Hot Stove Update: Giants Sign Two Minor League Deals

The Giants added a couple of minor league deals reported yesterday.    Let's break it down.

Bryan Brickhouse RHP.  DOB:  6/6/1992.  6'0", 195 lbs.  

2021 AA(Dodgers):  1-3, 3.45, 60 IP, 7.65 K/9, 2.40 BB/9(10 Starts in 19 Appearances).  

Brickhouse pitched 6 seasons in the Royals organization since 2012(DNP 2016 and 2017).  He was plagued by wildness until he hooked on with the Dodgers last year and produced his best BB/9 by far.  If he sustains that, he provided depth in the upper minors with potential for a midseason callup if a need arises at the MLB level.

Jason Krizan UT.  DOB:  6/28/1989.  B-L, T-R.  6'0", 185 lbs.  

2021 AAA(Giants):  .316/.367/.492, 16 HR, 8.1 BB%, 14.6 K%, 480 PA.  

Krizan has played every position but catcher in his minor league career.  His versatility is a big plus and he provided depth at multiple positions.  Similar player to Tommy La Stella.  I could see him filling in for that role if Tommy's return from Achilles Tendon surgery is delayed.

  1. If Brickhouse works out I won't be as upset about Dodgers taking Duplantier from Giants! I have read some good things about him.
