"When the Giants Come to Town..." is my blog intended to chronicle my thoughts on San Francisco Giants baseball. My special interest is in prospects and the farm system, but of course, will comment on all aspects of the San Francisco Giants. I will also comment on baseball in general, particularly from a fantasy baseball perspective. I hope you will find the site informative, and invite you to join in the discussion.

DrB's 2020 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #35 Victor Bericoto
Victor Bericoto 1B/OF. DOB: 12/3/2001. B-R, T-R. 6'1", 155 lbs.
Rookie(DSL): .344/.472/.485, 15 2B, 3B, 5 HR, 10 SB, 18.7 BB%, 19.7 K%, 284 PA.
Rookie(AZL): .273/.273/.318, 2B, 3 SB, 0.0 BB%, 27.3 K%, 22 PA.
Victor Bericoto wasn't one of the headline J2 signings but tore up the DSL. The most obvious exciting item in his stat line is the K/BB. Guys who go 1:1 aren't too easy to find. The SB's are intriguing for a guy who played 1B and corner OF. That demographic puts a lot of pressure on the bat. He needs to put the ball in the air more, but given a choice, I would probably want to see the plate discipline from a 17 yo before the power. I'm guessing he'll stay back in extended spring training and surface back in Arizona in June.
Not to hijack the blog, but Farhan just made a really great signing: GG Switch-hitting 2B Yolmer Sánchez.
ReplyDeleteDoes it solve the IF question?
Ken Rosenthal says on Twitter: Sánchez turned down major-league offers for chance to be everyday starter at second base.
The golden glove @ 2B switch hitter has played a lot of 3B, too.
Now, if 1B can get in order, attention can turn to the OF (and pitching).
With some breaks and a couple rebounds, .500 is not out of reach.
