21. Carlos De La Rosa LHP:
ACL: 4-2, 6.21, 42 IP, 9.86 K/9, 4.93 BB/9, 1.77 GB/FB.
Has had a couple of really good starts but inconsistent command holds him back. Still only 18 yo. Stock Stable.
22. Yunior Marte RHP:
A+: 6-1, 3.74, 43.1 IP, 8.52 K/9, 3.95 BB/9.
AA: 0-2, 5.74, 31.1 IP, 10.34 K/9, 2.87 BB/9.
Secondary stats say he's pitched quite a bit better at AA than A+ but the ERA is a full 2 runs higher. Stock Stable.
23. Trevor Cohen OF:
A+: .297/.387/.416, 26 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 26 SB, 12.6 BB%, 13.7 K%, 380 PA.
Solid season so far showing combination of excellent plate discipline and contact which is very hard to achieve. Speed to steal bases and gap power. Fits the classic CF/leadoff batter profile. Stock Up!
24. Rayner Arias OF:
ACL: .176/.317/.294, 2 HR, 3 SB, 9.6 BB%, 31.7 K%, 104 PA.
Man, do you remember when this kid got a 7-figure signing bonus and all the analysts said he had advanced skills and would be a fast mover? That was a long time ago! Has never found traction after a series of wrist injuries. Stock Down.
25. Joe Whitman LHP:
AA: 5-1, 3.22, 50.1 IP, 11.62 K/9, 2.32 BB/9. 1.52 GB/FB.
AAA: 3-2, 4.26, 31.2 IP, 7.39 K/9, 2.30 BB/9, 1.50 GB/FB.
What's going on here? Strong start to the season in AA then some good starts after a promotion to AAA. Just as it looked like he might be in line for a potential call up, especially after the trade deadline, he started showing up in boxscores pitching out of the bullpen. Stock Up?
26. Drew Cavanaugh C:
AA: .279/.456/.515, 7 2B, 3 HR, 3 SB, 18.9 BB%, 23.3 K%, 90 PA.
AAA: .330/.445/.571, 9 2B, 6 HR, 3 SB, 13.1 BB%, 24.8 K%, 137 PA.
MLB: .219/.324/.219/.13.2 BB%, 23.7 K%, 38 PA.
Has hit at every level with elite plate discipline. Called up during Daniel Susac's stay on the IL with good quality AB's but with some bad BABIP luck. Stock Up.
27. Justin Dean OF: DFA 1/6/2026. Claimed by Cubs. .238 BA in AAA this season.
LOL! Sometimes tough to know what offseason signings will stick and which ones will churn their way out of the organization. Might have given as much value as a defense-first CF as Harrison Bader for a fraction of the cost. Stock Nonexistent.
28. Dayson Croes 2B:
AA: .264/.315/.372, 6 2B, 2 3B, HR, 2 SB, 6.1 BB%, 10.7 K%, 131 PA.
AAA: .250/.302/.339, 2 2B, HR, 2 SB, 4.6 BB%, 9.2 K%, 65 PA.
Continues high contact/low power profile but without the .300+ BA's required to have value. I could see him getting a trial at 2B with the Giants after the trade deadline but would probably require both Arraez and Chapman to be traded so Schmitt can take over 3B. Stock Stable.
29. Trent Harris RHP:
AAA: 2-1, 4.30, 29.1 IP, 10.43 K/9, 4.60 BB/9, 1 Save.
What's with the Giants and their relievers who walk too many batters? Stock Stable.
30. Wilkin Ramos RHP:
AAA: 3-2, 4.17, 36.2 IP, 8.59 K/9, 3.19 BB/9, 3.05 GB/FB.
MLB: 0-0, 22.50, 2 IP, 4.50 K/9, 18.00 BB/9, 5.00 GB/FB.
I feel like if he could get one clean MLB inning under his belt, he could be a decent reliever with extreme ground ball tendencies, but so far that hasn't happened. Stock Down.
Encouraged to hear Keith Law say today Giants have implemented player development philosophy changes under ZM by being more aggressive helping players by changing mechanics, adding subtracting pitches, swing changes, etc. He said these were things they weren't doing before, but good teams are doing.i thought all teams do this, sounds like some teams are more aggressive implementing changes then others. Hopefully their player development starts a positive turnaround
ReplyDeleteHopefully ownership pays attention to analysis like that and doesn't make ZM the scapegoat for this disaster season.
DeleteCarlos De la Rosa and Yunior Marte great potential to be relievers. Potentially dynamic relievers.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Giants figures with Joe Whitman that if he could figure it out as a reliever he has a better chance of making the team before he is rule 5 eligible.
ReplyDeleteThat the top three selections in the recent draft all have unusually good command may signal a new view that it’s better to start with command and work on stuff and velocity than vice versa.
