Happy weekend, San Francisco Giants fans.
Friday was one of my favorite days in the season: the release of Fangraphs’ list of the top Giants prospects.
I’m always fascinated to see how Fangraphs ranks the Giants prospects, especially since they do an exhaustive list with a lot of write-ups ... some which give us information we didn’t know, some which repeat stuff we did know, and some which are a bit befuddling.
This year they ranked the top 49 prospects. No, that’s not an homage to San Francisco’s history. It’s just that they rank all of the prospects that they give a 35+ grade or better to, and this year that’s 49 (which is a pretty high number).
