Mauricio Dubon emerged as the Giants everyday CF over the shortened course of the 2020 season with Mike Yastrzemski sliding over from RF as the main backup.

Mauricio Dubon could well be the Giants CF of the forseeable future if he continues to improve. He needs to smooth out the rough edges on defense and show a bit more power. It remains to be seen whether any of the Giant top tier OF prospects starting with Heliot Ramos are CF long term. Right now, if Dubon got hurt or regressed, YtY would likely slide over to RF to cover. Duggar just hasn't shown he can stay healthy or hit. There is a lot of buzz that 2021 is the year Heliot Ramos makes his MLB debut
Regarding a LH infield bat platooning at 3rd or 2nd, La Stella probably wouldn't cost a LOT.
ReplyDeleteGregorius would be better, being a SS, but he'll command more than FZ would pay.
La Stella will be 32 next year, Gregorius 31.
The real FA treasure trove is for 2022 with LHB's Lindor and Seager, both @ 28 yo in the playing year. Can FZ outbid his former self?
Brett Phillips was the rage Saturday night for his 2-out 9th inning come from behind hit that won the game with a couple Dodger errors.
ReplyDeleteMedia made much over the last minute trade deadline pickup from KC. They mostly did not mention who was traded by the Rays for Phillips, even-up.
If you follow former high-profile Giant prospects, you probably know. Initials: L.F. His signing set the Giants back for years by the over-spend.
Curious why you didn't include Hunter Bishop in this list. To be sure, coming out of college he was described as borderline CF with a probable destination of RF, but after he was in the fold I consistently heard from the organizational folks on radio and podcasts that he impressed (indeed surprised) in CF and that's where they thought his future would be.
ReplyDelete1. Bishop is not listed as a CF on his minor league roster line. 2. I don't know that he's ever played CF. Could have included him as a POSSIBLE but I'm trying to keep it simple here.
DeleteSurprised Luis Matos was not prominently featured here.
ReplyDeleteThis series is not really so much about prospects as who would be next in line in case of injury or poor performance. Matos is an exciting prospect but is still so far away from his MLB debut, he really isn't in the succession line for any given position. My understanding is that he is probably not a future CF, but may well hit enough to be corner OF of the future. At this point, while he has an exciting bat, he future position and role are not well defined.
