  1. Some runs would be nice. Quintana is mowing us down.
  2. Right. His improvements are very easily noticeable since his stint last season. http://i.imgur.com/4jzPvma.png He's swinging at less pitches outside, while also making more contact with pitches outside. Swinging less as well as swinging and missing less. Contact rate is up too.
  3. Nolasco has junk balled his way through this one. Only blemishes were the Eaton leadoff HR and longest single of the year to Morneau. I would take him out before the wheels fall off. Short leash.
  4. Vargas has been pretty awesome since he's came up this season. Small sample but very encouraging.
  5. Jose Quintana is pretty good. Would love to have him in our rotation. Especially with that contract.
  6. Morneau in a White Sox uni. It just feels so wrong.
  7. He could be a middle of the rotation guy in short order. I like it.
  8. I have no preference either way but it does make sense if the two threads could be merged somehow.
  9. Here is what Fangraphs writer Eric Longenhagen had to say about Adalberto just 10 days ago Benny Boop: What do you think of Adalberto Mejia? Any chance he’s up this year before Sept? 3:46 Eric A Longenhagen: Solid average four pitch mix with a good idea of how to use it. I think he’s a #4 and I do believe he could help the big club this year. I need to watch the video I took of him at the Futures Game and comp it to last fall because I think the arm slot might be a little lower.
  10. Yeah I wouldn't worry about the ERA at all especially in the PCL. The strikeout and walk numbers are very nice though.
  11. Adalberto was ranked 7th on the Giants most recently updated MLB Pipeline top 30 prospects list. Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 50 | Curveball: 40 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 55 | Overall: 50 Mejia received the highest bonus in the Giants' 2011 international crop, signing for $350,000 out of the Dominican Republic. He pitched a career-low 51 1/3 innings last year, the result of a 50-game suspension for testing positive for stimulants and a bout with shoulder tendinitis, but pitched well enough in Double-A and the Arizona Fall League to earn a spot on San Francisco's 40-man roster. Mejia often pitches in the low 90s and tops out at 95 with sink and tail on his fastball, though at times he'll dip down to the upper 80s. His slider and changeup can be solid pitches on occasion, and he has the aptitude to vary the break on his slider. He also can mix in a curveball for show. There isn't much effort in Mejia's delivery, and he's doing a better job of repeating it and maintaining the quality of his stuff and command. He'll need to watch his conditioning because his 6-foot-3 frame carries a lot more than his listed 195 pounds. He most likely will fit in the No. 4 slot in a big league rotation.
  12. Right. That contract is a mess. Not exactly a good situation.
  13. The log jam at 1B/DH is real though. Would be nice if we could shed the Mauer contract but I doubt anyone would be interested.
  14. Hey Guys! Been pretty busy the last week or so nice to finally tune into a game again. Looks like Gibson has been pretty good so far.
