11. Francisco Peguero, OF: AAA .316/.354/.408, 3 HR, 3 SB, 13 BB, 51 K in 272 AB. MLB: .207/.233/.345, 1 HR, 1 BB, 2 K in 29 AB. Missed some time after a beaning. Pretty good season at AAA but seems to have lost his SB skill, still strikes out a lot and still does not walk. Looked good hitting his first MLB HR in the season finale. Juan Perez seems to have moved ahead of him on the depth chart, which means his stock is down. Needs to find a team that can afford to give him time to settle in at the MLB level. I don't see that happening with the Giants right now.
12. Ricky Oropesa, 1B: AA .207/.255/.307, 6 HR, 15 BB, 74 K in 241 AB. High A .295/.368/.477, 8 HR, 24 BB, 55 K in 220 AB. Struggled mightily in AA as so many Giants hitting prospects have done. Hit much better back in San Jose including 4 HR in 4 playoff games. I saw him play 2 games in the championship series. The 66'er pitchers threw him nothing but off-speed pitches and he struggled along with all the Giants batters. Needs to prove he can get past the AA hurdle. Stock down.
13. Andrew Susac, C: AA .256/.362/.458, 12 HR, 42 BB, 68 K in 262 AB. Started out strong but BA went down progressively each month and did not play after July 31, so health may be an issue. Encouraging power and very nice ratios. Stock is up with a caution regarding health.
14. Ehire Adrianza, SS: AA .240/.331/.312, 2 HR, 11 SB, 31 BB, 45 K in 250 AB. AAA .310/.409/.441, 6 SB, 23 BB, 31 K in 145 AB. MLB .222/.263/.444, 1 HR, 1 BB, 5 K in 18 AB. Excellent season for Adrianza. Looked good on D in a brief sample in MLB and had a moment in the sun with a dinger in Yankee Stadium to break up a perfecto by Andy Pettitte. Stock is up, but he is out of options and where does he play? If I'm the Cardinals GM, I am flooding Sabes with calls on this kid!
15. Adam Duvall, 3B: AA .252/.320/.465, 17 HR, 35 BB, 72 K in 385 AB. Not a bad season considering the environment. Not sure how his D is coming along. Should move up to Fresno next season. I believe he is Rule 5 eligible. Might some team out there take a flyer on him? Stock is stable.
16. Mac Williamson, OF: High A .292/.375/.504, 25 HR, 10 SB, 51 BB, 132 K in 520 AB. The Giants challenged him with placement in his first full pro season and he responded with a terrific performance, particularly in the second half: .331/.408/.578. Showed off a cannon arm in RF. Stock is way up with the caveat that he still has the AA hurdle ahead of him.
17. Edwin Escobar, LHP: High A 3-4, 2.89, 74.2 IP, 17 BB, 92 K. AA 5-4, 2.67, 54 IP, 13 BB, 54 K. Terrific season for the LHP. He should at least start next season in AAA. I would think he also should get a long look in big league camp. Stock is way up!!
18. Chuckie Jones, OF: Low A .236/.321/.371, 10 HR, 12 SB, 47 BB, 140 K in 407 AB. Seemed to turn it around in the last 2 months hitting .275 in July and .290 in August. This was an aggressive ranking, so I will say his stock is stable with cautious optimism for the future. Would love to see him play for SJ next year.
19. Shilo McCall, OF: Short Season .235/.330/.398, 4 HR, 3 SB, 21 BB, 67 K in 196 AB. Solid season considering he was 19 years old in a league whose median age is 22. I would think Low A would be where he starts next season. Stock is stable.
20. Tyler Hollick, OF: Low A .178/.245/.267, 4 SB in 45 AB. Short Season .262/.374/.338, 3 HR, 20 SB, 37 BB, 53 K in 237 AB. Didn't get a foothold in Low A. OK line for a 20 year old in a league whose median age is 22. Stock stable.

Two questions DrB. First, where would you rank the Giants farm system among all of MLB? Secondly, where would you put Kyle Crick's ceiling and what do you think the most likely MLB career is for him?
ReplyDeleteI believe the emergence of the pitching in the lower minors puts the Giants system somewhere middle of the pack. You won't see it ranked that high in places like BA, because they still do not have a lot of elite talent that is close to MLB ready which is what gets you ranked on those lists.
DeleteKyle Crick's ceiling is a frontline starter. As for most likely career, he looks a whole lot like Matt Cain to me.
Anybody else see the article on CSN about the Giants being favorites to land Abreu? Nothing on Trade Rumors yet that I've seen, although I've also read recently that Miami was a favorite as well. Very interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the Giants ownership is not happy sitting idle at this time of the year and is willing to look at options.
DeleteIsn't at least one of them a billionaire?
Another recent post connected the Giants to David Price... One of many teams, obviously, but it's still very interesting to see their name included in discussions. Maybe we're all wrong, and Sabean follows through on his "closed window" talk with Abreu signing and a megatrade. It's possible, although still not likely in my estimation.
ReplyDeleteI do not see us landing David Price without the name Crick in the trade. I doubt the Giants will trade Crick or Williamson at this point. However, if they could swing a deal for Price that had Blackburn, Mejia, Susac and a couple other prospects and possibly would allow us to have a negotiation period for an extension I am all for it. Cain, Bumgarner and Price would probably be in the top 3 of best front starters in baseball.
ReplyDeleteUnder the addage of, you gotta give to get (and Sabean usually doesn't dick around), I can see trading Crick (as a center piece) if they had to for PRICE depending on how high they think the ceiling for the "stuff" guys like Escobar, Stratton, meija, Mela, etc . are........You don't get much better than a threesome of Price (28), Cain (29) and Madbum (25), especially of they are locked up..And .And theres you're new three year window!...OTOH, I don't see how they couldf include WILLIAMSON in any deal given the scarcity of OFs and his monster year last year
