />1B 1st (1st in BA, 6th in HR)<br />2B 1st (6th in BA, 1st in HR)<br />3B 3rd (NQ in BA, T 11th in HR)<br />SS 2nd (9th in BA, T 6th in HR)<br />OF 1st, 5th, & 6th (2nd, 22nd, & NQ in BA, T 24th, T 33rd, T 41st in HR) <br /><br />For the record, I've voted multiple times for all our IFers & C, plus Hunter Pence!

Despite being an even worse outfielder, Jackson's starts might should be against lefties, except for Gorkys lead-off HR? Go figure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
