Heliot, Roby and More Spring Training Standouts

Spring Training games are now fully online and it gives us Giants fans plenty of opportunities not just to flame guys like Kapler and Zaidi but also to see the young guns, also known as the prospects, in the flesh. While Spring Training records amount to nothing in terms of the grand scheme of things and player stat lines during Spring Training are highly skeptical because the level of competition is so sketchy, the Giants are still 5-3 nonetheless and this... does put a smile on my face. In case you are wondering, the Padres are 6-1 and the Dodgers are 6-2. Again, the record will not transpire to the regular season but I feel that it gives us a pretty good indication that those two teams are at it again in the NL West.

Back to the prospects, I am here to talk about some players that are worth noting in the recent Spring Training games. Not just prospects, but also I would like to talk about a big leaguer that I like.

Making Some Sense on the Spring Training Games

Ah yes, Spring Training. The sun basking the diamond and players are getting their reps in. It's always nice to see baseball back and for the Giants, another year to make the best fanbase on Twitter blurt out sarcastic to disappointing comments. A couple of Spring Training games in, and I think that it is time to put some things to context.

2018 MLB Draft: Review on Day 1 and Day 2 Selections

The first two days of the MLB Draft has officially come to an end and after the top 5 to 7 picks have been selected, mocks really started to blow up as guys like Kyler Murray, Grayson Rodriguez, and Jordan Groshans became surprise selections and the fall of Matthew Liberatore, Nolan Gorman, and Brady Singer are also part of the shockers. We saw two Florida teammates pitching for the same team in Singer and Kowar to the Royals, Alec Bohm seemingly getting heckled by the female interviewer, Rays making great selections, and more. For the Giants, given all of the whack of the first day of the draft and all the wrenches that were thrown, things went well for them, to possibly a boring one as the names that were tagged on them all along on tons of mock drafts for a couple of months now went to their lap with the selections of Joey Bart and Sean Hjelle (pronounced Jelly). In this post, I will give you my in-depth reports of Bart and Hjelle and my reactions on each pick. Also included is the quick hitters on Day 2 draftees.
