"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: Honorable Mention(Part 1)
HM's are in no particular order. We'll do 5 at a time until we're done. I might add one or two in the process.
Ismael Munguia OF. DOB: 10/19/1998. B-L, T-L. 5'10", 160 lbs.
Low A: .286/.343/.376, 22 2B, 5 3B, HR, 13 SB, 5.6 BB%, 9.6 K%, 427 PA.
High energy, high contact, some speed, low power. May get trampled by the thundering herd of OF prospects in the organization.

Kervin Castro RHP. DOB: 2/7/1999. 6'0", 185 lbs.
Short Season: 5-3, 2.66, 67.2 IP, 8.11 K/9, 1.73 BB/9, GB/FB= 1.66.
Per Fangraphs, sports a 95 MPH FB with a plus changeup. "Built like a catcher."

A+: 0-5, 4.95, 40.0 IP, 10.58 K/9, 10.80 BB/9.
Tremendous physical tools but extreme wildness an existential threat to his career.

Late round HS draftee in 2017. Giants have brought him along slowly. Maybe ready for full season ball in Augusta?

Workhorse college senior draftee in 21'st round. We'll see if stuff plays at higher levels.
Dr. B.,
ReplyDeleteMaybe you are going to get to him, but what about Simon Whiteman? By all accounts, he's a very heady player with an excellent OBP and a legitimate stolen base threat. What are your thoughts?
