Nogowski was 1-4 tonight with a homer and 4 RBI.

Interesting how the minor league teams can add new players in the playoffs but since the main purpose is development, I guess that makes sense.

The guys at San Jose make the future look bright. Hopefully, more than a few make it past the AA graveyard.

Not familiar with Rodriguez, but Harrison, Luciano, Murphy and Matos are all LEGIT prospects.

You'd think at least two of these guys would end up on the big club.

Gotta wear shades...

Not really.

Ronnie Williams showed some improvement last year, though still walks too many. He's 25.

I am not sure why Jesus Tona didn't pitch many innings last season, but he's still only 25.

I can only guess Tona was hurt at the start of the season, but not sure. I had thought, after his amazing seasons since converting from catching, that the Giants would move him up faster but probably the 2020 lost season and, possibly, his injury, derailed that. I would like to see him get a shot at AAA next year with the Giants. Couldn't be worse that 2/3rds of the guys that they had there this year. If he doesn't work out, move on.

It sad to see Adon lost to injury all year and Cyr stink at AAA. Had high hopes for both.

I'd be okay if the Giants bring back Tona and Bishop and possibly Wolff, Hildenberger, Vizcaino and McCarthy. The rest I'm okay with seeing move on.

Oops, missed a minor league free agent - catcher Andres Angulo.

Bishop and Moronta?

Wasn't he, Moronta, a "next big thing" at one point?

I'm not that well versed in our lower league guys.

Bishop for sure though.

The “Bishop” on this list is not the ”Bishop” you are thinking of. This is his brother.

Moronta WAS “the next big thing”, until he suffered back to back major arm injuries.
