Bumgarner #1
Not much surprise, but only looking at minor league pitchers, Jim Callis has Bumgarner #1.
"Gary (Des Moines, Iowa): Hi, enjoy the chat. Is Madison Bumgarner the top pitching prospect in baseball? If not who is? Thank you.
Jim Callis: (1:59 PM ET ) David Price is the top pitching prospect in baseball, though he'll probably never see the minors again. If we're counting just minor leaguers, then yes, it's Bumgarner. "

sim (stockton, ca): as a giants fan should i be excited about jesus guzman’s winter league stats?
SportsNation Jim Callis: (2:02 PM ET ) “Excited” might be too much. He’s having a huge winter and might be a useful big leaguer, but I can’t see him being a star by any means.
for the giants, of course, useful big leaguer (for position players) is almost as good as being a star.

James (San Leandro, CA): As a Giant’s fan we have heard a lot about Posey but we havn’t heard much about the guys drafted after posey so what are your thoughts on Conor Gillaspie, Roger Kieschnick and Brandon Crawford?
Jim Callis: (2:39 PM ET ) I like Gillaspie, though he was a good value as a sandwich pick, think he’ll be a solid regular. Kieschnick has some interesting power and tools and will be a solid regular if he tones down his approach a little and makes consistent contact. I’m less sold on Crawford, just not sure he’ll hit enough.
Tim (CA): Why is Bumgarner ranked so high? From what I heard he only has a good fastball but not any off-speed stuff.
Jim Callis: (2:45 PM ET ) That’s crazy. He needs to work on his changeup, but it’s coming and his hard slider will be a weapon.
Tim clearly doesn’t know shit. Either that or he’s actually Tim Alderson and is just pissed that he gets overlooked in our system because of Mad Bum.

You probably know it as MYANMAR, but it will always be BURMA to me!
