Fla-Giant

I figured that we need 1 more of these before Minor Lines debuts on Friday. The comments should be flying hot & heavy as leaks and reports of which prospects are being assigned to which level...

A lot more info on where players are currently assigned is trickling in from sources like Joe Ritzo and our SJ/Fresno Superfans (kdl and sfgiantsgirl), so this exercise is not quite as challenging...

With the exception of about 5 guys (that are still officially on the big league ST roster), everybody that will open the season on one of the Giants' 4 full-season minor league clubs are currently...

First Round 1. Astros 2. Cubs 3. Rockies 4. Twins 5. Indians 6. Marlins 7. Red Sox 8. Royals 9. Pirates (for failure to sign 2012 first-rounder Mark Appel) 10. Blue Jays 11. Mets 12. M...

Is it just me or does it feel kind of dead around here (I'm a fine one to talk)? How about a bit of early-season draft talk to liven things up? It's the first day of Spring (!) and there are...

Sunday was a really slim pickings for us Giant fans,with the only game in the DWL being rained out and Ehire Adrianza riding the pines down in Venezuela. The day's highlight belongs to the 2...

Roger K. had a good Friday (2 singles + 1 RBI in 4 ABs), but a bad Saturday (0 hits in 9 ABs with 3 Ks) down in the Dom. Rep. the last 2 days. JCP, conversely, had a bad Friday (0 hits in 3 ABs...

The 2012 Rule 5 Draft will take place on Dec. 6th, the last day of the 4 day long Winter Meetings. I believe that the last day for teams to set their 40-man rosters prior to the Rule 5 Draft is...

Now the we finally got those boring major league playoff games out of the way we can finally concentrate on the good stuff - winter baseball!! Three Giants are on the East Team - Gary Brown, H...

THURSDAY - 10/31 Mingo continued to be the best-performing Giant prospect down in the AFL on Wednesday - getting 3 hits in 4 ABs (including his 3rd HR in only 28 ABs) to raise his slash through...

This anouncement is 4 days old and snuck past all of us. The Giants have signed a middle infielder from this year's IFA class for a reported $115K. Here's the info that I currently have. Raiby...

There's not much guess-work for the Giants starting rotation in the World Series that begins on Wednesday - especially when compared to the numerous and varied options that Bochy had available to...

The offseason action is starting to heat up. Besides the AFL entering its 2nd week down in AZ, three of the 4 Caribbean leagues are now in action (with only the Puerto Rican League still quiet)....

We don't know right now if the Giants will face the Cards or the Nats in the NLDS, and we don't know if game 1 will be in SF or DC, but we do know game 1 will be played on Sunday and game 2 will be...

The Scottsdale Scorpions travel to Phoenix tomorrow to play their first game (of a scheduled 38) of the season at 12:35 in the afternoon. The Giants have 8 prospects assigned to the Scorpions - 4...

The Giants farm system has remained very thin and low-rated over the past 10 years - especially in terms of position players. They do have a good reputation of drafting and developing some...

The magic number is 5 and there are still 13 games left to play, so I think it's safe to hand the 2012 NL West title to the Giants now. The next big challenge will be to choose the 25 players to...

CAA just came out with their annual prediction that the service time cutoff for Super 2 arb eligibility this offseason will be 2 years + 139 days. They may be off by a few days either way, but it's...

No word from his twitter account yet, but I found this little nugget in an article posted by the Gastonia Gazzette on Monday (Terry has been pitching for the Gastonia Grizzlies in North Carolina...

Medina holds the distinction of having the coolest name in the org now that Sundrendy Windster has been booted, while Ribas (who turns 17 on Friday) is one of the youngest active players in all of...

I'm still disappointed with who the Giants drafted this year, and especially with their overall draft strategy. I still believe that there were several obvious opportunities for them to go much...

Last week, when I wrote my fanpost about the affects of the ne CBA rules on this year's draft I neglected to mention, or even imagine that one of the benefits would be that it would allow people...

Let's see, there's only 1 guy from my first round draft board that didn't get drafted in the first round - Carson Kelly, the Oregon HS 3rd baseman. I'm not sure if he didn't get drafted because the...

Let me start with a general discussion of drafting philosophy and analysis, then I'll get into the specifics for this year's draft. PHILOSOPHY 1. This is my draft board for the Giants. If I were...

Hopefully this post will give you a framework and the information to allow you to get more out of this year's draft as you follow along. WHEN:Monday: 4:00 PDT - Round 1 (picks 1 thru 60)....
