This is a list of the top prospects updated after yesterday’s trade.  Doesn’t look like much help for next season

Our ability to develop pitchers has been poor.  So the first priority must be to correct that.

We are loaded with top SS prospects

I imagine we'll trade some of the top SS prospects for pitching help in the offseason.

I would anticipate a number of the SS’s will move to other positions.  For example, I read that the latest addition, Joniel Hernandez, may wind up as a center fielder.  It all depends on how the mature as players.  It is a nice problem to have…..

Unless the Giants spend serious money next season will be worse. Good time to stay home Mike

They already tried to spend their way out of a bad situation.  It didn’t work.  The only way they can turn things around at this point is:

Find some guys who can effectively cover the 7th, 8th and 9th innings between now and the start of next season (whenever that is).

Hope the guys they acquired in the recent trades can mature rapidly.

Look forward to the day when the players currently in Eugene and Richmond graduate to SF.

Lastly, goodbye and best wishes to a Forever Giant who belongs in the Hall of Fame - Mike Krukow.  We will miss you, Mike.

Grab some pine, Kruk.  No one deserves it more.

It's almost a physically painful experience to listen to non-Giants broadcasters. Kruk and Kuip put all those guys to shame.

US network sports broadcasting in general has gotten severely terrible. It's as if the networks are promoting guys who simply know how to constantly sound incredibly excited - for the entire game. Examples: John Strong (World Cup for Fox), Ryan Ruocco (WBB, NBA). Hate both of those guys. There's no intelligence, just relentless hyping and screaming.

There has been a Tugboat sighting.  It is scheduled to dock in Lake Erie somewhere near Cleveland on Wednesday.  

Rumor has it that Phogge is clearing his calendar so he can watch this spectacle.

Giants to promote Matt Wilkinson

Tugboat has been doing decently well in AAA. I don't think he has the velocity to be a success up here, but he couldn't be any worse, right?

BTW, Arraez has hit .245 since he left SFG, and Heliot Ramos is hiting .083 since the trade.

Anyone who can get the ball over the plate, regardless of velocity, would be a refreshing change from the slop we have seen lately.

SFG has given up the fifth most walks in baseball (467). Conversely, they have only walked 327 times, fewest in baseball. They are scoring 4.1 rpg, T23 in MLB. They are giving up 4.65 rpg, 20th in baseball. And they are 21st in defensive Rtot.

A one-point-six gpa. Congratulations, Mr. Kroger. You're at the top of your pledge class.
