I have no idea who any of these guys are for the Blue Jays, but they are all my favorite player and I've been a fan since Day 1.

Spencer Miles (Scottsdale) has recorded 5 scoreless innings with 7 strikeouts and 1 walk so far in the Arizona Fall League. He only has 14.2 pro innings to his ledger since being selected in the 4th round of the 2022 draft by the #SFGiants

There are some soft spots on the 40. Matos, Luciano, Encarnación, Brubaker, and Knizner.

Not surprisingly, Patrick Bailey took home the Fielding Bible Award at catcher and earned Defensive Player of the Year by Sports Info Solutions. DRS tends to be valued in this process, and Bailey led all catchers with 19 DRS. Overall, he was tied for 3rd in that category.

The Fake News Media Is Attempting To Link Tony Vitello to the Open San Francisco Giants Managerial Job Despite the Fact It Doesn't Make a Lick of Sense

The Athletic — Here’s one out-of-the-box name who fits the high-motor description: Tony Vitello, who transformed the University of Tennessee from a bottom-feeder in the Southeastern Conference into pe...

Tom Murphy will almost certainly have his team option bought out. He's currently on the 60-day IL, so he does not affect the 40-man roster count.

Barring a change, the Giants should open the offseason with 39 players on the 40-man roster.

The #SFGiants will have some roster landscaping once FA opens up. The 40-man roster is full, but a few things will happen first:

Players electing FA: Justin Verlander, Dominic Smith, and Wilmer Flores
Players to be activated from the 60-day IL: Randy Rodríguez and Erik Miller.

Parks Harber (Scottsdale) has 7 hits, including a home run, and 5 walks in 19 at-bats. His 1.170 OPS ranks 4th among qualified (tiny sample) Arizona Fall League hitters.

I don't know an easy way to do this, but I'd guess that 56 players drafted is among the top colleges in baseball during Vitello's tenure.

The University of Tennessee saw 56 players drafted by MLB teams while Tony Vitello served as their manager. This includes 10 1st-round picks and 7 2nd-round picks. Of course, 2 of those 1st-round picks (Gavin Kilen and Drew Gilbert) are with the #SFGiants organization.

The general reservations I've heard are not necessarily unique to him, but more so to coaches making the jump from college to the pros. A couple of those include how he (his staff) can motivate/coach pro players, and how his energy/personality translates to a 162- game season.

I don't live nearby anymore, but when I visit, it is always a great and fun experience.

I grew up not too far from San Francisco. Partly because I grew up in the area, it may not have the same appeal to me as it does to many others, but if you focus on the negative, you're missing a vibrant city with great views, culture, and food.

Not surprisingly, people seem to have strong opinions about what San Francisco looks like who have probably not been there and are likely just regurgitating what they see on TV. Folks seem to forget that Oracle Park is arguably the most beautiful ballpark in baseball.
