BA - Giants Boast Pair of Standout Arms in Alderson and Bumgarner

...One question mark for Bumgarner has been the future potential of his breaking ball. Bumgarner scrapped the curveball he had in high school and now uses a slider. His changeup is also in an early stage of development. At the all-star game, Bumgarner threw 26 pitches, 25 of which were fastballs

edit by Grant: Sure, you could read an extended passage from the article, but wouldn't it feel better to pay Baseball America for the privilege of being a subscriber? It's worth it, I promise.

 There's a bunch of other good quotes in there too. Like how the Giants tried to change Bumgarner's windup, and he struggled with it and since going back to his old one has been dominating. Alderson mentioned trying to work on a changeup. Pablito mentions Alderson having really good stuff, giving major props to his curveball.

Also in the latest BA Chat, Jim Callis was asked to give the #1 prospect for each team, and he named Mad Bum the Giants top prospect....
