Bucardo struggled a bit this season in his repeat performance at short season Salem-Keizer.  Bucardo went 6-7 with a 4.57 ERA and 40 K's in 67 IP.  Burcardo proved to be quite hittable allowing a .357 BAA.  Bucardo has decent stuff, a 90-92 MPH fastball with heavy sink and a solid slider and change that needs polish.  Bucardo has decent control and his sinker effectively induces ground ball outs.  Read the full story

Wow!  Bumgarner blasted his way onto the prospect scene with an '08 season for the ages.  Bumgarner blazed through the South Atlantic League compiling a 15-3 record with a minuscule 1.46 ERA and 164 K's in 141.2 IP.  Moreover, Madison showed impeccable control with only 21 walks and a .216 BAA.  Blessed with a mid 90's fastball with good movement in on right handed batters, Madison also showed marked improvement in his off speed offerings, a hard curve and improving change. Bumgarner is a great athlete who can still grow into his young developing body.

After an '08 like that, it is hard to find areas in Bumgarner's game that need to improve. Better command of his changeup and a sharper bite to his sweeping curveball will enhance his effectiveness and efficiency.  The young ace needs to locate his pitches down in the strike zone more as he showed some difficulty in forcing groundballs.  Bumgarner is on the fast track to San Francisco and will likely start  off the 2009 Season at San Jose.  Expect a promotion to AA Connecticut at some point next season.  Bumgarner is one of baseball's biggest and brightest future stars and joining a rotation with the two Tim's (Lincecum and Alderson) is cause for Giants fans to celebrate.

Shadowed in relative obscurity, Gillespie quietly had a solid season for AA Huntsville, hitting .281 with 14 HR 79 RBI and 17 SB.  Gillespie is an Oregon State alum that doesn't have the standout tools that other top prospects have, though his all around game and polish should translate well at the major league level.  Gillespie works counts very well (75 BB/ 102 K), though he could be more aggressive at times.  He has alley power that should produce 15-20 HR per season at the major league level.  His arm and defensive range Read the full story

Doolittle started his 2008 campaign at High-A Stockton where he proved critics of his power potential wrong by the cover off of tha ball.  In 86 games, Doolittle hit .305 with 18 HR 61 RBI and 25 doubles.  This performance was good enough to earn him a promotion to AA Midland where he struggled early on to make consistent contact, but a late season hot streak boosted his AA average to .254.  Doolittle has a sweet left-handed line drive swing that seems to have developed more loft and power Read the full story

The Giants doled out $2.1 million to sign the 17 year old Villalona out of the Dominican Republic in 2006.   Villalona spent his first year in the minors at full season Augusta where he hit .263 with 17 HR and 64 RBI.  This young slugger has power potential that rates off of the charts.  His strapping frame still has a lot of room for strength development, which gives many observers the feeling that Angel should develop into a 40 HR per season player.  Angel is surprisingly Read the full story

Gonzalez was one of the key prospects in the trade that sent Dan Haren to the Diamondbacks.  Gonzalez got called up by the A's in June and struggled to show the power potential that made him the D'backs top prospect in '07.  Gonzalez has a lightning quick swing that causes the ball to jump off of his bat.  Defensively, he has good range and a top flight arm reminiscent of Bobby Abreu or Ichiro Suzuki.  The tools are all in place for Carlos to be an all-star caliber player.  The biggest detractor Read the full story
