Bumgarner with a 29.4K% in low A: fantastic strikeout numbers
Alderson with a 21.3K% in high A: crappy strikeout numbers
I don’t get it.
TimA is clearly garbage because he has four pitches.

Also I’m willing to give Fairley the benefit of the doubt and be patient with him, but I certainly don’t see him as a top prospect.

Don’t get me wrong, I like him. He’s just still incomplete and I want to see more from him before I make a real judgment on him as a prospect.

The game has started and nobody has yet discussed Sanchez’s second start or Buster making an error. Instead, we’re busy talking about Fairley’s wardrobe and Angel Villalona’s willingness to look strange. I think it’s indicative of who we are as a blog.

This guy is a prime example of the problems of trying to analyze prospects from a statistical standpoint alone. It is pretty clear he hasn’t seen these players much, if at all, and even if he did, he doesn’t know what to do with it.
Adoptive Parent of Francisco Peguero. He can throw, he can run, he can hit(fastballs), and he's Dominican. What else do you need to know?
Care to expand?
I’m happy to discuss methods.
I’ve visited the Giants minor league camp in each of the last two seasons…even got some video this year. I do read scouting information and discuss prospects with many scouting-minded people. I wrote for a scouting-minded baseball magazine. I’ve scouted dozens of college and minor league players. And I’m committed to learning more about scouting.
then he must really think Rick Porcello is garbage, b/c his K rates were much worse than TimA’s at the same level and same age.

Sadly, I rarely get to watch either The Daily Show or The Colbert Report these days.
I did start watching The Daily Show early enough that I remember when there was no audience, and you could hear the writers guffawing in the background at their own jokes.

I remember the third episode, when Bill Murray was on, and I have no memory of a room without an audience.
It is funny nowadays to look up old articles about the Daily Show and how it would never work without Craig Kilborn’s smarmy fratboy charm.

I’m just glad you’re helping to reduce the world supply.
Also, I heard an interview last year about how commercial bananas could very easily become extinct in the Americas. They’re all genetically identical, and thus very susceptible to disease. There’s a type of fungus (or something like that) that’s extremely virulent and kills the type of bananas we eat dead that’s found in other continents. It hasn’t reached the Americas yet, but if even a small amount did, all commercially viable banana trees could be gone within a couple of years.

In spring training, gameday pitch-counts have often been wildly off. One time it said Lincecum had 0 balls but one walk.
Never has a poster been more correct in the history of the internet. Ever! - ResDog on yours truly
on non-gameday enabled games (the ones that don’t have a gameday option from the main mlb site), it gives 4 pitches for a walk, 3 for a k, and 1 for a ball in play
Not this game...
This one is showing balls and strikes in the same at bats—even those not ending in walks and strikeouts. I suppose I could go through all the at bats and count each pitch. But that would be kind of weird.
I actually think it is possible for Sanchez to have that low of a pitch count. My guess is that hitters are generally a little bit more hackerish up there in spring games.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??

Taschner is/was the longest tenured Giant, in terms of total time in the organization – he debuted with Salem-Keizerway back in 1999. If he’s gone, I guess that makes Noah Lowry (2001, also with Salem-Keizer). After that….maybe Merkin Valdez? He debuted with the Hagerstown Suns back in 2003.

I didn’t expect them to get much, but at first glance, he hardly seems like an upgrade from Holm. Maybe he’s a defensive whiz or something?
