2 HR's in one day for Rayner Arias. Is he starting to find a little traction?  That would be a big development for the Giant farm system.

DSL was idle for their All-Star break.

  1. I’ve always liked Rayner Arias and we tend to forget how highly rated he was as a prospect. But those wrist injuries sapped him not only of power but his swing in general. Would be amazing if he somehow recovered. Payback for all the other injured prospects that never panned out…

  2. Seems like Buddy Kennedy has been one of the bright spots in the system, he still leads the River Cats in HRs and has a .967 OPS in 218 PAs.
    A roster crunch cost his spot: on June 29, 2026, the Giants traded him to Seattle for cash.
    He was always a long shot but what could he have done better?

  3. Bo Davidson is definitely getting called up this year if he continues to hit in AAA like he did in AA. The question is, who gets DFA’d for him? McCray?
