Former Giants in the Big Leagues - 2022

[msgkings322]

Both Dereck Rodriguez (Twins) and Dusten Knight (Rays) got their contracts purchased today. It got me thinking, how many former Giants (played on the team and/or were in the farm system) are in the big leagues currently (active roster only)? Well, here's the list:
Diamondbacks - Madison Bumgarner, Mark Melancon
Braves - Will Smith, Alex Dickerson, Adam Duvall
Red Sox - Christian Arroyo
Cubs - Drew Smyly
White Sox - Kyle Crick
Reds - Hunter Strickland, Aramis Garcia
Rockies - Ty Blach, Ashton Goudeau, Connor Joe, Kris Bryant
Astros - Jose Siri
Angels - Matt Duffy
Dodgers - Tyler Anderson, Hanser Alberto
Marlins - Steven Okert
Brewers - Trevor Gott, Jandel Gustave, Andrew McCutchen
Twins - Dereck Rodriguez
Yankees - Jonathan Loaisiga, Wandy Peralta
Athletics - Dany Jimenez, Adam Oller, Stephen Vogt
Phillies - Zack Wheeler
Pirates - Anthony Banda, Heath Hembree, Jose Quintana, Chris Stratton, Bryan Reynolds
Padres - Pierce Johnson
Mariners - Sergio Romo, Tom Murphy
Rays - Dusten Knight, Matt Wisler
Rangers - Charlie Culberson
Blue Jays - Kevin Gausman, Tyler Heineman
Nationals - Hunter Harvey, Lucius Fox

Seems to me the only players left in the majors from The Nine are Bumgarner and Romo

He's off to a good start, so far, in Mexico. In 3 games, he is 3 for 10 with a home run and 2 walks (and no strikeouts).

COVID or injury?

COVID or injury?

Back soreness for Bryant, probably COVID for Melancon

Jaylin Davis is back on the waiver wire. Hope he lands with someone who will actually give him a chance to play in the big leagues.

They make decent money, but the AAAA+ life has to be tough. You are at the absolute whim of the waiver gods.

It must be especially tiring for the guys who get claimed 4 or 5 times in one year.

That’s exactly who I am talking about.

Reyes Moronta got his contract purchased today by the Dodgers. Feeling very conflicted about how successful I want him to be.

He seems to be doing very well in limited appearances. ERA of 2.57 going into tonight's game against the Philth (only 7 innings pitched). Gameday clocks his FB at 95+.

This CAN be a nice move. Cueto can put up nice starts, he is just super injury prone. And he isn’t worth anywhere close to 20m per. If he is given a flyer at 4 or 5 mil, he could give you 10-15 OK starts. That isn’t a bad return.

And he is a blast to watch.

Cueto having his first start for the Sox today, at KC (good idea considering his success there). He struck out all 3 of his first inning batters...
