Willie McCovey Memorial 2019 Community Prospect List #33

So, I came into the office today and damn, everyone seems sad and crying and there's flowers and random monkey paws everywhere. Some writer is leaving the site. I’m not sure why everyone’s said...dude wrote like, what, five articles last season? He’s probably not very important.*

Okay, since everyone’s sad about that guy who barely posts announcing he won’t post at all anymore, I have something fun to point out, about some old friends.

The Fresno Grizzlies, former Giants affiliate at the Triple-A level, are now a part of the Washington Nationals system. When the Grizz switched from the Giants to Astros, it made sense for them to keep the Orange color theme they’d used for the last part of their time with the Giants. But now, it was time for another branding change. So...here are your new Grizzlies!

Well, that’s not too different from the past, especially the F. Let’s look at the unis:

Whoa...red pants. That is a bold, bold choice there.

Okay, I’m kind of liking it. Not loving, but liking. I like the 2-tone Fresno for the main Road jersey. And I’ll forgive putting the city name on the home jersey since it’s a reference to the flag...but shouldn’t the star be on the upper right shoulder?

Anyways, discuss unis down below. Also, maybe talk about the prospects. You should do that too.

*-Thanks for everything, Grant. I’m happy for you. I’m also happy for me, since now I’m subscribing to The Athletic for more than just Jayson Stark.
