Braves have played us tough, but we are crushing their pitching right now... if we can get another solid start then game over.

Hoping Tomlinson can be our next Matt Duffy and be another later rd pick that makes it big. Its nice that he can play 2B, SS, or 3B and potentially be the super utility guy on this team. At this point he has to be better than Adrianza.

The MLB draft is such a crapshoot. Tomlinson was a 12th rd pick. Duffy was an 18th rounder. Crawford and Belt were taken in rds 4 and 5. Then you look at all of the first and second rd busts we have had. (along with all other teams). Crazy. Kind of fun to go to sfgiants.com and look at past draft results.

his glasses he wears remind me of Kickham

Seriously crazy, but we have quite a few first rounders starting too: Cain, Bum, Buster, Panik. I know the Giants always get killed in the prospect lists, but they continue to churn out starters from their drafts and that's all we can ask for really.

Sure there are a few first rd hits. I would hope so! But if you want to ge a bust in major league baseball be a second rd pick of the SF Giants. It is hillarious to look back at the last 25 years. In fact, I would say that Susac is BY FAR the best 2nd rd pick the Giants have made in a quarter century.

Yep. Probably since they tried to draft BLB in '82

Adrianza and Tomlinson. Damn. Lets hope Tomlinson shows he can hit, because we know Adrianza can't. Also, he booted some easy GBs, and if you want to be INF depth, I aint down with that. INF depth on this team only plays in important spots. And Arias was always a lock in that regard.

Yup, I wish we had kept Arias up here, because Adrianza is worse as a player in every regard.

Craw needed a day off, and I'm much more comfortable with Adrianza's glove than I am pretty much anyone else not named Crawford.

No one claimed Arias so he is still in the Giants system. He will be back Sept 1 if not sooner.

I think we have a concensus that the most worthless player on this squad is Adrianza with Casilla a close second (at the moment )

Hunter Pence is on a 140 RBI pace this year. If only he had been healthy all year. We'd be in 1st right now for sure.
