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