Down on the Farm: Review of DrB's 2014 Giants Top 50 Prospects Honorable Mention

Alberto Robles, 2B/SS:  Low A  .304/.360/.387, 13 SB, 13 BB, 22 K in 194 AB.  Could be a serious sleeper if he can stay at SS.  Stock is up.

Jose Valdez, RHP:  AA  3-2, 5.46, 56 IP, 48 BB, 53 K's.  Physical monster who is still maddeningly inconsistent.  These numbers ain't gonna get it done.  Stock is down.

Fabio Castillo, RHP:  AA  2-2, 3.34, 32.1 IP, 17 BB, 44 K.  AAA  4-5, 6.47, 57 IP, 26 BB, 51 K's.  Minor league FA pickup from out of Texas.  Hard thrower with uninspiring numbers.  Not sure if he's re-signed yet or not.  Stock is stable to slightly down.

Scott Shuman, RHP:  0-0, 9.51, 23.2 IP, 42 BB, 39 K.  Minor League Rule 5 Pickup from the Rays.  Hard thrower with major control issues.  I was hoping the Giants could fix him, but I guess not.  Stock is down.

Johnny Monell, C:  AAA  .275/.364/.494, 20 HR, 59 BB, 105 K in 415 AB.  MLB:  .125/.222/.125 in 8 AB.  Monell had a fine season for Fresno and got a cup of coffee in September.  There has to be a place for this guy somewhere.  LH hitting catchers with some pop aren't plentiful.  Stock is up, but where does he play?

Jarrett Parker, OF:  AA  .245/.355/.430, 18 HR, 13 SB, 60 BB, 161 K in 444 AB.  A 3-true-outcomes hitter whose numbers don't look so bad in the Eastern League as they did in the Cal League.  I sort of have a feeling this guy just might put up similar numbers in MLB, which would be pretty darn good.  Stock is up.

Rafael Rodriguez, OF:  Low A  .208/.262/.304, 4 HR, 15 BB, 52 K in 250 AB.  There really isn't anything to be encouraged about in these numbers.  Stock is way down!

Alex Burg, UT:  Released before the season started.  I did not see that coming.  I really liked Burg as a potential utility player.

Ryan Cavan, 2B/3B:  High A  .283/.331/.367, 3 HR.  Got sent back to SJ, ostensibly to learn to play 3B, but soon got bumped back to 2B by Myles Schroder.  That did not earn him a promotion.  Stock is down.

Justin Fitzgerald, RHP:  AA  3-0, 1.09, 33 IP, 8 BB, 41 K, GO/AO= 1.76.  AAA  2-8, 5.61, 77 IP, 33 BB, 65 K, GO/AO= 1.30.  Fringe prospect who stayed on the fringe.  Stock is stable.

Demondre Arnold, RHP:  Released before the start of the season.  I did not see this one coming either.

Jackson Williams, C:  AAA  .230/.289/.356, 5 HR.  Good defensive catcher who will probably never hit enough to  even be a backup at the MLB level.  Stock is stable to down.

Ryan Lollis, OF:  AA  .267/.345/.377, 8 HR, 6 SB, 50 BB, 61 K in 469 AB.  I really like Lollis and think he could be a reserve OF somewhere in MLB.  Athletic enough to play CF. Stock is slightly up.

Brett Krill, OF:  AA  .258/.313/.329.  Disappointing power numbers from my former favorite sleeper.  On the other hand, the EL is a beast for hitters.  Stock is stable.

Mitch Delfino, 3B:  Low A  .270/.324/.413, 13 HR, 35 BB, 76 K in 477 AB.   Augusta is a tough place to hit for power.  Moved up to SJ for the playoffs.  Looked good at the plate in the 2 games I saw.  Stock is up.
