He's not only the best prospect in the Giants system, but rates as one of the best pitching...

0.96 ERA in last 18 starts

He's not Matt Cain

he’s actually, you know, not full of suck.

didn’t realize he was this dominant. so if he pulls a linc and is up next summer… does jonathan sanchez become the most talented #4 starter in the national league? and do we trade alderson for some hitting?

Given the young starters we already have, and that Bumgarner just turned 19, I don’t think there’s any need to rush him.

He will not be up next year.

Tee hee

Plus I had a little chuckle last night looking at the Volcanoes/Hawks box score last night. Josh Vitters is playing for the Cubbies’ NWL team. The guys who went for the Giants in that draft after Vitters aren’t doing too shabby.

Is he rehabbing? I thought he was playing in low-A ball and doing pretty well.

I think he started in Low-A, then got hurt, then ended up in short season, where he’ll probably stay. Something like that. I’m sure an injury is how he ended up there.

Well that’s not as fun.

I still think the picks turned out to be pretty good.

still wondering

Is he just blowing guys away with the fastball? That would still be impressive, but it would be nice if he’s using all his pitches well. There probably aren’t many lefties who throw so hard with good control in that league (or any, I suppose, to some extent), but it wouldn’t be as impressive if he’s just overmatching guys with the heat.
