@matthewk36711 Since command can be kinda raw in the DSL how strongly can u count on stats like BB% to remain true stateside?

Miguel Caraballo is a Giants prospect who, for whatever reason, I haven't heard anyone talk about.
As one of a few 16-year-olds in the DSL:
.264/.432/.442 (135 wRC+)
22.5% K (33% whiff)
16.6% BB
102.5 mph 90th EV
22% chase rate
Incredibly impressive for a kid that young.

@matthewk36711 Can you do one on Braxton Roxby pls! He had a great start to the year in Richmond and I wonder what u think about him potentially pitching in the pen sometime this year

The first of many prospect threads this offseason! Let me know who else you want to read about.
Matthew Knauer@matthewk36711
The Giants found Josh Bostick out of Grayson County Junior College in Texas, drafting him in the 8th round of the 2023 draft. A year and a half later, the 23-year-old is one of the organization’s best pitching prospects. A thread 🧵

@matthewk36711 I def have a bias toward Bivens because 1) He has a longer track record w the Giants compared to Gage/Brubaker and 2) his journey to the majors is so compelling
But I agree w you that Bivens could be redundant and doesn’t fill the high leverage spots in the pen
English
@pitted_03 The other possible scenario is Bivens over Gage. They currently have three lefties, so Gage is a bit expendable.
But I think having both Brubaker and Bivens in the bullpen is malpractice. You need as many arms as possible that you're confident with in high-leverage.

With the Sam Hentges signing, San Francisco's bullpen is at seven. They need one more arm.
Ryan Walker
Sam Hentges
Joel Peguero
Erik Miller
José Buttó
Matt Gage
JT Brubaker
It's a group that's a closer away. I want one of: Rogers/Pagán/Helsley/Weaver/Harvey/Finnegan.
English
@matthewk36711 Just curious, why don’t you think Bivens is a front runner for a bullpen spot next year? Does Brubaker get a spot purely because of his contract or does his underlying numbers actually make him better than Bivens? Appreciate all of your work o7

They also have some good 40-man depth:
Spencer Bivens
Keaton Winn
Reiver Sanmartin
Tristan Beck
And a lot of SPs who could be moved into the pen:
Hayden Birdsong
Carson Seymour
Kai-Wei Teng
Carson Whisenhunt
English
The Giants did not add anyone to their 40-man roster ahead of the deadline to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. They had some possible relief candidates, including former first-rounder Will Bednar, but no slam dunk choices, and their 40-man was already full.

Eddie Pinero on why he chose the 49ers over the Falcons: “I want to win.”

Bryce Eldridge already making it look easy at first base 😲
