The post was not about me. It was about Joey Bart.  I said why I said I DGAF about this current season to preemptively respond to those who say you can't be a fan of Joey Bart and give up on a season. Anyway...

Melissa Lockard recently interviewed the Giants farm director in The Athletic. One thing he said that stood out to me was it's possible Vaun Brown could be moved up to Richmond this month. He is being touted as a 5-tool player and has caught the eye of scouts across MLB who wonder how the Giants found him.

The other thing that stood out was a little info on 1st rd pick Reggie Crawford. The Giants are going to develop him as a Shohei Ohtani type, giving him opportunity to DH and Pitch. But I've seen some scouting reports that say it's possible he becomes a reliever. The fact Crawford can hit before he can throw, means he'll get a lot of time to develop his plate skills while recovering from TJ. How cool would it be to have a closer who is an every day DH? Obviously a long, long way to go, but the most intriguing prospect the Giants have had in my memory.

Brown took a leap his junior year in college, then another his senior year in college, and is currently scalding the ball in San Jose with a .347/.428/.636/1.064 line. Hope he continues to progress.

And Joey Bart's 8 for 17 since his week with the instructors.  Hopefully he's turned a corner.

21-75 with 5 HRs since coming back.  Plus he looks like a different hitter. Still gonna strike out a lot. But the quality of his PAs have improved dramatically.
