Hermanson doesn't count, he was not "developed" by the Giants' farm. Now, if you said Terry Mulholland . . .

Why not the Count and Ed Halikci? Jim Barr?

Probably came on the second bounce of a pitch in the dirt. Hacktor lives!

I didn't know that Jerome Williams has been with the Cardinals since the end of July, until today. Seems he's the guy they let stay on the mind when the blow out commences. He's got three horrible relief appearances with them (along with a handful of good ones).

Duffy done for the season...

Matt Duffy Expected To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

The Achilles thing is nagging. I really hope this doesn't become a thing for him...

Jake Smith has been called up by the Padres.

A year after dominating San Jose, he struggled in Richmond (like most other prospects did this year), was a 40-man roster casualty because of the mid-season crunch we had. Only ended up pitching 5.2 innings for San Diego's AA, but he'll make his ML debut at some point this September.

Other teams LOVE our minor league bully castoffs...

I am not second guessing here, because I believe that each of these moves is the right move at the time, but it does sting when guys go on to success in other orgs...

Jake Smith was an easy decision for the organization at the time. Biagini was a bit harder. Despite his numbers at AA, the organization felt that other guys (Blach, Crick, Black, Smith, etc.) were more important to proect from the Rule 5 draft.

Rays' Matt Duffy: Undergoes successful surgery

• by RotoWire Staff
• Sep 10, 2016

Duffy (Achilles) underwent successful surgery Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It sounds like it was a fairly extensive procedure, with Duffy undergoing a bone debridement and having his bursa removed. A recovery timetable was not immediately offered up but the Rays reportedly think Duffy should be ready for spring training. The 25-year-old only played in 21 games with Tampa Bay and 91 games overall, slashing .258/.310/.357. He hit .295/.334/.428 with 12 homers and 12 stolen bases in 2015.

I haven't heard yet the result of Blanco's evaluation yesterday, but there was this blurb about him on ESPN (which I hope that they are just making an assumption):

"Whenever he's healthy enough to rejoin the team, Blanco figures to resume his role as the team's top reserve outfield option."

If that is true, why?

On a lighter note, today is the 30th anniversary of Bob Brenly's famous game.

It's the 30th anniversary of The Bob Brenly Game

Favorite quote from the article:
"Brenly probably looked like a crusty old manager by the time he was 14"

I've heard about this game, but its been a while and I was not into baseball when I was 9. That would come 4 years later.
