Today the San Francisco Giants made a ton of Spring Training cuts. They’ve optioned and reassigned 21 players.

Things You Only Hear Baseball Fans Say In February: 2013 Edition
Everyone’s got a scrub or prospect or three they’re looking forward to seeing.
For me with the Giants, Gary Brown and Joe Panik are the obvious ones. I’m not expecting either one to be soon, but both are important to the Giants’ future, so I want to see them get chances. With Scutaro and Pagan going to the WBC soon, that’s likely to happen.
The other one is a pet prospect...

2013 Top 10 Prospects: 7 Through 4
Unlike last year, we won’t be doing a special comic for number 1, so four prospects today.
It might seem like I’m down on a lot of prospects this year. Well, to be perfectly clear, 2012 was not a good year for Giants prospects. Many top prospects had disappointing years, at best. Only Kyle Crick and Clayton Blackburn really had huge years.
That said, I still like the farm...

MMO Mailbag: Trading For Promising Outfielders?
Andrew asks:
I know there is no way the Marlins would trade Stanton to us, but I see a few other solid young outfielders that could help the Mets in a big way. What about Mark Trumbo of the Angels, A.J. Pollock from the Dbacks, or Gary Brown from the Giants? Trumbo would be the most ideal, but the other two could be good pieces too. Brown could be an ideal leadoff hitter with...

San Francisco Giants Top 15 Prospects (2012-2013)
The Giants organization possesses some strong prospects at the top of the list, as well as solid pitching depth. But the overall depth in the system is somewhat thin. It’s not a result of poor drafting or inept talent evaluation – it’s actually the complete opposite. The organization has wisely leveraged its assets to acquire key contributors during their playoff hunts, such...

Winter Meeting Signings: Angel Pagan and Marco Scutaro
The Winter Meetings has come and gone… Your San Francisco Giants went in with a simple game plan, and that was to sign outfielder Angel Pagan, and infielder Marco Scutaro.
However, the game plan wasn’t that easy to execute. Both of these players were attracting a lot of attention in the free agent market. In the end, they both decided to return to the Giants.

Will the Giants win the 2012 World Series?
No matter what happens between now and the end of October, the San Francisco Giants’ 2012 campaign will likely be regarded as a success by most fans. After missing the post-season last year (hangover effect?), the 2010 World Champions are back in the playoffs and have every bit a chance of bringing home the hardware as anyone.
Many pundits wrote the G-men off before the 2012...
Prime Nine: San Francisco Giants
It’s been no secret that I’m not a big Brian Sabean fan. Yet, he seems to defy the odds every season. Still, like a professional golfer that scrambles out of the woods every hole, the time is coming where the luck will begin to dry out. A quick look at the farm system is the first clue that something is going wrong. Yet, one should look no further than the product...
