Crawford (R-1, 2022)
Bednar (R-1, 2021)

They will be joined by 22-year-old LHP Jack Choate, a ninth-round pick from 2022; 23-year-old RHP Marques Johnson, acquired from the Red Sox for Mauricio Llovera; 23-year-old catcher Zach Morgan, a seventh-round pick in 2022; 24-year-old LHP Seth Lonsway, a sixth-round pick in 2021; and OF Carter Howell and LHP Hayden Wynja, two 24-year-old undrafted free agents from the 2022 class.

I don't think I can go this year, after my 50 day odyssey this summer. But I am tempted. Good baseball. Inexpensive tickets. Fall in Phoenix is pretty nice, too.

The Giants’ prospects will play for the Scottsdale Scorpions, along with those from the Cardinals, Phillies, Nationals and Angels. Play begins Oct. 3 and runs through Nov. 11.

Man, I'll be so close when play starts! I'll be in Zion National Park that day but have to get back home the next day. Someday I'll make it out there.

Other than Crawford and Bednar, none of these guys are prospects of note. I guess most of the better prospects are getting the offseason to rest. It makes sense that Bednar (injured most of the year) and Crawford (little playing time this year) would play though.

Bednar is still a thing? Who knew?

Remember when he was drafted primarily because of his proximity to the bigs and his really high floor?

Yeah. That was cool…

I feel bad for guys when their careers get ruined by injuries. I don't remember if he was injury prone in college. If so, that is definitely on the Giants.
