It’s the time of year where we start to get really excited about Minor League prospects — San Francisco Giants Minor League prospects, specifically. With or without the Major League lockout ending, Minor Leaguers will head to camp before too long, and we’ll start to hear reports, stories, and rumblings about improvements players have made.
Not long after that, actual games will happen, and we’ll start to have data points to see just how good some prospects have gotten — or if they’re disappointing.
It makes sense, then, that it’s also the time of year when prospect lists start dropping (we’re doing our own list of Giants prospects as a community).
