So it seems time for a bat again and word was the Giants had interest in Gyorko, who can flat-out hit but doesn't seem to have a true defensive home. The Giants may see an offensive-minded second baseman, a la Jeff Kent, when they see Gyorko."obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-86315279357833490452010-06-03T14:52:04.666-07:002010-06-03T14:52:04.666-07:00You better start doing some research on Jedd Gyork...You better start doing some research on Jedd Gyorko. I have it on good authority that the Giants flew him in for a workout on June 2 and gave him tickets to see the game that night. You don't do that unless you are seriously considering taking that player in the draft.Boofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-17556826939897621472010-06-03T14:45:45.595-07:002010-06-03T14:45:45.595-07:00Mock draft at Project Prospect.

Since he signed in early April, I would assume that they placed him in instructional leagues, if that exists right now (I know they have them but not sure when), or what I've heard is called "extended spring training". <br /><br />I would think that they would put him in the rookie league, whenever that starts up. I cannot figure out when the Arizona Giants started the 2009 season. There is also a Giants entry in the Dominican Summer League as well. With only 56 games played last year in the Arizona League, they probably don't start until May or June and run for two months roughly.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-33809536726121279162010-06-03T09:08:37.380-07:002010-06-03T09:08:37.380-07:00what ever happenned to reiner roibal.

He h...I think Bowker would be the odd man out here. He has a Minor League option left and with Burrell competing for playing time with Rowand, Torres, Schierholtz and Derosa (soon), there just isn't an opportunity for Bowker to get any playing time. Furthermore, as much as I hate to say it, Bowker needs to go to Fresno just for the sake of getting some confidence back. He seems to be pressing so much at the plate, and he needs to experience some success, be it in Fresno or the Majors.<br /><br />As far as the draft, I'm big on Yordy Cabrera, and I hope he falls to No. 24. The guy has an incredible athleticism and from what I've seen, has very solid tools and power. He may move to the outfield, as the word from scouts is that he isn't good defensively at shortstop, but he is definitely a player that I think could be good in the Giants organization.Kevin O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00114732419318117049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-43251210331687528282010-06-02T14:05:33.714-07:002010-06-02T14:05:33.714-07:00With Posey up and playing 1b and having Huff &...With Posey up and playing 1b and having Huff & Sandoval available to play there also. Ishikawa is really irrelevant. He is even more so if they call up Burrell.Boofnoreply@blogger.com
